Two 1:400 scale models of parcel handling depot

UK Mail ordered two identical site models of their huge new facility at Ryton because they needed an overview model at either end of the site, one in the offices and one in the main warehouse building. Constructing two models at the same time enabled us to offer them a significant saving on the second unit. 1:400 scale is a good option for a site model because it keeps the base size down but still allows us to show a recognisable level of detail. We were even able to show a good representation of the parcel handling conveyors through the cut-away roof (click on the inset pic above to see the detail).

Slate / Perspex Trophy

The client, a supplier of replacement knee joints, asked us to design and make a one-off trophy that could be presented each year as part of an internal awards ceremony. It had to incorporate a knee joint sample so we came up with this Slate/Perspex mounting with laser-etched detail. We designed it so that the Perspex up-stand could be easily updated each year with the new winner’s name.
