This model of Lake Tahoe was commissioned by the Lake Tahoe tourism board. This is a self contained interactive model. Dozens of LED’s are set into the surface of the topo to represent every golf course, casino, hotel, and amusement area. The front panel of the stand opens up and two touch screen computers can [...]
Model of 911 Mobile Response
Not every transportation model is about highway redesigns. This is the Thor truck, an emergency 911 vehicle model. The problem with natural disasters is that they tend to take down the very services that were put in place to protect us. This mobile emergency services truck can be deployed to a disaster site to keep [...]
Park Service Topography Model
This extremely high detailed topography model of Boulder County Colorado was completed for the Park service. The model was created as part of a traveling exhibit to show the natural conditions of this beautiful county. This model is about the landforms and water features so it does not show towns, roads or highways. Every nuance [...]
Highway interchange model
Milwaukee Transportation and CH2MHill engineering have used us many times to construct models showing necessary changes to their highways throughout the state. This model for the Brown County interchange was built in the horizontal scale of 1″ = 200′ with a vertical scale of 1″ = 100′ to better see the heights and highway separations.
Model of Presidio in San Francisco
The highway leading to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco required major updates. We were tasked with building a ten foot civil engineering model of the whole Presidio area from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Palace of Fine Arts. Where the highway previously went over the rolling hills, there are now going to [...]
Civil model in Milwaukee
This civil engineering model of the Michell Interchange in Milwaukee covers a lot of area. The funky shape is required to show just the areas affected by construction. The model sections each had to come apart and be reassembled easily. The crate nested all of the model sections into one box for ease of transportation. [...]
Zoo Interchange civil model
This model of the interchange centering around the Milwaukee Zoo is a complex model covering a lot of area. In order to save money and still show context we designed the model to be part 3d construction and part aerial photographs. All of the buildings that were directly affected by the construction were built in [...]
Military model for urban assault training
War games are no joke. This scale model shows an actual urban assault training ground. The model is used to stage teams of soldiers for training exercises. The military is seldom about large land attacks anymore. Our soldiers need experience in smaller teams that know what to do in an urban environment. We toured this [...]
Community model showing brochure graphics
Our architectural model website shows many models of communities. This one is different because instead of showing properties and homes, we were asked to match the graphics on the developers brochure and essentially recreate that brochure as a three dimensional model. Using their color schemes and graphic elements we created this large display model to [...]
Sixth Street
The Sixth Street Viaduct in Los Angeles California needs to be replaced. The concrete is disintegrating and there is no other solution but to rebuild the bridge. Unfortunately there is also a huge fan base for this old bridge. Because of its location it has been featured in about 70 major motion pictures. Jim Carrey’s [...]
