We create highly detailed models and prototypes for all design phases, and produce machined component parts rapidly, efficiently, on time and on budget.

Artistry in Architecture Since 1977

Scott Harrington began his career at The Model Shop in 1977, when the company was a humble workshop in its early years. He created beautiful architectural models by meticulously drafting and cutting material by hand, but as technology has advanced in the last 48 years, so have his innovative methods of model making.

After becoming owner in 1980, Scott embraced advancements like AutoCAD in the '90s, CNC milling in the 2000s, and 3D printing in the 2010s, continually evolving to produce the highest quality work.

Today, our diverse team combines over 30 years of fabrication experience with fresh perspectives from the architecture and film industries.

Our Promise

As a family-run shop, we treat each project with the care and attention it deserves, ensuring a personalized product that larger factories simply can't match. We use only the finest materials and paints, paying close attention to detail to produce models that are not only accurate representations, but also premium works of art.

We believe in a collaborative process, inviting clients to our shop to select colors, materials, and finishes, ensuring the final model aligns perfectly with their vision.
