One of the most challenging miniature approaches is making architectural models of actual or proposed projects. It not only involves making miniature objects at very small scales, it also requires near real landscaping. The models shown in the album start with the architect's drawings, many photos and onsite measurements. Having made several hundred of each, I have also become adept at making palm trees in 1/96 and 1/192 scale. For proposed projects, presentation of the concept is important.
