Architectural Projects

Models built for presence, precision, and detail.

Two directions, one process: a scale replica of your own home as a keepsake or decor piece, and 1/64 scenery and structures built for model railroad, wargaming, and diorama enthusiasts.

The house didn't come with paperwork guaranteeing any of this would last. No deed promises the light will keep hitting the kitchen table the same way at five o'clock, that the fourth stair will always creak, or that the hallway will stay exactly as narrow as it felt when I was still growing into it.

Some of what we build was never a home at all — a streetlamp, a row of pine trees, a building that only ever existed at 1/64 scale, standing in for a place someone is still imagining.

And when the real house is gone — sold, renovated, torn down — what's left fits in the palm of a hand: the shape of it, exact to the inch, standing somewhere I can still see it. Not the house. Just everything it meant.

Two ways we build

Back-Alley Diorama Set

A brick wall, service door, gas meter, and chain-link fence panel, all built true to 1/64 scale — a backdrop piece for layouts, wargaming tables, or anyone who collects the overlooked corners of a city.

Home replicas — send photos, a floor plan, or an address, and we model your house as a display piece: for a present, a housewarming, or your own shelf.

Model scenery (1/64) — custom buildings, structures, and terrain pieces built to true 1/64 scale for layouts, dioramas, and collections.

Home replica

Victorian Family Home

Every gable, dormer, and porch rail rebuilt from a handful of old family photographs — the house someone grew up in, standing on a shelf again long after the keys were handed over.

Sold, renovated, or torn down years ago, it doesn't need to still be standing for us to build it. Send what you have — photos, a street view, a sketch from memory — and we'll bring back the place, and everything that happened inside it.

Custom commission

Start an architectural model commission.

Send drawings, references, dimensions, material goals, or presentation requirements. We'll follow up with model strategy, production options, pricing, and timeline.
