Models for Advertising

Rainford Models have many years experience in building models of all types for advertising purposes.

It does not matter whether the models are life sized (as in the Jonathan Oakes tyre), made of brass (the Cheetham Bell gold floppy disk), used in a television commercials (the Buxton Wall computer) or programs (The Great British Menu) or even being photographed for billboard campaigns (the Norweb PCB) we give the same attention to detail to each and every model.

Shown below are a few representative samples of our work with pictures and a brief description of the technique used and the use the advertising model was put to.

Client: Norweb This PCB is made from scratch by hand. All the copper and silver tracks were cut out carefully by hand. All components were individually placed, fixed and named. This photograph was used as part of a billboard advertising campaign around the north west of Manchester.
