selected bits superglued together, everything coated in wood filler, paint & shade & moss texture. bits of real wood are generally off-scale for modelmaking but a bit of coarsely-applied filler goes a long way towards selling the illusion *and* giving the whole thing more amalgamated strength.

Just going to keep redoing things until I like how it looks.

I only need to get good at this once.

I love the metal ones too!
I spent a long, long time with these in architecture school. My university still used this kind of giant metal table in all the studios, so I know these very well.

I wish I had one alongside my wooden one. I would use the wooden one for drawing, and this for modelmaking.

At HPA's Regional Planning 1:1000 model, the useful trick is contrast: compact vertical clusters meet low, quieter blocks, so the landscape corridors keep their role at a glance. In your view, which move anchors the reading? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking

At MAD Greater Bay Area Science Forum, the calm outer shell needs a crisp cutaway, fine glazing and lit floors to reveal its public rooms. That balance—solid outside, active within—does a lot of storytelling. What detail carries the most weight for you? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking

At JYD Model, the Poly Hotel in Angers was built around one test of legibility: keeping repeated balcony frames, planted terraces and a low, flowing amenity roof readable from the same viewing distance. Which layer do you notice first? www.jydmodel.com #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking

In this 1:100 model of THE CHAPEL OF SONG, the long folded plane frames the entry below while keeping the rooftop opening visible from above. A small depth shift changes the whole reading. Which view would you study first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking

Bookmarks in this paradigm serve a different purpose, which operates in the longer term. You keep a tab open of a thing you might need for a specific current project; you bookmark the top level domain of a modelmaking hardware store you like. Tabs are tactical, bookmarks are strategic.
