Miniatures

Here are two of my miniature projects:

First, you will see my model of an abandoned Icelandic building. I created this as part of a college module, where the task was to build a miniature abandoned version of a real-life building in the country assigned to us—in my case, Iceland. The original building is an Italian restaurant, and I have included reference pictures of the actual structure below.

My second model is a launderette. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our college modules were adapted to be completed at home. For this project, the task was to create a miniature building that could fit into a small space in our homes. I chose to make a launderette that fits into the skirting boards in my laundry room.

Launderette

  • I drew the Launderette sign in AutoCAD and printed it to the correct scale

  • The interior is a perspective drawing. As the space I chose to fit the launderete into lacked depth I decided to draw an illusion instead.

  • Model in selected space.

  • Brick accent wall and fan with bent parking sign.
