AIDAN CAMPBELL MINIATURES

t: 07801 278044
e: aidan@aidan-campbell.co.uk

Specialising in the more artistic and smaller sized end of miniature arts, sculpture, model making and traditional crafts I’ve earned a reputation as “the chap you go to when you don’t know who else to go to”, with many of my customers being other professional model making companies sub-contracting out the more obscure, difficult and demanding aspects of detailing their own work.

My client list is diverse taking in private collectors around the globe and major museums through model manufactures in the hobby markets to architectural firms, big business, TV/film, PR and advertising agencies. The projects I’ve undertaken have been pretty eclectic ranging from the common place like sculpting miniature historical figures for museums like the Tower of London, making collectable models for foreign royalty, designing/casting presentation pieces for companies like Rolls Royce and prop making for Sky TV, to carving celebrity portraits out of mini-cheeses for Babybel, or hand painting tiny sports strips for live insects as part of a promotional campaign for the English cricket board. My work and myself as an artist have featured in national newspapers, seen me interviewed live by the BBC through to making headlines on the international MSN website.

So if you want a set of 2D technical drawings physically reproduced as essentially a 3D set of technical drawings using soulless computer controlled rapid prototyping machinery then that’s not who I am or what I do. If you want a skilled and successful miniature artist to hand-craft something tiny in size but big on character that’s going to stand out and get noticed I’d be pleased to hear from you.

Ward-Lambert Architectural Models is a new, young company specialising in creating unique models for architects, designers and private clients. Headed up by Matthew Ward-Lambert, the company produces beautifully-made models of buildings and landscapes, to draw viewers into the built environment and communicate the designers' intentions.

The company focuses on the use of quality materials, and how to pair these choices to best express the aesthetic intentions of a design. Using a simple palette of materials, it aims to eschew the doll house style of purely figurative modelling in favour of a more subtle, but stylish, approach. Matt typically uses tonal differences in timbers, corks and cards to communicate materiality in an understated way, but each project can be tailored to suit the client's desire for a particular material or level of representation. Each project will be approached afresh.

Whetton & Grosch model making and sculpture studios supply highly detailed scale models and replicas for the museum and film industries.

We often include figures in the models to help define the scale and, by adding a rich layer of detail, we can introduce a real sense of place and habitation.

Computer aided technologies are combined with more traditional skills such as sculpting and modelling by hand to provide a balanced finished product full of life, authenticity and atmosphere.

We can supply, adapt or make period props from a one off item to the theming/dressing of a whole gallery.

We have a good working knowledge of period style and historical context to supply a fully referenced stand out result for your project.

Established in 1969, our model makers manufacture scale models for developers and their architects, and also offer a bespoke laser cutting service. As can be seen from our website, we are commissioned by nationally known and respected companies, as well as SMBs and individuals.

While we use the latest laser technology in the construction of our models, we also retain traditional hand finishes, which our clients consider give our models a certain “warmth” and accessibility, often lacking with modern techniques.

We believe that our success is based on our client’s confidence in our ability to produce models to the highest standards and exacting schedules.

If you wish to discuss your requirements for any potential models, laser cutting services, or have any general queries regarding this company please contact Julie Lightburn, Manager, or one of our senior model makers.
