Architectural Model Conservation, Conserving & Restoration

Our team of museum conservation and restoration model makers have developed many sympathetic architectural model conservation & conserving techniques. These museum techniques are far more effective than those used by the model makers that produced the original architectural model.

These model conservation & restoration techniques are especially important in the conserving of architectural models. This is especially important for prestigious projects. Some of these architectural models will later form part of important historical exhibitions or collections within museums.

Various intensities of conservation and conserving are adopted to consolidate the model. Although on certain model projects only conservation and its preservation are required. This methodology leaves the patina that builds up with time. If restoration is the preferred option then we will return the model as close as possible to its original condition.

Architectural models become more fragile with age, materials become brittle & adhesives dry out. Therefore keeping vibration and shock impact to a minimum is paramount. So where possible all conservation and repair work is carried out on site.

This saves on the transportation cost and reduces downtime, allowing the model to be viewed immediately after the conservation is completed.

We would always recommend cleaning or repairing architectural models on a monthly basis. This approach prevents the build-up of dirt and important broken items can be easily replaced before they are lost.

For those delicate architectural models that need to travel to exhibitions, we provide our unique tailor-made museum-grade anti-vibration packing cases. These purpose built packing cases dramatically reduce the chance of breakages whilst in transit.
