OUR PROCESS
ANALYSIS – After a project gets approved we analyse the drawings for completeness and discrepancies. Once we are clear on what needs to be done and what information still needs to be gathered we inform the client and start the drafting process.
DRAFTING & CUTTING – In the drafting process we simplify the drawings and create shapes that can be cut out and assembled. After these have been neatly organized they are sent to the machine room where walls, window frames and roofing are precision cut with out CNC and laser machines.
SKELETON ASSEMBLY After all has been cut out and organized we start the assembly of your model. Walls come together and the main shape of the building(s) is starting to show. If the model is at a large scale basic textures can also be seen in this phase.
BASE COLORS After the skeleton has been assembled our craftsmen commence to spray on the base colors of the model. This is a fine art and we usually go through several samples and trials before the final swatches are approved. We have sprayed melanges for brick, texture for sandstone, shiny metal, rough weathered concrete, and smooth marble for surfaces that look like you could skate on them.
MODEL/BASE CONNECTION – At this point we’ll put the model together with the floor plate: the layout of the surroundings. Now you can see the model in context and this often triggers an aha-moment where things come together.
ADDING OF DETAILS – From here we start adding details that make the model feel finished: window frames, glazing, railing, doors, chimneys, lighting, cars, trees, flowers and of course little figures. As the model comes slowly to life clients usually express they can’t wait to receive the model. A sign that another dream has been made tangible.
PACKING – The packing is something we have extensive experience in. Sturdy wooden crates, safe distance between the model and the box walls and a dust blanket make sure that all models arrive safely with our clients.
SHIPPING – After the model has been picked up by the courier service we will send you the tracking number. As soon as in 3 – 4 days the model will be hand delivered to your doorstep!
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Oki Alexander is someone who is not only nice to work with, but also one who lives up to the promises he makes.
The prices are good, the quality is good, the delivery time is good. Even if the drawings are not 100% complete Oki and his team can make it work. He and his team produced models for many of our projects:
Residenza Montopoli Italia, Residence Bellevue Zell am See Austria; among others.
In short, Oki and the AMOD team are very pleasant to work with.
Sven Dumpff, Dormio Leisure Development
Oki has helped us out many times with his precise knowledge of building scale models. In a rush he analyses the drawings, sketches and so on, and communicates in a quick way (from China to the Netherlands) with photographs and by mail.
Oki speaks both languages fluently and he knows both cultures which takes away the barrier to do business worldwide.
At AMOD they produce the models with a high level of detail, with craftsmanship and with speed that it is unique in this business. And off course, the price is right and they always deliver in time.
Rico Zweers, De Mannen van Schuim
Never hesitate to cont(r)act Oki for the first time! You wont be disappointed! Oki manages the proces from beginning to end, sending pictures of the progress overnight, so you don’t lose any time building the scale model. We had some projects that were in a rush in more than one occasion.
He delivered each of them within a timespan of only 3/4 weeks, including the 3-4 days it took the shipping from China.
And not unimportant, for a good price! He and his team have an eye for detail. Excellent communication in Dutch (!) or English.
I am very satisfied doing business with AMOD.
Annemieke Verwoert, AM Real Estate Development
It is with pleasure that we recommend AMOD. We have used the services of AMOD on a number of occasions and have received excellent service and quality workmanship.
Oki and his team have always delivered as per their quoted timeframe and with the highest of quality workmanship for a very competitive price. The quality and fine detail of the project models helped us greatly with sales both in Australia and travelling overseas with the well packaged travel model.
We would highly recommend AMOD to anyone looking for a showroom model or a compact travel size model.
