 We work directly with curators and exhibit designers to create exciting and historically accurate visual documentation of our industrial past. They are ideal for exhibiting large industrial artifacts such as machinery and processes and perfect for boardroom or lobby display. Projects have ranged from tunnel drilling machines and linear induction locomotives to replicas of historic scientific instruments, all made with watchmaker precision.

Our museum quality models are meticulously crafted to the highest archival standards, using appropriate materials and techniques to replicate the original. Master craftsmanship, dedication to accuracy and research capability are the hallmarks of this highly specialized modelmaking.



Dorpat Telescope

1/12th Scale Model created for exhibition in the Centennial Celebration of the National Geographic Society, at Explorer's Hall, Washington, DC. The Dorpat Telescope is considered one of the world's finest scientific instruments. The original, still in existence, was built in 1823 by Joseph von Fraunhofer, known as "the father of modern physics. Model, 15" tall, is available for purchase from Gould Studios.
     


English Common Printing Press

1/12th Scale working model purchased by the Kansas City Miniatures Museum. Exact replica of the famous printing press, circa 1763, reputed to have been used by Benjamin Franklin, now in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.


Steam Launch Engine

An example of a computer generated model, created in SolidWorks™ from original drawings in an 1878 book on Drafting Technique. It is likely that this 7"x7" Twin Simple Steam Launch Engine was never actually built, but served as an example for students. Every part of the original has been faithfully modeled, and this will be a future Gould Studios CAD Fine Art Print release.
