History

Established in 1989.

In business for over 20 years, we are one of the most experienced model making firms in the Midwest. Founded, owned and operated by Catherine E. Tinker, J.D. (Washington University, St. Louis, 1980), our team is trained in architecture, product design, painting and sculpture, computer science and law. In 2008 we made the City of Chicago Model for the Chicago Architecture Foundation. This free attraction includes over 325 square feet of the heart of Chicago at a scale of 1 inch = 50 feet. To date this scale model has been viewed by over 1 million people.

We have consistently managed and produced quality models and exhibits for satisfied customers within budget and on schedule. Our key personnel are experienced, smart, creative, competent and reliable. In our 10,000 square foot studio we routinely manage numerous projects simultaneously. We have a national and international client base — you can see our models around the country and the world.
