Here are grades of Level
of Detailing for Architectural models and Scale
Replicas along with description for each main
and transitional grade. We hope that this
section will help you to understand which level
of detailing fits your needs best and which
features will be provided when the level of
detailing for your model is defined.
Low
General configuration and
major details are accurately represented.
Textures and finishes are not represented or
represented with limitations. Mono, duo or tri
chrome panting scheme, solid colors. Doors and
windows are not represented or outlined. Scenery
elements (if applicable) are simplified and
painted monochrome. Vegetation (if applicable)
is simplified (balls on stick in most cases) and
painted monochrome. Furniture (for interior
models, if applicable) is simplified,
representing a general type of furniture item
and a general size of it, painted monochrome.
Pedestal / display (if applicable) is
simplified, made of composites and solid
painted.
Medium
General configuration and
main details are
accurately represented. Textures and finishes
are represented with limitations by painting and
applications, no use of natural materials.
Panting scheme is multi-color, solid colors.
Doors and windows are outlined, frameless, not
recessed, and might be painted in assigned solid
color (dark gray or dark brown by default).
Scenery elements (if applicable) are simplified
and painted monochrome or duo chrome. Vegetation
(if applicable) is simplified (balls on stick in
most cases) and painted monochrome. Furniture
(for interior models, if applicable) is
representing a specific type of furniture item
and a general size of it, lightly detailed and
painted to specifications in main solid colors.
Pedestal / display (if applicable) is
simplified, made of composites and solid
painted.
Medium to High
General configuration,
main and some precise details are
accurately represented. Textures and finishes
are represented by painting and applications,
possible limited use of natural materials.
Panting scheme is multi-color, solid colors.
Doors and windows are frameless or have frames
outlined by scribe-lines, recessed, and painted
in assigned solid color (dark gray or dark brown
by default). Scenery elements (if applicable)
are realistic and painted monochrome or duo
chrome. Vegetation (if applicable) is realistic
and painted monochrome. Furniture (for interior
models, if applicable) is representing a
specific type and size of furniture item,
lightly detailed and painted to specifications
in main solid colors. Pedestal / display (if
applicable) is simplified, made of composites
and solid painted.
High
General configuration,
main and precise details are
accurately represented. Textures and finishes
are represented by painting and applications,
limited use of natural materials, such as wood,
brass, steel and fabric. Stock and custom
photo-etched details are being used to achieve a
precise representation of selected details.
Panting scheme is multi-color, realistic;
paintjob is protected by “invisible” acrylic
coating. Signs, paintings, insignia are
precisely represented. Doors and windows are
recessed, with frames (represented by
mask-painting or photo-etching) and colored
non-transparent background (dark gray or dark
brown by default), with glossy finish on the
outside. Scenery elements (if applicable) are
realistic and painted monochrome or duo chrome.
Vegetation (if applicable) is realistic and
painted monochrome. Furniture (for interior
models, if applicable) is custom, detailed and
painted to specifications. Pedestal / display
(if applicable) is made of wood and composites
and solid painted or stained.
High to Museum
In general close to
“High”, with the following upgrades:
-
Wider use of natural
materials, such as wood, brass, steel and
fabric.
-
Doors and windows
might be made of clear material with partial
interior behind them.
-
Scenery elements (if
applicable) are painted realistically upon
request.
-
Vegetation (if
applicable) is painted realistically upon
request.
-
Pedestal / display (if
applicable) is made of wood, stained and has
brass plate upon request.
Museum
This is the highest
standard of scale model fabrication. The main
goal is to create a replica which will look
precisely like scaled down original and will be
protected from aggressive agents, affecting its
look and shortening the life of the model. All
details are the most precise and accurate. All
textures and finishes are realistic, represented
by acid-free applications, artistic painting and
decoration, with massive use of custom
photo-etching and natural materials, such as
wood, brass, copper, steel, stainless steel and
fabric. Actual chrome or silver plating.
Anti-aging treatment of interior and exterior.
Deluxe wooden or custom
designed pedestal/display with custom brass
plate (upon request). |
