Designing a scale model is both a technical and creative process. It blends digital engineering with hands on craft so the final piece communicates an idea with clarity and impact. As a leading UK scale model making company, JH May approaches every commission as a collaboration that turns a sketch, CAD file or full size […]
Inside the World of Professional Model Making Model making might sound like something you’d find in a school design project or hobbyist’s garage – but in reality, professional model makers play a critical role in industries ranging from architecture and engineering to film, exhibitions and product design. At JH May, we help businesses visualise and […]
In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, it’s easy to assume that physical models are becoming obsolete. With the rise of CAD software, digital twins, virtual reality and real-time rendering, product designers, architects and engineers have more digital tools than ever at their fingertips. But at JH May, we’ve seen something different. Rather than replacing physical models, […]
When it comes to model making, precision and efficiency are paramount. Over the years, technological advancements have revolutionised how models and prototypes are developed, and at the heart of this transformation is CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining. From its early days as a rudimentary tool for shaping materials to its modern role as an indispensable […]
JH May were proud to help with an international brand’s project to rebrand a London pub to get it ready for a festive event. We manufactured a giant Christmas bow with neon-style lighting to mount to the historic pub’s exterior, as well as creating custom pub signs to complete the rebranding effect.
Traditional model making has long relied on manual craftsmanship, which, while creative, is often limited by time, precision, and scalability. These methods may also struggle to keep up with changes or the need for larger-scale models. 3D scanning and printing have transformed the process, offering a faster and more accurate way to create detailed models. […]
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining technology has revolutionised the manufacturing industry by enabling the precise and efficient production of complex parts and models. This innovative technology uses computer-aided design (CAD) files to control machine tools, allowing for the creation of intricate designs with high accuracy and repeatability. When it comes to custom modelling, CNC machining […]
Product model making is an indispensable aspect of the design and development process, bringing concepts to life and bridging the gap between imagination and reality. It is a complex and intricate craft that demands a combination of artistic vision and technical expertise.
Large displays have become an essential component of exhibitions and events, serving as a powerful tool to captivate audiences, convey brand messages, and create unforgettable experiences. In today’s competitive event landscape, a well-designed and executed large display can be the difference between a mediocre event and a truly memorable one.
Architectural models have been an integral part of the design and construction process for centuries. These miniature replicas of buildings and structures allow architects, engineers, and clients to visualise and tangibly communicate complex designs, facilitating better understanding and decision-making.
