Government and military work
Our public-sector work includes two 8 × 8 foot terrain models for the Michigan National Guard's Exercise Northern Strike, two site models of a proposed parade ground and aircraft museum area at Joint Base San Antonio, a hands-on training model for the U.S. Coast Guard, commemorative Cobra Dane retirement models and a mobile office model for Live Well San Diego.
How agencies use physical models
Base and installation models support master planning, briefings and visitor centers. Training models let crews learn equipment and procedures hands-on. Retirement and commemorative replicas honor systems, ships, aircraft and units. Public facility models help explain projects at community meetings.
