1/1400 Enterprise D window masking.
The neck might have the most windows per square foot of any other part of the ship!

At FENIX Museum of Migration, the tower is the detail that holds the whole model together: a warm vertical core rising through a crisp white frame, with each floor line keeping the transformation legible. Which junction would you study first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
At Naga Quay, the roofline does more than signal place: it pulls light into the open interior while the white structural rhythm keeps the busy program legible. Which detail catches you first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
Our easy to make DNA paper model has been really popular this week! Here is what you can show with it. Build a giant one in your classroom! See this & more genetics models here: buff.ly/Q7R3EZT
At Ningbo Xiangshan People's Square, the model reads as a sequence of thresholds: a low civic edge, planted terraces and the elevated roofline above. Which layer gives the project its strongest sense of place? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking #JYDModel
"For those who come after..."

At Anji Culture & Arts Center, the roof plates are the story: thin, layered forms shelter a glowing public interior while the planted site carries the movement around them. Which view makes the structure clearest to you? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking #JYDModel
Growing the fleet. Yet another nautical project. I keep playing old sea shanties in the background while I work on them.

At 1:260, Ningbo Rail Transit Office reads as a chain of towers, courtyards and planted edges. The key is hierarchy: bright streets establish movement, while smaller landscape elements slow the eye down. Which route catches you first? #ArchitecturalModel #UrbanDesign #ModelMaking
At 1:180, Poly Guanghe Shangcheng shows how a stepped residential composition can stay calm: repeated volumes, planted terraces and a clear ground plane keep the reading human-scale. Which layer would you study first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking #JYDModels
In this Longgang urban model, the continuous facade grid does more than unify the buildings. It lets different heights, setbacks and planted roofs read as one district—dense, but still legible at eye level. Which layer would you study first? #ArchitecturalModel #UrbanDesign #ModelMaking
One detail we kept returning to in this Chaoyangmen Park model: the tower's curved vertical ribs. Their spacing has to hold a clean rhythm through the bend, while the dark glazing stays quiet enough for the silhouette to lead. Where would you look first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
Creating additional masks for the 1400 D. I'm using MaskDesign and Greenstrawberry vinyl masks for this kit, but both exclude the lifeboats and rim windows for both hulls.
Adobe Illustrator, calipers, and a Cameo 4 made this pretty easy
If you want to see an absolutely adorable 1920s miniature steam engine taken apart, restored, and put back together as part of a model boat restoration, Hand Tool Rescue is here for you:

Solar studies are one of my fav parts of physical modelling ☀️
They show how orientation, openings & depth change as light moves, revealing spaces that a static render can’t always explain. #Architecture is never really experienced under one fixed light. 🫶
MAD Yiwu Grand Theater at 1:200: sweeping roof shells, stepped terraces and arrival routes held in one readable composition. Layered massing and controlled lighting keep public movement clear from every view. MAD Yiwu Grand Theater by JYD Model #ArchitecturalModel #TheaterArchitecture #ModelMaking
深圳机场 at 1:1500: cool runway markers and glowing terminal volumes make a vast airfield readable as a sequence of movement. 深圳机场 by JYD Model · www.jydmodel.com #ArchitecturalModel #AirportDesign #ModelMaking
ARAYA at 1:150: stepped terraces, recessed balconies and a clean tower silhouette held in one controlled rhythm. The fabrication challenge is precision at the edge—letting light define the massing without flattening it. ARAYA by JYD Model · www.jydmodel.com #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
Harbin Grand Theatre: flowing shells, diamond glazing and terrain held together at model scale. Precise shell transitions and controlled transparency keep the spatial sequence readable from afar and rewarding up close. JYD Model | www.jydmodel.com #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
