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

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

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
Took a break fro working on the VW Camper to try my hand at Supergirl. Skin tone is next. Yikes! 😧 #airbrush #miniature #3dprinting #modelmaking
Zoid completed. My first Realize model done. I liked the idea of the firing parts. But the particle cannon from the mouth looked a bit too much like a lollipop for my liking.
Expanding my 1:24 scale collection of furniture and woven textiles.

FENIX Museum of Migration, Rotterdam — the challenge was to make a monumental spiral stair and layered galleries readable at model scale. Precision cuts and controlled translucency keep the circulation legible. JYD Model | www.jydmodel.com | @jyd.models #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
Shi Chapel by Tadao Ando — a quiet study in sloping walls, stepped terrain and a sunken court. Our model makes the circulation and fine façade grid legible from one view. JYD Model | www.jydmodel.com | @jyd.models #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
Making sure the Greenstrawberry window masks work on the 1/1400 scale Enterprise D.
This will be remasked as I continue surface work.
