PORTFOLIO OF A MODEL MAKER

FRANCE - 1960s EA/FR/0062
https://europearchive.eu/country-index/france/

Architecture is one of the very few occupations that still has a use for physical 3D scale models. Although digital renders, 3D animations and virtual reality are also replacing them in that line of work. The career opportunities for a physical, to-scale model maker are looking bleak nowadays, but in the sixties, business was booming for them. Model makers had no difficulty in finding jobs or getting assignments and were greatly admired for their dioramas and miniatures. Today, creating real life scale models is an outdated art form. Only in theme parks can miniature masterpieces like the ones in this portfolio still be found.
