Scale Models | Log Homes & Timber Frames

Ever wondered what your customers' log home or timber frame home project would actually look like before it was built? Now you can with a physical scale model available from Valley Log & Timber. These scale models are of great value for visualization purposes, sales and marketing tools or even a keepsake gift for your log home or timber frame home clients.

There are many different CAD packages out there that can produce 3D renderings of a clients’ project but only a few can supply an actual 3D physical scale model of the project. It’s a scale model you can hold in your hand, not just a pretty picture. They say a “picture is worth a thousand words” but a scale model is worth a thousand pictures. Several options are available:

• One-Piece Models - Sizes range from 5”x 7”x 3” high to 10”x 14”x 8” high as one-piece models.
• Multi-Piece Models
• Cut-away Model - These scale models offer you the flexibility of removing the roof and 2nd floor for viewing interior details such as floor joists or roof trusses.

These log home & timber frame scale models are highly detailed to fit your requirements. They are produced from a 3D CAD solid model, not a surface model utilizing the technology of “rapid prototyping”. The models are typically “monochrome”, but can be made as a full color model. The monochrome models are exceptionally valuable for focusing on details and shadow lines versus color schemes.

Prices start at $275.00 for the scale model of your log home or timber frame home plus any 3D CAD drawing performed usually averaging around an additional $400.00.

Since these models are highly detailed, visualizing textures like brickwork, stonework and even standing-seam metal roofing are easily felt by your finger. Something you cannot do with a 3D CAD rendered model.

Ready to get started? All that is needed is floor plans, elevations and your homes' standards. For example, for a log home scale model standards information would include log styles, log corners, rectangular or round joists and rafters.
