Where Models Become Masterpieces.

At Studio Works Design, our bespoke model display bases transform precision models into captivating centerpieces. Each handcrafted base is more than a stand — it’s a stage that elevates storytelling, enhances brand identity, and honors the artistry of every train, plane, car, or ship. A well‑presented model doesn’t just impress; it sparks conversation, creates impact, and leaves a lasting impression. Whether for collectors, exhibitions, or manufacturers, our process blends craftsmanship with collaboration to ensure your models are showcased with elegance and purpose.

Handcrafted bases that transform collections into captivating displays.

1. Consultation & Design Brief

We begin with a collaborative discussion to understand your models, brand, and display requirements. Together, we define preferred styles, materials, finishes, and any branding elements to ensure the base reflects your vision. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or commissioning your very first display, we guide you step by step, making the process effortless and inspiring.

2. Concept development

Our team develops tailored design concepts, providing 2D and 3D digital sketches or mock‑ups for your review. This stage allows you to visualize how your models will be elevated and offer feedback before production begins. We refine concepts together until every detail feels right, ensuring confidence before a single cut of wood is made.

3. Customisation Options

Choose from a wide range of various hardwoods, finishes (stained, painted, natural), and features such as:

Engraved text, images and maps into wood base
Model-specific supports
Integrated lighting options

Corporate logos, exhibition themes, or collector insignias can be seamlessly integrated. Every detail is customisable to highlight the uniqueness of your collection, and bases can be designed to adapt as your collection evolves.

4. Prototyping & Approval

For larger orders, we can produce a prototype or detailed render for final sign‑off. For single or limited units, we proceed directly to production once you’re satisfied with the design. Prototypes ensure peace of mind, giving you confidence in proportions, finishes, and overall presentation before full production begins.

5. Production & Delivery

Each base is custom-made using precision machinery and meticulously hand-finished to ensure exceptional quality and consistency. Every piece is individually inspected and signed off by our artisans before leaving the studio. We coordinate worldwide shipping and provide clear assembly instructions if required, ensuring a smooth installation process. All bases are securely packaged to arrive in pristine condition, ready for display.

6. Ongoing Support & Collaboration

Our relationship doesn’t end at delivery. We offer continued support for product care and advice, and assistance with new exhibitions, special editions, or unique collector requests. As your collection grows, we’re here to evolve your displays with you, ensuring they remain timeless and striking.

We understand that our customers have invested countless hours perfecting their models, and they deserve to be displayed with the same care and artistry. That’s why we craft bespoke display bases that protect, enhance, and highlight the craftsmanship and dedication behind each creation. Your models represent passion, history, and precision — our bases ensure they’re honored accordingly.

Let’s create a display that reflects not just your model, but your story.
