03Scale & Functionality

Not every model serves the same purpose. Some are built for visual accuracy, others add mechanical features for demonstration or specialised use, so Paper Plane develops each one around the required dimensions, detailing, material properties and level of functionality.
  • 01

    Scale & Detailing

    From compact models to large format and full scale display builds, projects are scoped around the intended dimensions and application.

07Our Process

A defined process ensures that the proposed model, commercial scope and delivery expectations are aligned before manufacturing begins.
Start a Project Discussion
  1. 01

    Share Your Requirements

    Tell us the model you need, intended application, scale, dimensions, functionality, quantity and expected delivery timeline.

  2. 02

    Scope & Quotation

    We review the requirements, assess feasibility and prepare a quotation based on the proposed scope.

  3. 03

    Visualisation & Approval

    Where applicable, a 3D render or visualisation video is prepared for review. Production proceeds after the agreed design and commercial scope are approved.

  4. 04

    Manufacturing

    The model is developed using the agreed construction methods, materials, detailing and mechanical or electrical integrations.

  5. 05

    Completion & Delivery

    The completed model is handed over according to the approved specifications and agreed delivery schedule.
