Top 8 accessories that make an architectural model look more realistic
A well-built model cannot be complete without a few accessories, which render it more authentic and clearer. Any model, no matter how well it is made, will need a final touch, to get as close as possible to the future construction or to be similar to the house you have.
There are dozens of ways in which you can give realism to your architectural model, as you can add animals, cars, people and boats, if the future location allows this.
1. Light poles
A few light poles placed on the roads or in the park in the project can provide a pleasant atmosphere and attract everyone’s attention. Indeed, they can light up whenever you want; especially in the evening it will be a dream to look at it in the light.
2. Animals
Do you have a model that has as its theme a farm or a project in the agricultural industry? Perfect. Some animals will be able to find their place in the project and will offer the experience of a real farm.
3. Loofah trees
The loofah is a vegetable sponge, often found in various decorative objects or for the accessories of architectural models. Trees and fir trees can be created to give the appearance of a winter, as natural as possible. You can enrich the project with these elements, especially when we are talking about a winter landscape.
4. Trucks
Mini trucks, whether they are toys or not, are special and just like the other items, you can place them strategically on your plan. They are made of plastic and are available at a scale in several sizes: 1:100, 1:150, 1:200, 1:300, 1:500.
5. Trees
They can also be made of loofah, to have that snowy winter or green look. They can be globular or long, in order to diversify as much as possible the varieties of trees in the project. They can be placed near the road, in yards or in parks around residential complexes.
6. Grass powder
Green space is necessary in any project, less so if your project has winter tendencies. Whether we are talking about a residential complex, a neighborhood of villas or even your own home, half of the model will be green. Thanks to the grass-look powder, you will be able to successfully complete this large part of your project.
7. Playground for children
It is exactly as you read. A real park set up for children, but in miniature, to express to customers in the best way possible what you will be able to offer them, when they purchase their new home. You can add elements such as a swing or a toboggan, exactly as they are in the parks and are made at a scale of 1:75 – 1:100 and 1:100 – 1:200.
8. Pergolas
Pergolas are beautiful and bring a touch of style and modernism to any project. They can be used as bus stops or to cover the terrace of a house. In a residential complex they can be added above a bench or at the entrance of a block. Pergolas are generally very beautiful and can be installed everywhere, making any place look more elegant.
As you have so many possibilities to bring your architectural model to life, it would be a pity not to use some of the elements listed above. Imagination is the key point in this beautiful experience that can bring you joy, but also a great income if you create a project for real estate fairs.
You don’t even need to exaggerate, in order not to load the space too much and to be able to highlight the construction in the best way possible. Once you have decided on how many elements you need, you will only have to place them in the predetermined places and complete the project, making it ready to be exhibited and speak for itself.
