Modelmaking companies - The glue factory

As part of my research I have looked briefly into modelmaking companies that are of interest to me and that are connected to the disciplines I have chosen for the projects.
I have looked at museum models and also at display and advertising models.

The glue factory is a company that specialises in a number of different fields including film, advertising, props,some architecture and exhibits, but is probably best known for its museum models and interactive's.

The project at the end of this link is a cast of some Roman skeletons which were done in order that visitors to the museum could handle them and interact with the objects first hand.
My own museum model design works along these lines. Although it isnt mechanically or electronically interactive, my model requires hands on manipulation by the visitor to explore the model and discover the information they want.

Also due to its relatively small size it could be transported easily and used as a teaching aid.
