- Summary
- COI synopsis: A toyland world of model buildings is in fact big business for architects and designers whose plans are translated into three dimensional forms for the sake of clients at home and abroad. Michele Brown visits the workshop of one of this country’s largest modelmaking firms and learns why this seemingly childish occupation is pursued so avidly by grown men.
