Your one stop shop for miniature scale model parts and supplies!

Microform Models Inc.

About Us

At Microform Models, we use tin-based alloys to create miniature, exact scale model parts for Scale Model Builders, Architects, Engineers, Architectural Students and Interior & Set Designers. We offer our products in 20 different scales to suit your individual needs. We are always expanding our product line of scale model parts, so if you don't see what you need . . . please, just ask! Our metal model parts are more durable and easily paintable when compared to plastic, cardboard, wooden or 3D printed model parts. Our tree armatures are not intended to be in any one scale; a tree which is 10 feet tall in 1/4" = 1.0' would be 20 feet tall in 1/8" = 1.0'. All tree armatures are made of a malleable alloy, which can easily be bent into any desired shape. It will also hold that shape permanently unless reconfigured.
