About Sheffield Miniatures

​

Sheffield Miniatures was established in 2016. I have slowly developed the business and now stock small independent local shops, display my miniatures in local pubs, cafes and other businesses.  

​

I create bespoke miniatures of a wide variety of buildings and landscapes. I liaise with my clients regarding creating bespoke miniatures in a scale to suit their needs and preferences. 

​

I use a variety of materials such as wood, clay, plastic and metals to create detailed miniatures, typically of buildings.

​

Popular display options for the miniatures are box frames (which can be displayed easily at home) and perspex display cubes (which offer more detail).

​

My most popular commissions are pubs, shops and private homes. Often the commissions I receive are for gifts for special occasions, for example, wedding, anniversary, birthday or retirement gifts of special or memorable places. I am sensitive to the requirements of the customer and I appreciate the unique sentimental value my work often creates for customers (or the recipient of the gift). 

I can generally work from good photos of the buildings which means I can usually build a miniature of a building without having to visit it in person. I have created bespoke miniatures of buildings from all over the UK and also further afield, including New Zealand and Canada.

I carefully co-design the miniatures with customers and liaise closely with customers regarding their preferences for packaging and delivery, doing all I can to ensure your item arrives in one piece!

​

I have recently completed commissions for museum displays and for a media company filming campaign.  

​

As I am also an electronics engineer, I am happy to add details such as lighting,  flowing water and mechanical movement if required and if it is feasible. Lighting also adds another level of realism and detail to a miniature. 

​

Unique miniature commissions I have recently completed include, a cherished family narrow-boat, a fairground ride, an RAF patrol boat, Allotments, an arborist work site and a fully working miniature of a grinding workshop called Shepherd wheel. 

​

I am passionate about making my miniatures as realistic as possible and taking time to focus on the details in order to get the best results for my customers. 

​

Please also be aware that all my miniatures are made to order and it does take a while for me to get them completed.
