Welcome to MiniCityArt!
Join us in on our summer launch!
Our goal is simple: We bring you the most accurate, three-dimensional miniature models of the world. We've been developing these techniques for over a decade: reading, testing, fixing, and learning, and are finally ready to reveal the products of this long effort. Every MiniCity is crafted in Boston (in my living room right now) with the utmost care by hand and with professional 3D printers, the goal of which is to create miniatures so realistic and beautiful that you can't stop exploring them.
MiniCityArt was destined…
Thinking back, it appears that starting MiniCityArt was inevitable. As a young kid, I fell in love with math, then physics, then a few years later, found computer programming and combined the three. Ten years later in college, I found out that that combination could actually be a career. Throw in some landscape photography, a little bit of creative computing, table-top wargaming, and seeing my first 3D printer, and in 2013 TinyMtn was born. Now we have over 900 different 3D printable models of mountains, canyons, ski resorts, and landscapes from around the world. But I'd always loved architecture and buildings, and having moved into downtown Boston recently, I now more appreciate the chaos and complexity of a modern city. With this background and interest, I can now bring your downtown into your living room or office, in vivid miniature detail, and at reasonable cost.
We are unique, here’s why
What makes our city prints different? A few things: we use much more detailed and comprehensive data than everyone else, we've been developing methods for processing this complex data for years, we have over a decade of engineering and technical knowledge and experience with 3D modeling and printing, and we bring an artist's sensibility to all of our work. When you buy a MiniCity, you'll get a 3D print with more than just buildings - you'll get every train, tower, tree, bus, and bridge, you'll even see cars, sculptures, and shrubs! This is important, because we believe that a city is more than just a skyline - it's a history, it's people and decisions, it's the intertwining of millions of life stories manifested in concrete and brick and glass. You'll see, *feel* really, the shapes, the texture, and the chaos of urban life. Your city, in your hands.
MiniCityArt summer launch
We are soft-launching today with remarkably-detailed models of six major downtowns: Boston, Detroit, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver, each in three different sizes: 8", 12", and hyper-detailed 24". In the next two months, we will expand our library of available locations, fine-tune our products, and build a business which is open, fun, and responsive to you. Until then, you can see MiniCityArt models in person on Wednesday, July 3, 1-4pm, at Crosspoint Plaza (46 Thomson St, Boston, in front of Trillium), sponsored by Friends of Fort Point Channel, or by special request.
