Our Expertise in Industrial Scale Models

Design and manufacture of custom professional models

The quality of an industrial model is measured in the details: accurate proportions, intricate parts, realistic colors, precise markings, and the quality of the final presentation.

At Promodels, every project benefits from expertise that combines craftsmanship, digital design, and the selection of the most suitable materials. This expertise allows us to produce both one-of-a-kind pieces and small-batch custom models, all with a consistent level of finish.

Our creations are designed for manufacturers, defense contractors, marketing and sales departments, as well as institutions seeking to present, explain, or showcase their products.

Promodels quality down to the finest details

High-end model of the Leclerc XLR Scorpion tank with cage armor and photo-etched metal parts

We may not work in Bourges, but we make metal gun barrels too—because every detail counts, even in miniature!

We select techniques and materials based on the model, its scale, and its intended use. Resin, machined metal, photo-etched parts, rubber tires, transparent windows, and high-definition decals can be combined to faithfully reproduce the characteristics of the original product. Our goal is not simply to produce a promotional item, but to create a truly high-end representation of our client’s product and brand image.

Promodels produces custom models in small and medium runs for product launches, trade shows, sales presentations, delegations, and marketing campaigns. Colors, markings, logos, registration numbers, configurations, bases, plaques, and packaging can be customized for each program or recipient. A single model can also be produced in multiple versions to represent different variants of a vehicle or piece of equipment.

A promotional model that extends the reach of your marketing efforts

Giving a high-end display model to a client, prospect, or partner allows you to showcase your expertise and build a lasting connection with your company.

Whether displayed on a desk, in a meeting room, or in a showcase, it continues to showcase your product and brand long after the sales meeting has ended.

It becomes a true silent ambassador, visible without the need for a representative to be present.

Promodels can customize the model, its base, its plaque, and its packaging to create a corporate gift that aligns with your company’s identity.

A presentation that reflects the value of your product

A high-end model deserves a presentation that matches the quality of the product it represents. We can provide custom display stands, nameplates, display cases, boxes, and packaging featuring your company’s colors.

The Promodels series of Griffon VOA (Artillery Observation Vehicle) models, produced at a 1/48 scale for the DGA at Thales’s request, illustrates this approach: each model features meticulous presentation and custom packaging, tailored to the image of the companies and institutions involved.

The presentation is tailored to the intended use: permanent exhibition, transport to a trade show, presentation to a delegation, VIP gift, or individual shipment to a client or prospect.
