Miniature Marvels Scale Model Gallery - Free Admission by Appointment (PLEASE BOOK VIA WEBSITE)
A mental health crisis in 1997 led me to revive my childhood hobby of scale modelling and this became a passion that enriched my life thereafter. However, a 2013 Parkinson's diagnosis meant my time remaining for scale modelling was drastically reduced.
Determined that my model collection and knowledge should benefit others, I established the Miniature Marvels gallery to raise funds to research neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis, which afflicts my mother, and to promote scale modelling to all ages.
Miniature Marvels offers “The 1/72nd Scale Experience”:
• Free Admission by Appointment
• Over 440 crafted exhibits.
• Diverse periods & genres.
• Consistent scale of 6’=1” (1m=14mm).
• Enriched experience with:
- Digital engagement via smartphone & PC.
- Downloadable exhibit histories, build logs & images.
- Knowledgeable host & curator.
- New exhibits monthly.
The attached PDF provides several images and information about the gallery.
Admission is free, with donations to the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand encouraged.
Miniature Marvels opened on January 6, 2025, and has raised almsmot$1,100 to date (19-02-2025). Despite many challenges, I continue to craft models to an acceptable gallery display standard. You can read visitor feedback here:
