New Blades 2011

On 16 June, Berry Place sponsored ‘Best Product Model’ category, for a second year at New Blades. An exhibition of graduating students work from model making university courses across the country, held every year at London’s Holborn Studios. 

It is an extremely beneficial event for model making companies and students alike, for discovering and recruiting new talent, while giving the graduates the opportunity to introduce them-selves to many facets of the industry. 

We proudly presented Alex Blackledge of the University of Hertfordshire with ‘Best Product Model’ for his very nicely finished Ferrari miniature.

The quality of finish can make or break a model, even if it is well made, and we felt Alex achieved both to a very high standard, demonstrating a skills base and materials knowledge essential in industrial product modeling.
