Ancient architectural models used for collection or gift giving

The entire process of factory production of ancient architectural gift models

The factory production of ancient architectural gift models needs to take into account standardized production, precision craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. The following is a breakdown of the factory level production logic from the aspects of "design and development, material preparation, core craftsmanship, quality control, packaging and transportation":

1、 Design and Development: Cultural Tracing and Drawing Finalization

Drawing drawing: use CAD or hand drawing tools to draw elevation, section and component decomposition drawings, mark dimensions (such as roof slope 1:2.5, arch of wooden architecture scale 1:3), materials (solid wood/paper/acrylic), colors (traditional color matching such as vermilion, gilding, and black tile), and develop a "process flow sheet" to guide production.

2、 Preparation of materials and tools

Materials: Solid wood (camphor wood, nanmu, etc., anti-corrosion and crack prevention), cardboard (thick cardboard), acrylic board, hot melt adhesive, woodworking adhesive, pigments (Chinese painting pigments/acrylic pigments), gold foil paper.

Tools: woodworking saw, file, sandpaper, carving knife, ruler, compass, drill, hot melt glue gun, brush.

3、 Core Process: Layered Assembly and Detail Carving

1. Base and pedestal

Use solid wood/cardboard to make a multi-layer base (as shown in the "Dian Zhong San" base in the picture), cut each layer into a "trapezoidal+stepped" structure, polish smooth, and bond to ensure overall stability.

2. Roofs and eaves

Double eave structure: Cut solid wood/cardboard in proportion, bond multiple layers of roofs with hot melt adhesive, and polish the edges of each layer into "flying eaves and upturned corners" (refer to the roof curve in the picture), simulating the agility of ancient architecture's "wing corners soaring in the sky".

Tile details: Cut "small tiles" from cardboard, arrange and paste them on the roof, or carve tile textures with acrylic sheets to restore the texture of ancient architecture's "rows and columns".

3. arch of wooden architecture and beam frame

Decomposition of arch of wooden architecture: Disassemble the arch of wooden architecture into small components such as "Dou, Gong, Ang", carve with solid wood/cardboard, bond after polishing, and simulate the dual function of "bearing+decoration" of ancient buildings.

Beam frame construction: use solid wood bars to build the "column, beam, beam" frame, and accurately connect with the arch of wooden architecture and roof to ensure structural stability.

4. Doors, windows, and railings

Door and window design: Cut cardboard/acrylic board, carve "grid window, grid door" texture, paste it on the wall, and restore the spatial logic of "transparency and enclosure" in ancient architecture.

Handrail carving: use solid wood strips/cardboard to make "watch posts, look for sticks, and floor tie-beam" (refer to the shape of the railing in the figure), and paste it on the edge of the abutment to enhance the sense of hierarchy.

4、 Painting and Decoration: Visual Expression of Cultural Symbols

Base color treatment: use wood glue+pigment to blend, evenly brush the base, beam frame, arch of wooden architecture and other parts, dry and polish them to form a "vermilion base".

Pattern drawing: Use a brush to draw traditional patterns such as "cloud patterns, loop patterns, and entwined lotus flowers", or apply gold foil (as shown in the picture with a gilded feel) to highlight the "luxury and solemnity" of ancient architecture.

Detail embellishment: paste "glazed tiles, bronze bells" (small decorative pieces) at cornices and arch of wooden architecture to simulate the artistic conception of "wind and rain bell ringing" of ancient buildings.

5、 Quality Control: Standardization and Detail Control

Process standards: establish process standards such as "arch of wooden architecture splicing error ≤ 1mm, cornice camber ± 5 °", and the quality inspector shall conduct acceptance step by step.

Finished product testing: Simulate scenarios such as transportation vibration and display collision to test stability, ensuring that the structure is not loose and the paintings are not detached.

6、 Packaging and Transportation: Extending Cultural Value

Packaging design: Customized wooden/acrylic box lined with velvet, labeled with "ancient building name, proportion, and process description" to enhance the cultural value of the gift.
