Who we are

About Ed Sams Model Making
After the closure of the renowned John Wright Model Making, long-time specialist Ed Sams established Ed Sams Model Making, bringing with him a wealth of experience and passion for precision craftsmanship.

Based just on the outskirts of Bristol, the company operates from its own fully equipped workshop, outfitted with all the essential tools and technology needed to deliver a wide range of projects—from intricate and bespoke armatures to ball and socket joints.

With over 25 years of personal experience, and a combined team experience of 50+ years, Ed and his team are committed to maintaining the highest standards in model making and armature building. Every project we take on is executed with expert precision, creative problem-solving, and a meticulous eye for detail. At Ed Sams Model Making, we don’t just meet expectations—we exceed them.
