London based Capital Models was founded in 1994 and is run by husband and wife team, Robert and Marcia Danton-Rees.

Over the years, this family run business has gained the reputation of being one of the most talented model making companies within the industry.

At Capital, passion, dedication and honesty, lies at our heart and this is clearly evident within our long established workforce and the strong relationships we’ve formed with our clients.

Many of our clients are amongst the UK’s leading architects, property developers and designers and have been with us since the beginning.

We’re a highly skilled team who simply love what we do and this shows in the care and attention we give to capture the essence of every project that comes through the door. We love helping clients and always go that extra mile to make ideas happen.

Because of the way we work and train together, there is a natural cross fertilisation of skills and techniques. This allows us greater scope of interpretation, making it easy to work to clients’ in-house styles, branding and finishes.
