Story
The car, memory, moment or collection that matters.
Your car starts it.
Your story shapes it.
We turn the car, memory or collection that matters to you into a personal 1:64 miniature world. Choose the story, setting, suitable base and level of detail, then approve the complete proposal before any ordering or making begins.
A world built around your story
One base can develop through four clear levels.
The base is the physical structure. The build level controls how far Second Story Studio develops it. Your cars, story details and any graphics are then agreed around that combination.
Compare the levels
Choose visually
Start with the kind of automotive story you want to tell.
Choose the atmosphere closest to your idea. Second Story Studio then connects that direction to a suitable catalogue category, physical base and build level.
From idea to approved build
Story → Scene → Base → Build Level → Approval
Each decision has a clear place. The story leads, the database helps narrow the physical choices, and the complete specification is approved before work starts.
Scene
The place and atmosphere that suit it.
Base
A controlled physical starting point with one permanent Second Story Studio number.
Build Level
The agreed depth of detail and personalisation.
Approval
Contents, sourcing, timing and cost confirmed before work starts.
Current controlled catalogue
Choose by scene first, then shortlist the right structure.
The current customer selection contains 73 source-to-order bases across 10 categories. It is a choice library, not a stock list: every exact base, component set, price and delivery route is checked again before it enters a quotation.
Browse the structure library
Ten clear categories instead of one long wall of products.
These totals describe the 73 current customer-selection entries used for enquiries. None should be read as held stock.
Four build levels
The build price and the base stay separate.
Choose the depth of the build, then add the actual confirmed price of the suitable base. Delivery is confirmed separately.

Discuss this levelStart with the car you have
Your model gives the story its scale, colour and character.
Share clear views of the car or cars you want to display. Second Story Studio then checks the suitable base, available space and scene direction around them.
The guide below helps you allow for the model separately from the base and build. The exact model and current source price are agreed before anything is ordered.
All vehicles are for illustrative purposes only. No car is included.
Make it personal
The car leads. The details make the story yours.
Branding, signs, colours, accessories, figures and finishes are controlled choices. Availability, scale and compatibility are checked against the selected base.
Structures, walls & surfaces
Floors, wall finishes, shutters, doors and structural details are shortlisted from the controlled choice library to suit the selected base.
Equipment, signs & story details
Tools, workshop equipment, signs, graphics and personal references are chosen because they help tell your particular story.
Figures, lighting & activity
Figures, lighting and activity can add life where the chosen base, scale, fit and approved build level allow.
Approved customer material
Brochure, presentation and detailed catalogue.
The brochure introduces the idea. The presentation develops the story routes and four levels. The customer catalogue supports the base choice. The master database remains controlled behind the website.
Details & finishes
Figures, tools, equipment, surfaces, walls, signs, weathering and personal graphics are selected because they support the story.
Lighting & power
Capabilities shown in source imagery are checked against the exact chosen base before they enter the specification.
Written approval
Layout, contents, sourcing, cars, cost and timing are confirmed before anything is ordered or started.
