The Modeltech Story
In their fifteenth year of business and after operating in the heart of Auckland for the last eleven years Modeltech made the move north to Ruawai (near Dargaville) in 2018. The very positive live / work balance being achieved by running Modeltech from a huge 'Wo Man' shed on a small lifestyle property. With the new expanse there is ample room to stock materials and all the various machinery, get creative, and offer a very efficient and specialised service.

any technical expertise on the 3D side of the business.
