Garland isn’t a professionally trained architect or model maker, so she’s developed her own system for replicating these well-known facades.
She uses Google Earth to get a 3D view of buildings, then figures out the scale of each element. “You can literally measure your screen and count windows to work out how big everything is,” she explains. “It’s an absolute dream.”
The technique is particularly helpful for capturing an areal view, she adds, because that’s rarely shown in photos, but is vital to a realistic replica.
The next step is creating paper templates for each section, which she uses when cutting the final biscuits. The process can take days or weeks, depending on the size and detail of the build.
