Omni Models, Inc. was formed in 1980 suceeding years as a subsidiary of a major engineering firm. Initially, Omni Models was commissioned to construct scale models of coal-fired power plants. The complexity of piping associated with these plants was often resolved by fabricating scale models. During assembly of the model, problems discovered would be evaluated and resolved prior to the time the actual contractor on the job was scheduled to build the real structure. This process saved the contractors valuable time and money. Today we continue to encounter problems in all areas of design, which are resolved through effective communication and options learned from various modeling samples.

Since that time, Omni Models has concentrated on architectural, engineering and legal scale models. Our national reputation developed from a concentration of sports facility scale models that were built for high profile architectural firms located here in the Kansas City area. Omni has been selected to construct models of nationally recognized facilities such as the old and new Comiskey Park in Chicago, Madison Square Gardens in New York, and the Astro Dome in Texas. A local newspaper once wrote that 90% of the sport facilities designed in the United States are created here in the Kansas City area.

The volume of Sports facility models has been prosperous and has provided the funding needed for technology expansion. For example, electronic drawings are imported into our in house laser to cut and etch very intricate characteristics into the durable plastics from which we construct our models. In addition, we offer brass and nickel silver etching for that metallic look or when strength is needed for very small intricate parts.
