Lockwood's Jurassic Park Model was a 1:60th scale model of the Main Compound of Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. It belonged to Benjamin Lockwood and was kept in his bedroom at the Lockwood Estate.
History
At some point after the inception of Jurassic Park, Benjamin Lockwood had a model commissioned of the Main Compound on Isla Nublar.
The Isla Nublar Crisis
In 2018, an ailing Lockwood had the model placed in his bedroom at the Lockwood Estate where he could view it from his bed. During the Isla Nublar Crisis, whilst Lockwood's foundation was mounting an expedition to Isla Nublar to rescue the dinosaurs endangered by Mt. Sibo's imminent eruption, Lockwood was visited by his granddaughter, Maisie Lockwood who asked if her mother had ever visited Jurassic Park, indicating the model. He told her that she had, long ago and that just like Maisie, she would have saved the dinosaurs.

Production Notes
Lockwood's Jurassic Park Model has only appeared in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Pre-Production
The model was originally designed as square but was eventually cutdown on the park side of the perimeter fence to allow more room on set. In early drafts of the film it was also located in the library before being moved to Lockwood's bedroom. In the early concept phases, 3D models found online were used as stand-ins, however for the final model original set blueprints from Jurassic Park were used on several aspects. The finished models were then 3D printed and painted by the art team. Renate Nicolaisen was one of the artists to work on the finished model.

Trivia & Goofs
- Despite being present on this model, Ankylosaurus and Apatosaurus were not planned to be exhibited at Jurassic Park prior to its abandonment.
- The scale Jeeps used on the model have full doors, whereas the Jeeps at Jurassic Park had half doors.
- Earlier drafts of Jurassic Park contained a similar model that John Hammond would have revealed to his consulting experts. He would also meet his demise at the hands of a Velociraptor on top of it.
