- Graffiti, daggers, axes. Shaped and polished. Repaired through the 20th century. Mathematics and conundrums. Man in the moon and other pareidolia.
- We’ll have no clue what the builders called it, 5,000 years ago Stanenges is a Saxon word, 1,500 years old.
- It’s vuggy, man! Sweats, really hard, also weak and flawed. With embedded sticks, twigs, branches. Quartz veins. They’re alive.
- A quick historical overview of 10,000 years of activity at the site. Stonehenge, itself was in continual use for around 1,500 years.
Production notes
- Digital fingerprint
- 3D printing to cold casting
- Stonehenge models – a byproduct
- Whole Stonehenge?
- The artist Steve Hooker
- Those layer lines give a unique, copyrightable pattern on each face of each stone.
- From 3D printing at an insane 5µ layer height to cold casting and making the patinas.
- I painted myself into a Shropshire corner. So I thought I’d do pictures of Stonehenge… Everybody knows where that is…
- Released in parts beginning with Trilithon Two, then T4, T1…
  
  And we’re really going to have fun with the baseplates and all the other add-ons that will become available.
- From selling pictures of witches, fairies, ghosts and giants… Famous throughout Shropshire.

T2 in Germany and my versions

A museum in Germany is making a decent, life-sized, model of #Stonehenge Trilithon Two. Found via @Clonehenge. An opportunity for me to show off my models. In rust for detail and damp winter garb for colour.
