The builders' marks
I’ve rendered the polished, inner face of Stone 53. (Remember that line of 17th-century graffiti is about eye-level.)
It’s in different light angles and materials, hopefully, to find the carvings more easily. Download, have fun.
To compare the sizes of the Stonehenge model full set. These are renders from the models, comp’d in Photoshop.
Of the numbered stones, the missing stones overlayed onto an aerial photograph. I have a printed copy of this handy at all times. Perhaps you’d want to bookmark this permalink for the file http://stonehen.ge/bgmap.
There are at least two types of sarsen at Stonehenge. These guys, a professor and a doctor, are going to fingerprint the debitage and the still ‘wild’ sarsens around and about south England to connect the dots.
One of the completed models I am to make is of the present view, naturally. But also two versions when it was in ‘disrepair.’
So, I thought I’d mock up a fake view of the prototype model on grass, with fingers for scale. It reminds me that, of course, Stonehenge was built by giants. Some say under the instruction of Merlin, others just to play skittles.
Cold cast in raw and unblemished iron at 76th scale, these prototype models display the extraordinary details of the carving made by the builders. See the very large and small working lines and the polished faces.
