Stonehenge for the garden
76th renders
4K zoom into T2
Stone 53 axe and dagger carvings
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.
76 and 35th scale models of Stonehenge
To compare the sizes of the Stonehenge model full set. These are renders from the models, comp’d in Photoshop.
- 76th scale model miniature is 8.3cm or 3.3 inches high (T2) x 59cm or 23.2 inches in diameter.
- 35th scale model replica is 18cm or 7 inches high (T2) x 128cm or 50.4 inches in diameter.
- The real thing is 632cm or 20 feet 8 inches high (T2) x 4480cm or 147 feet in diameter – around 10% further out than the outer stone circle to contain the fallen stones, too.
Built by giants
Not Spinal Tap
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.
Prototype pix – rusted
Prototype pix – iron
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.
Some recent prints
Posted to the Facebook user group for my 3d printer Wanhao Duplicator 7. For them to “oh” and “ah” over. Most print games figures at around 50µ with faster curing resin.
