    • Stonehenge Trilithon Two Stone 53 inside - south-east with 12-inch ruler. See the graffiti and bronze age axes and dagger. And the quartz veins. Speculate over the smooth interior faces of the uprights. Were they painted?

      Graffiti, daggers, axes. Shaped and polished. Repaired through the 20th century. Mathematics and conundrums. Man in the moon and other pareidolia.

    • A double page spread from Ælfric 's Grammar and Glossary, produced in Exeter in the late eleventh century

      We’ll have no clue what the builders called it, 5,000 years ago Stanenges is a Saxon word, 1,500 years old.

    • The large hol in the side of Stone 53, Trilithon Two. See the rust.

      It’s vuggy, man! Sweats, really hard, also weak and flawed. With embedded sticks, twigs, branches. Quartz veins.  They’re alive.

    • Doggerland approximately 11,650 years before present, after the last glacial period
      A quick historical overview of 10,000 years of activity at the site. Stonehenge, itself was in continual use for around 1,500 years.

    • 3D printing to cold casting
    • Stonehenge models – a byproduct
    • Whole Stonehenge?
    • The artist Steve Hooker
    • Digital fingerprint of the graffiti on Stone 53, Stonehenge

      Those layer lines give a unique, copyrightable pattern on each face of each stone.

    • Zoomed out with a matchstick for scale. The zoomed in version is at the top. Stone 54, inside, top towards the side top hole.

      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.

Built by giants

Mock up of Trilithon Two added to Stonehenge panorama

Long, long ago Merlin built Stonehenge using giants. Here is the clear photographic evidence. ‘The camera never lies.’

Not Spinal Tap

Trilithon Two, Stonehenge 76th scale rusty iron cold cast, fingers for scale on grass

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

The polished faces on the inside of Trilithon Two. 'Skinny' on the left, Stone 53 has the line of 18th Century graffiti at eyeline height, below which and central are the easily seen dagger and axe and running diagonally are the quartz veins. Who knows if the flaws in the vuggy sarsen stone were present in some way when the builders erected the stones.

The rusted patina of these models brings out the details of the working lines carved with stone mauls as well as the rotting holes caused by millennia of rain.

Prototype pix – iron

The 'nose' on 'skinny' Stone 53 is a rib from the working of the stone, it's continued at the very top (more visible in the final version - these photos are of a prototype.

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.

It is a Mailchimp list, so easy to unsubscribe. I’ve not sent anything out as yet, so, you’re not going to be swamped.

 

I’m making hyper detailed pictures first, from models of the three central trilithons, then completing the model sets, in various sizes.

The pictures are, gorgeous, they’ll grace any wall. You can literally study them with a magnifying glass.

But, also educational, the builders’ methods, the damage both ancient and modern and the mosses and lichens.

And, fun… Lots of characters to choose from, from fairies, to aliens: shamanka and witches. Not forgetting the wizard himself: Merlin. Or, not! I’m also making a plain set : -)
