So alongside the Lloyd's Register tree, I'd been working on a model for the RSPB, for their visitor centre at their reserve on Islay. This model was so big (1.65 x 1.3m) that I had to rent further workshop space to be able to build it! Fortunately the unit next to mine was free, so pretty convenient.
The red line denoted the reserve boundary, and the area of water in the corner is a tidal loch. There's also flood plains that the RSPB manage to encourage certain species to visit. The model also has 9 LEDs to show the location of certain features - visitor centre, nature trails etc.
I was really pleased to be asked to build this model, I love the idea of making models that are for museums etc, so hopefully there's be more in the future!
In addition to these large commissions recently, there's also been a couple more MONUminies in the pipeline - these are due for release in mid-July, so keep your eyes peeled for these (our Facebook page is usually the best place to keep up with our news).
And just as I thought things were quietening down last week, I got asked to do a quick white interior model for Glasgow Science Centre. A lovely wee job, and nice to do something of a manageable size again!
