Wood burner is in & throws out more than enough heat for the whole house, the solar panels make over 50% of my electricity. Next step house battery, save the solar when I'm at work use it in the evening. With a few more bits & pieces, off grid or almost off grid looks possible.

The newest edition to the #ModelmakersGarden. A monster of a fern.

Haven't posted in a while, here's the first tweet of 2022. The sky above the #ModelmakersGarden. Have a good evening everyone.

Once an old pantry, now my new under stairs reading nook. A place to read, relax and just be. Happy with how it's turned out.

The last few days have been quite productive in the #ModelmakersGarden Tomatoes, Peppers, Strawberries, Leaks, lots of seeds under glass and Cucumbers. Let's see what the crops like later in the year.

Tidying up always has to start somewhere. It's nice to get out in the #ModelmakersGarden again.

Proudly launching the second volume of the @aubmodelmaking student journal Catalyst at #newbladesshow today. Makers are also thinkers!

We are delighted to announce that Thorp Modelmakers have now entrusted 7 models made by John Thorp himself into our care as part of the Thorp Archive here at Arts University Bournemouth | AUB. Dating between 1915 and 1938 these stunning artefacts are incredibly valuable pieces of modelmaking history.

This stunning 1927 working model of the old London Bridge waterwheel still operates. Built by John Thorp as part of his Old London series of models, it used to be coin operated.

This incredibly detailed 1938 model is of Giles Gilbert Scott's design of the plinth for William Reid Dick's sculpture of King George V in Westminster. The ornate canopy was never built after being criticised for drawing attention away from the statue itself.

I'm a maker and I love tools. Here's my latest find to add to the collection, needs a bit if a clean up but I can't wait to use this hand cranked pillar drill.

For one reason or another it's been a while, but the #Modelmakersgarden is back. A busy few hours sorting out cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries and potatoes.
