Ancient Egyptian ruins

This weeks blog is about some of the Ancient Egyptian models I have made.

First up is the Younger Memnon statue ruin.

I made this model a few years back now and it depicts the famous Younger Memnon statue half buried in the sand awaiting excavation. It is a statue of Ramases II, also made famous by the poem Ozymandias by Shelly. In later life the real statue had a small hole made in its chest by Napoleon's men who tried and failed to move it - but this model is made without the hole. You can add it if you wish! Later, John Baptist Belzoni managed to excavate the statue and ship it to the British Museum where it resides to this day. You can read Belzoni's account of moving the statue and his travels here and also listen to a BBC show about the Younger Memnon as part of Radio 4's History in 100 Objects series. The Hieroglyphics on the back of the statue are accurate. This model can be found on Shapeways, my ebay page or my Yeoman Models page. Also, one of my Younger Memnon statues ended up in a diorama at the University Museum at San Francisco State University :)

I have also made the Younger Memnon as it is today with a hole in the chest and you can see him on Shapeways.

I now see that a 3D scan of the statue is now on Thingiverse, but my model has elements that have been shaped to show off the detail better at the 28/32mm scale

Also, some new items of ancient Egypt are for sale. A 28/32mm scale column ruin that measures 5cm high (so is ideal for your 28mm scale explorer to hide behind) and a wall carving both of which are covered in hieroglyphics and Ancient Egyptian imagery.

Hot and Cold miniatures

Hello everybody,
This is just a little update of some new models for I have for sale and some great model work that people have been doing!

Lets build a snowman!

As it's winter and Christmas is on the way, I made a little 28mm scale Snowman miniature!

The little cold chap is available from eBay here-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121223406142?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

He comes as a body, textured base and two metal arms.

My name is Ozymandias!

From slightly warmer climes we have Ozymandias (also known as Ramesses II or Younger Memnon) statue ruin at 28mm scale. and also a 28mm scale Easter Island head!

Ozymandias is a solid hand cast resin miniature of the famous Younger Memnon (Ramesses II) statue as seen in the British Museum and made famous by Shelley's poem Ozymandias.

The statue is depicted half buried in the sand awaiting excavation. In later life the real statue had a small hole made in its chest but this model is made with out the hole. You can add it if you wish! The Hieroglyphics on the back of the statue are accurate.

The Easter Island head or Moai is also hand cast solid resin and its size is based on a typical Easter Island head. It's quite big!

I'm in the middle of painting both at the moment and photos of them should be on the blog in the following weeks.

Clever Boy!

Mike from The States has painted up one of the HO scale Police boxes for his new Train Layout and you can see more photos and follow his progress as he builds and develops his layout on his great Facebook page www.facebook.com/CentervilleHO

On the subject of Police Boxes, the new Half blue half transparent Police Boxes at 28mm scale (a companion piece to the solid blue Police Boxes) keep selling out but we should have some more in by the end of the week - so if you do want one, keep your eyes peeled on eBay tomorrow/Friday morning.

We are also making some fully transparent Police Boxes too and they should be on eBay at the same time.
