Our Little WW1 Dugout, Trench & Poppy Field...Can Be Seen At Miniatura & Is Now Up For Sale!

 

Not only can our little miniature WW1 officer's dugout, trench and poppy field be seen in the third and final part of the "how to make feature" in the latest October issue of Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine which is currently out now in the shops, but.....

it will be on display in all its glory at Miniatura (Birmingham NEC) on the Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine stand, over the weekend of September 20th & 21st. And also....

Robin (my workshop colleague and co-creator of this project) and I are delighted to announce that it is now up for sale, to help raise funds for the Royal British Legion (50% of all proceeds will be donated to the charity).

 For the past 4 months, this has been on display at Thame Museum (Oxfordshire - UK) as part of the museum's WW1 Centenary Exhibition...where it has been a big hit with visitors, we understand.

But now it is time for it to find a permanent home. So, if you are interested in purchasing our unique scene, please do get in touch. More info can be found on the following page:

www.miniatureworkshops.com/WW1_Project.html

We will accept offers in the region of £250.00...however please note, due to the sheer weight and fragility of this completed project, it will have to be collected in person. If you wish to purchase it at Miniatura, it will have to remain on the magazine's stand until the end of trading on the Sunday. 

Hope someone out there can give this a good home.

Thank you

Our Very Special Miniature WW1 Scene.....At Last Revealed!

At long last I'm delighted to be able to reveal the latest commissioned project jointly undertaken with my workshop colleague and great old mate - Robin Britton, for the 

DOLLS HOUSE & MINIATURE SCENE MAGAZINE 

A First World War Officer's Derelict Dugout, Trench & Poppy Field

What a project this has been.....many hours have been spent on research for this and many more hours on actually creating it! But we are very pleased and proud of the result, on what is an emotive subject. We have endeavoured to respectively focus on the poignancy and remembrance of war.

This will be shown as a "how to make" project in the magazine, starting with the August 2014 issue and we understand it will probably run over into the September issue too....as it is a massive project! (The August issue comes out on June 26th).

As with all our WORKSHOP PROJECTS, we have used ordinary everyday materials as well as natural materials from our gardens in the creation of this....in fact you will be amazed and maybe a little surprised at some of the materials used!

So now here it is.....as a video, complete with old soldier!

 This video  is best viewed with speakers on and full screen.

In order to read the story behind this little scene and full instructions on how to make it, please see the August 2014 issue of the Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine.

We are very proud to say that this finished project will be on display in the THAME MUSEUM (Oxfordshire) as part of their WW1 Centenary Exhibition which runs from May 3rd to August 20th.
