This month sees the beginning of a project which is expected to take a little under a year to complete. I have beed commissioned by a brand new museum, Trent Park, House of Secrets to design and build a centrepiece exhibit for their collection.

The museum celebrates the work of the early days of the British Secret Service during World War II. The story of a large and notable manor house on the outskirts of North London and its role as a prisoner of war camp for high ranking German officers will be re-told with the opening of a new and exciting museum at the house

The museum has asked me to make a model of the stately home where the Germans were housed in great comfort, but where their conversions were secretly bugged and listened to by British secret service operatives, who were mostly Jewish immigrants. My model will show a cross section through the house with the secret listeners in the basement. A unique project incorporating historic reconstruction, architectural model making, creating lifelike miniature figures in military uniforms, and even making some period vehicles, including a 1930s bus! I can’t wait to get started, and in the next few months I will be posting regular progress reports! You can learn more about this fascinating new museum at Trent Park House of Secrets

Any Building Anywhere

It is possible to create a model house portrait of any type of building, from town house to country estate, from shop or pub to Listed building. Without a site visit this makes the ultimate in surprise gifts! The service is not limited to the UK, and commissions are welcome from anywhere in the world! Please email me a single photo of your house, and let me know the rough location, and I will provide you with an estimate, or give me a call for more information. There are  more details about ‘small projects’ here.
