Marc,
That's not a sculpture of a roo, that's what the clever buggers came up with as part of the next gen cyborg roo population.  They're everywhere now, taking over small rural towns one at a time.  Someone must have let them borrow a copy of Terminator at some point, and it sent them hopping mad on a power trip.

Nick,
I don't think they have updated the travel guides and alerts about this small issue we have at the minute...didn't want to scare off the tourists

Not positive, but think it's, 1/700 scale, by Mauro Busoni

Coopers Tea Rooms by Yasu Okugawa ...

Really like the seeming "simplicity" of this dio design ... but I think the elegance of it suggests a fair bit of cleverness in making that simplicity work ... for example, the rounded roof on the stone portion of the building that mimics the base contour.  The lighting is an unexpected touch on a little dio like this. -- Dallas

1/10 Scale 4 1/2 Litre Blower Bentley by Francesc Pulido

Slight change of pace from the military dioramas... completely scratchbuilt by Francesc Pulido. Check out FP Models for more of his work.

since i like art in a box a lot:

miniature interiors by Charles Matton. Matton, who died in 2008 of lung cancer, built 'Boxes'' that recreated elaborate libraries, studios of classical sculptors, rooms of famous writers - even simple bathrooms. Matton and his assistant painstakingly hand-built, painted and sculpted every visible detail to 1/7 scale (ok quite a large scale, but still), from fading wallpaper to broken light sockets.

That's great stuff! I especially like his use of light and shadows, and also mirrors to create the illusion of depth.

Wow, those Charles Matton pieces are brilliant.  Just brilliant concept (and well maintained style/theme), and brilliant modelling.  One could get lost within those boxes.  Each is almost like a miniature film set.  Will be back for a few long study session!  Thanks for the link.

Cheers,
Dan

Per Olaf Lund is at it again. I love his weathering, you can just smell the damp wood.

[Scratchman]

Gordon, been following that one on the MIG forum, the overall finish is one of the finest I have seen portraying a well used machine ....... but my favourite bit of the model is the way he did the engine.

[Ray Dunakin]

Both the structure and the tractor are top-notch! What scale is the structure?

[ginosega]

Not sure about the scale of the structure Ray, but you can follow the build here: http://akinteractive.foroactivo.com/t810-a-summer-project

  Dan ,

  The work of John Tolcher is worth flying 10,000 miles to go and see . Any chance of contacting him to see if he is willing to come along to your " Little Gathering" next  year  so that we can see some of his models up close ? Maybe the odd clinic ? Having him there would certainly put your show into the next league .

   Just a thought ,
