- It’s vuggy, man! Sweats, really hard, also weak and flawed. With embedded sticks, twigs, branches. Quartz veins. They’re alive.
- A quick historical overview of 10,000 years of activity at the site. Stonehenge, itself was in continual use for around 1,500 years.
Production notes
- Digital fingerprint
- 3D printing to cold casting
- Stonehenge models – a byproduct
- Whole Stonehenge?
- The artist Steve Hooker
- Those layer lines give a unique, copyrightable pattern on each face of each stone.
- From 3D printing at an insane 5µ layer height to cold casting and making the patinas.
- I painted myself into a Shropshire corner. So I thought I’d do pictures of Stonehenge… Everybody knows where that is…
- Released in parts beginning with Trilithon Two, then T4, T1…
  
  And we’re really going to have fun with the baseplates and all the other add-ons that will become available.
- From selling pictures of witches, fairies, ghosts and giants… Famous throughout Shropshire.

The erratic that sunk the Titanic

Recently, tenacious Brian John, researched this bluestone found on a beach by Phil Holden, a photographer, in Mumbles, near Swansea, South Wales. It is just one of several that make up a breadcrumb trail of the ice floes from the west of Wales, North Wales, even Scotland. Which, probably, reached as far or even further than the nascent site of Stonehenge.

Measuring 2.2m x 1.3m x 1m and weighing at least 7 tonnes. Smoothed by thousands of years of sea erosion.

Getting close to going live

Nearly looking perfect, next is to revisit the css responsive break-points so it looks good on mobiles.

And some more writing, but at least I’ve grappled the widgets into the right pages.

And the rubber man arrived today. More silicone and I’ll have the casts lining up for the vinegar dips, get that rust looking good.
