Hooray! I have a work placement sorted!!!! I will be helping Robert, a brilliant guy who builds very detailed miniature replicas of real buildings. He calls them dollhouses... His company is called The Model Room . His small studio is near Kew gardens in the permises of Kew Bridge Steam Museum. At the moment Robert is working on a miniature of Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. I can't decide which one made me more excited; Robert's miniatures or the Steam Museum! Robert showed me around the museum and it is my absolute dream place!!!! Massive old fashioned machines everywhere! Excatly the kind of style I wanted to create on my final project. So I have a double reason to be happy about my work placement. First of all I will learn all sorts of model making skills from Robert and secondly I get lots and lots of first hand inspiration and research material from Steam Museum! My London summer is going to be ace!
This film shows one of the massive engines in the Steam Museum in action. This engine used to pump up water from Thames to Londoners. It is bloody impressive machine and I can't wait to see it in action!
