Anyway, since getting home I've continued to enjoy myself with making a model of our new house, from the architect's plans. It's been tricky in places! Mainly, I think, because the plans have been printed and reprinted on different printers, with the result that not all the sheets are to exactly the same scale. Although technically the plans are 1:100 at A3 size, variations in printing mean that they're not all the same, which has made resolving the design of the roof particularly difficult. Luckily I'm enjoying the challenge and here are some working photos from this morning.
This is the main house, without internal walls
The blockiness of the unfinished model is great!
I've finished the office - studio building; this is from the front
An aerial view; I made models of all the BIG bits of furniture to scale, too

What an exciting thing to be involved in Sara although of course it will be (most probably IS) a lot of hard work. You will both have to take care and not OVERDO it and compromise your good health.
But then being a printmaker you probably know about this with being a printmaker and forever having to tackle all kinds of technical quandries. Which I get the impression - you are quite good at. Unlike myself, thats probably why I find the technical side of printmaking such a struggle because I'm not very good at technical things.
But anyway that model looks good and I like that you even made the little large furniture items to scale too !! How dinky.....
Wow! I had no idea you had this in the works. I can hardly wait to watch the progress on this.
