Not quite sure where this year’s gone. It’s been the busiest I’ve known for a long time as I have been engaged on a huge project for Trent Park House of secrets, making a model of a stately home for most of the year. This will continue until Easter next year making it one of the longest projects I have worked on. Usually my small house models take me a matter of a couple of weeks and I have had to get used to quite a different way of working over the past few months. People say I must have a lot of patience to make my miniatures but in reality I think that my lack of patience is always driving me to get things finished. I long to get to the end of projects, not because I want them out of the way and on to the next thing, but that the final stages are always the most rewarding. The painting and final assembly of a piece suddenly brings it all together but you have to put in the hours of careful construction to lay the foundations, which is a slow job. I always wonder how much easier it would be to be a painter, just prime the canvas and you’re off.

Working on such a large project has meant that I have had to postpone several other models until next year. I would like to wish all my clients a very happy Christmas and thank you for your patience in waiting until I can get started on your commissions. I look forward to more exciting projects in 2026!
