Townscape Models

 Macclesfield Town Centre

This model was constructed at 1 : 500 scale in order to present a proposal for re-development of Macclesfield Town Centre. This was one of four schemes submitted to a competition.

Flemingate, Beverley

A masterplanning model of the Flemingate development in Beverley. Designed by the Harris Partnership of Wakefield, this mixed commercial development is to be constructed on an ex industrial site to the east of Beverley Minster.  The model is built to a scale of 1 : 400. 
There is more information about the Flemingate model including photographs and   background information on my other blog,  "Bricks". Please visit http://brickcourse.blogspot.com

A 1:200 scale model which includes part of Hulme. Modelled to present a proposed development to the planners. The model extends to include the Dental Hospital and John Rylands Library

A Model Village

In rural Northamptonshire is a small group of ex U. S. airforce housing. The homes have now been refurbished and occupied by new residents. A new village is to be developed alongside to include
community facilities such as a shop and cafe,  children's playground and provision of a local bus service.
The model finished in white was built to a scale of 1:400. This enabled the entire village to be modelled at a transportable size.
