32 Abstracts. I have a thought for these, which is in part to do more of them…. my idea is too accumulate 144 and publish in an ebook called “144 Abstracts” I’d be interested to hear people’s thoughts on the idea, and the abstracts so far.

Though I’m still working (from home), isolation has left me with a little more time on my hands than is normally the case. I decided to invest a little of that time in getting back into active modelling- though I’ve precious little in the way of materials on hand.
Hence, after some reflection, I set to with my computer and drawing software to try and develop the artwork for a simple card kit. I’ve taken a somewhat traditional approach, inspired by the card kits of my early modelling days:- Bilteezi, Superquick, Builder Plus and Prototype. Thus, you’ll find brick textures that resemble those from Builder Plus, roll up chimney pots like Superquick, and drawn (not cutout) windows like Bilteezi.
I’m quite pleased with the look of the result. However, I’ve neither card nor access for a colour printer for the moment to test it out. Thus, I’m sharing the result on here with an invitation for anyone interested to download a copy (I suggest downloading the pdf: https://greater-albion.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/goods-office-no-background.pdf), print it and assemble it. Would love to receive any feedback and perhaps the odd photo of any results.

One of two typeface designs inspired by the hand lettering on a set of 19th century engineering drawings. These projects have been on the go a long time, alongside others. Just finished today!
“Peacocks in Paradise” My latest experiment in drawing a repeating pattern…
I’ve been experimenting with anthropomorphic animal characters lately. This is the latest, “The Trustworthy Guardian”, an Olde English Sheepdog as a Yeoman Warder of the Tower. Doing that uniform was great fun!
A different sort of repeating pattern
Another exercise in seamless repeating patters… or the never-ending town… or Paul gets inspired by M C Escher! Perhaps we should call it Castrovalva?
Study Late night tinkering on the modern ‘Etch-a-sketch’… aka the iPad Pro. Study in symmetry and selective asymmetry…
