Thought peeps might like to see the cutaway models we showed at Stanford Hall.

They attracted a lot of interest from the visitors, pyros and general public.

Something like them will end up at the Amberley Museum.

The cylinder stars are bits of wood dowel, the ball stars are aniseed balls dipped in pva and rolled in charcoal! lol

(the large grain powder is arborio rice mixed with pva and lampblack)
