| NTT many thanks for that excellent description of your very interesting work,it is such a pity that some of these works of art have to live outside but I guess it is all about space,your work very much reminds me of a friend who used to write for the old Meccano company,he was paid in kind because the company could not afford to pay him in real money ! however he used to go to the model building department at Binns Road,Old Swan,Liverpool and fill his car with as many redundant display models as possible,he would then dismantle them and sell the parts at a greatly reduced price to the members of the Meccano guild,he did not make a fortune just cover his costs and as a bonus had spares for himself,most of my collection of parts came from this source.
It is a bit different with your models as I would imagine they fade badly and go brittle as the oil dries out of the plastic material,I know this from experience as I have had a few 'gate guard' plastic models mounted on poles just literally fall apart with the weather.
Will have to visit Legoland and do a write up for Scale-Models sometime in the future.
