Another home is ready to be shipped out.
This Georgian style manor house is in the middle of the country, multiple pitched roofs, and ivy, adding to its charm.
Alot of hard work involved, if you would like to enquire about commisions by DMs are open.

End of an era...
Northern Ireland’s best-known newsagent has been gifted a hyper-realistic model of his iconic Ballymena shop ahead of his retirement.
Press photographers have honoured Eugene Diamond, who has run his shop on Broughshane Street for almost half a century.
The brilliant 3D miniature model was produced by artist Nathan Wheeler.

From this mornings @IrishNews the story of the beautiful piece of art and sculpture I was presented with yesterday I thank the press photographers and @craftynathan for such a wonderful surprise …… ❤️

Newsagent Eugene Diamond was “lost for words” after being presented with a hyper realistic 3D miniature model of his well-known Ballymena shopfront, in recognition of his long association with the press.
Eugene announced last year he was selling his Broughshane Road shop and retiring from the trade after four-and-a-half decades.

And richly deserved Eugene. For a long time you have been my first port of call to find out what’s dominating the newspaper headlines. What a fabulous way by the photographers of saying thank you for posting the papers every day and also for thriving in a difficult market.

So well deserved!

After 47 years of making the headlines, you’re finally becoming one.

I was lost for words this morning when some of the best known press photographers from around Ireland arrived at the shop They had commissioned this work of art and design for me as a thank you for my early morning posting of the newspaper front pages I’m honestly humbled 🙏
The inside of an old Irish Bar from the 80s.
Nature is reclaiming it, another little piece of derelict Ireland.

A small step into #DerelictIreland – I’m working on a miniature inspired by an abandoned pub, using reference shots kindly shared by Irish #urbanexplorers.

#DerelictIreland started by @judesherry and @frank_oconnor has grown to a National #Grassroots movement and encompasses many facets. Artist @craftynathan tiny models sends out powerful messages about the waste and decay that is ongoing in Irish Society.

Tiny models, massive truths. 🎨 Nathan Wheeler’s hyper-realistic miniatures of dereliction & decay spark conversations about Ireland’s problems we’d rather ignore. “Small models, huge questions.”

My father-in-law walked away from this. Unharmed.
Driving 50km/h a tree fell on the Car.
I am not a religious man, but I can spot dumb luck/miracle when I see one.
Christmas is still on 🌲

The last derelict project I will work on for 2023.
This is the infamous Grand Canal Docks sign all lit up.
Pity the sign has been abandoned.

Something a little bit more light-hearted, the Muppets Christmas Carol, Diorama I just finished.
This took too many hours to count !

Building bricks has to be one of my greatest passions.
Each row takes an age with multiple coats of paint.

I made a Christmas ornament for myself this year. If you haven't read 'A Christmas Carol', it's a story about how greed can take over our lives and lead us astray.
It's a sombre tale that has less to do with Christmas and more to do with our fallibility.

Bowed out windows, junction boxes, and tiny flag holders.
A little piece of a famous Dublin shop in the city centre.
Any guesses ?
