Sadly poserdirect will be still be closing down around the 19th of October 2018. But I would like to say thanks to everyone who's "donated" at the site so far, your input has managed to help achieve something amazing.

A model building workshop for nearly 20 Outsider Artists, held in the East Wing of a 500 year old Cathedral (red area on 1st image). Outsider Artists are artists, who for various reasons, such as health or wealth, encounter barriers to entering the mainstream art world.

While the workshop was organised by Pallant House Gallery and Chichester Cathedral, who asked me to lead. Your "donations" did directly allow me to design, develop and prepare some 3d designed stuff for the workshop.

In particular two card models:

A "Make your own Cathedral" kit. Designed using Carrra 5, This has pre-cut parts to assist those with hand mobility issues. Optional parts. Also designed to allow participants to learn some new artistic techniques, such applying scenics.

One model based on a medieval building in the Cathedral precient (blue area on 1st image). Also designed and created supporting material. Such as: custom made brick paper for those wished to "freehand" their own creations. Instructions. A revised version of the model making handbook that's available in my sites freebies. Plus an overview to how 3d models to paper models are made.

Work is now starting for another workshop for February: Gargoyles & Grotesques. Base heads are partly made in sculptris and sliced with Autocad's 360. Prints are stuck on cardboard box card, cut out with a lithum powered hand cutter, before tinfoil is hot glued on. On the day the participants will apply air-dry clay, and other bits, before applying paint washes and sponged on paint to age their models.

Hence thank you and please don't forget there’s still roughly a week left, so please grab any freebies, etc that you want now.

Those cardboard building kits look amazing! You could probably sell them to railway modellers.

Thanks for all the wonderful stuff you've created, and good luck with your new endeavors.
