From the album: Primrose House (1:24 scale, tudor era)
The tudor builders faced a great hazard and that was fire. To overcome the problem they tried many technical solutions but had also a bit of superstition...they thought that a gilded salamander, which is supposed to live in fire, mounted on a wall, could help to prevent fire... This gave me the idea to have a salamander in the kitchen but I had one way only to get it..I had to carve it. Having some DAS available, I had a try: little by little, something came out...(10 mm, only a little less than half inch long)...definitely not the Pietas by Michelangelo but it can makes the role. -

Thank you all for your lovely comments, Thomas is glad to know you like his Pandulph -
I have just started my new album where to show you my work, step by step This will be the house of Thomas, an English sailor and merchant of the late Tudor era. I do not know much about Thomas, he is somehow wary with me, after all I am Italian…then a papist: he is faithful subject of Queen Elizabeth…and a strictly close to the English Church. Few things I know about Thomas: after having retired from his adventurous life, he lives alone with his dog, the faithful Pandulph; in the past Thomas knew new, wild, lands on the other side of Atlantic ocean, sunny places in the South and in the far East of the world. Now Thomas has enough money and one wish only…to spend the rest of his life quietly, enjoying the lovely meadows of his beloved Country; maybe, in the next future, he will look also for a wife but at the moment he wants an house. Well, this is my new project… a 1:24 scale half timbered house of the late Tudor era... I'll call it "primrose house"; I’ll build it from scratch starting from a plan I got, not very accurate indeed but I’ll try to modify where necessary and keep the house as much authentic as I can. Hope you'll like it
