"These chess pieces form a remarkable group of iconic objects within the world collection of the British Museum. They were probably made in Trondheim, Norway, about AD 1150-1200. At this period, the Western Isles, where the chess pieces were found, were part of the Kingdom of Norway, not Scotland. It seems likely they were buried for safe keeping on route to be traded in Ireland." - http://www.britishmuseum.org/about_us/news_and_press/statements/the_lewis_chessmen.aspx

The McLaren P1 is a supercar produced by British marque McLaren Automotive. It is a plug-in hybrid with a mid-engine layout. It was first shown at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, with sales of the P1 beginning in the United Kingdom in October 2013 and all of the limited run of 375 units sold by November 2013. Production ended in early December 2015.

The P1 features a 3.8 L; 231.8 cu in (3,799 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The twin turbos boost the petrol engine at 1.4 bar (20.3 psi) to deliver 542 kW (737 PS; 727 hp) at 7,500 rpm and 531 lb⋅ft (720 N⋅m) of torque at 4,000 rpm, combined with an in-house-developed electric motor producing  a combined power output of 674 kW (916 PS; 903 hp) and 900 N⋅m (664 lb⋅ft) of torque.

And not to mention my favourite car of all time.

Full name: **Seventeenth-century Italian hydria apothecary vase**

A hydria-type apothecary maiolica vase created in Savona (Italy) in the late 17th century. Handles in the shape of (fantastic) animal heads on massive bent necks. At the front, towards the bottom of the vase, a gargoyle in relief. Plugged with regular cork, its mouth doubles as an opening for pouring out the contents of the vase. Smaller gargoyles, without any openings, located under the handles, alongside the vase.

Exhibit from the collection of apothecary ceramics donated to the Museum in 1976 by Mateusz Bronisław Grabowski, a Polish-British, London-based pharmacist.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.

One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon. It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882 when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust

The British Rail Class 08 is a diesel-electric shunting locomotive. Nicknamed "Gronk" by rail enthusiasts, the shunter first saw use in 1952 and quickly became a common sight in rail yards across britain. In fact a total of 996 were produced, making it the most common locomotive to ever run on British railways, with 100 still being used in operation to this day, with another 70 preserved at heritage railways.


I attempted to make an interior for a change, I think it turned out quite well, even though it's mostly just there so it doesn't look empty when the light hits it right, which was a problem with my other locomotives.

Hope you like it, and let me know what you think!

Romano-British London was abandoned in the late 5th Century CE and re-settled by Anglo Saxons in the early 7th Century.  This model is based on how a street scene may have looked in the late 9th Century - the Roman infrastructure and buildings decaying and becoming over-grown but the local Anglo Saxon community using the streets and buildings.  Its fortifications were re-inforced under the rule of Alfred the Great from 886 CE leading to the establishment of the City of London.

This model works well in UE5 - download as a gltf file.  Import into UE5 as a static mesh (either combined or seperate meshes in which case each element can be placed independently).

You are free to use this model in any way - if you like it enough to dowload it or add it to your collection then please also tick the like button.

Seated Buddha preaching. Unusually for this hand gesture, the Buddha wears the over-robe on both shoulders with a thick curved neckline, an edge lying below the right forearm, the semi-circle between the legs rather deep and the fall of gathered drapery from the left wrist, where the backthrow may be visible, undulating in high relief to lie splayed and almost flat on the seat. 

Height: 95 centimetres Width: 53 centimetres Diameter: 24 centimetres
