The Triumph Spitfire is an iconic British sports car and a great classic car. That is mostly thanks to its name, with the car named after Britain's World War II fighter aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire. Powered by an inline 4 engine, this model is a 1972 spitfire with special addition seats.

This bright blue glass boardgame piece is crowned with a ring of white bobbles. It is likely to be the King from a set used for playing a version of 'tafl' - a family of games played in Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden which are derived from the Roman wargame Ludus Latrunculorum. It was found during a community-led archaeological dig on Lindisfarne, organised by DigVentures and Durham University.

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

One of the UK's most 'decorated' or deliberately marked stones. The study by Andy Jones and myself identified 105 cup marks, and up to 47 linear features that radiate from or link them together. 

Read a [popular article](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/07/07/ancient-stone-monuments-may-have-used-mysterious-moonlit-ceremonies/) in the Telegraph or if your organisation subscribes, read the [full research](http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1751696X.2017.1341241) in the journal Time and Mind.

This model was funded by [Cornwall Archaeological Society](https://cornisharchaeology.org.uk). The cup marks and grooves can be best seen with the "matcap" shader - selectable by clicking or tapping the Model Inspector tool from the 'stack' icon on the lower right of the viewer. Another good view is to select the AO option (from the 'stack' icon).

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!

Following the departure of the Romans in 410 CE villas in Britain are likely to have entered a period of decline and in some cases decay.  Subsequent settlers may have moved into the buildings and this model depicts a derelict villa occupied by Viking settlers - perhaps in the 8th Century CE.  The roof has fallen in and been replaced by a wooden structure and some of the walls have fallen.

This model will work well as a game asset and I have tested it in UE5.1 (download gltf and import the scene.gltf file into Unreal.  You are free to use it in any way.

Model made in Zbrush - UVs in Rizom UV and textures added in Substance Painter.

Viking settlement in derelict Roman Villa

A building built by the Romans during their occupation of Britain (43 - 410 CE) - typical of a town house in Londinium (Roman London) - established in 47 - 50 CE.  The house would have been abandoned when the Romans left Britain and would have started to fall into disrepair but may have become occupied by early Anglo Saxons in the 5th or 6th Century.  Following frequent attacks the Vikings occupied the city in 871 CE until it was re-taken by the Saxons in 886 under the leadership of Kind Alfred of Wessex (Alfred the Great).

The model shows the house in a state of disrepair but perhaps with some renovations - by Vikings or Saxons - and some Viking chairs up on the balcony!

I have kept the poly count as low as possible and it should work well as a game asset - download the gltf file and load the scene file into Unreal - tick 'Combine mesh' box for a single static mesh or untick if you want to use the individual modules of the house in your scene.  You are free to use the model in any way.

LENNOX CASTLE HOSPITAL, LENNOXTOWN UK situated at the western edge of the hospital complex, was built between 1837 and 1841 to designs by David Hamilton. In April 1925 Glasgow Parish Council resolved to build a new Mental Deficiency Institution under the provisions of the 1913 Act. In 1927 Lennox Castle and its vast estate were purchased, and plans prepared for what was to be the largest and best equipped hospital of this type in Britain. It was to provide 1,200 beds at a cost of 1.25 million.  https://historic-hospitals.com/2015/05/01/lennox-castle/

The Whitechapel Bell Foundry was the oldest manufacturing company in Great Britain. It has now closed but the building is Grade II* listed. There are plans to convert the site to a hotel but also campaigns to preserve the location in a way that is closer to its original function.

Big Ben and the Liberty Bell were cast here.

The building is situated on the corner of Whitechapel Road and Fieldgate Street, London.

Date 1670 (oldest part).

British army military barracks,Summerhill, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. 19th-century upright boundary stone No 5 now built into roadside wall on the north side of the entrance to the barracks. Stone marked the front boundary of the property belonging to the military barracks. B ↑ O which stands for Board of Ordnance. The broad arrow pointing upwards carved between the B O of which the pheon is a variant, is a stylised representation of a metal arrowhead, comprising a tang and two barbs meeting at a point. It is a symbol used traditionally in heraldry, most notably in England, and later by the British government to mark government property. Erected before 1855 when the Board of Ordnance was disbanded and replaced by the War Department. The stone had an earlier number 6 beneath the No. 5 which has had a line put through it, beneath this there are the letters 8 ft. Front. The Board of Ordnance were the custodian of the lands, depots and forts required for the defence of Britain & Ireland.

Nenagh Barracks Boundary Stone No. 5

At Ynys we parked up in the village and followed the sign leading up the hill to Eglwys Llanfihangel Y Traethau. In the churchyard is an extremely interesting gravestone. Important because a) it is positively dated to the reign of Owain Gwynedd, the King who reigned between 1137 and 1170, and b) it is the grave of a woman, clearly of status. 

The stone reads Hoc (or perhaps Hic) est sepulchrum Wleder matris
Odeleu qui primus edificavit
hanc ecclesiam
in tempore Ewini regis

This means, "Here is the grave of Wleder mother of Hoedliw who first built this church in the reign of King Owain".

The script is carved in a Carolingian style that came to Britain along with the Normans.

Sadly nothing remains of the 12th C church, and we don't know anything more about Wleder or Hoedliw, but there are great views from the church over the Traeth back towards Porthmadog.
