Work in progress on some Hirst Arts cast pipework for tabletop miniature gaming. Seen here after the first few bits of assembly work.
Boiler and pipework at Library of Birmingham energy centre, part of the Birmingham District Energy Scheme, visited by Baroness Verma on 10 March 2015
This pipework and vessel was part of the underground cooling water system that was removed during the demolition of Shell Haven Oil Refinery.
Taken at a weird angle I know. Not framed exactly how I intended.. but what you don't see in this shot is the reason why. Covalent Chick is laying beneath the white rusted pipe shooting an upwards shot of it and I was trying to keep her out of the photo. She looked like some sort of psycho contortionist photographer. Twisting like a pretzel to get the angle she wanted.
A salt-glazed firebrick produced at the Lambton Collieries 'D' Pit, Bournmoor in County Durham, found in an abandoned back-garden in the Scotswood area of Newcastle upon Tyne, and no doubt originally acquired from one of the numerous former industries on the nearby banks of the River Tyne.
Due to the addition of the drainage channel and pipework, it has allowed me to fill in a gap where the two coping stones met at the corner. This is an ongoing job as can be seen but at least will make a new area for further mosaic :-)
The end of the left hand coping stone had a glass shape mosaic arrangement at the end. When I first did it the drainage area hadn't even been thought of. However, I recently removed the glass shapes to make room for a better more spread out design and allow me to better connect the two coping stones together.
Some of the bamboo edging was also removed from this area to improve the view of the coping stones and to allow a better setting for the drainage area.
