Hi,
I've recently taken on a small project to build a model of an iron age roundhouse for use in a school session at the museum I work for. As the use of paper on this project will be minimal I thought I'd start a thread in this section instead.
The model needs to be 'constructable' by children ageing from 7 upwards, to help them appreciate the kind of dwelling in use some 2,500 years ago in Britain, and across Europe I suppose. Hopefully the steps in construction will show the different stages that would have happened in real-life.
Being for children it's got to be pretty durable, so I'm starting with a wooden base with a circle of holes drilled in it for the posts, which will be made of metal, covered with milliput to simulate wooden posts. That's where I've got to so far, other than adapting a photo of some wattle fencing and stripping the paint off some Britain's farmyard figures that will be adapted.
More updates soon.
