…and a new year filled with love, hope and joy.
Whether you’re a customer, fellow model maker, regular reader or occasional visitor, all have supported another successful year on the blog. I’ll do my usual wrap up of stats towards the end of the year, but today is my heart felt thank you.
I would be interested in hearing your favourite moments, as I plan to do something of a year-in-view as well. My personal hi light was the book launch in May, hosted by my friend Simon at Wild Swan in Bath. A lovely weekend where I met a number of you in person in an event that had the feel of a blog post!
Again, seasons greetings and best wishes for a prosperous and successful 2026, it would be wonderful to work with you again, or perhaps for the first time. You can contact me via the form on the Commissions page, but until next time though, more soon…
Support my work
I love writing and creating material for the blog. If you enjoy what you read and engage with I would be appreciative of any donation, large or small, to help me keep it advert and restriction free. Alternatively, feel free to buy me a coffee.

My favourite moment? Any post containing a plan and/or 3D image with a new mini-layout idea. Since I started following you, I've collected 104 of those, and I may have overlooked some older ones. So my wish for you in the new year is this: May the creative Muse never leave you.
ReplyDeleteA very Merry Penpont Christmas to you James. Thank you for posting your wonderful ideas, plans, photographs and thoughts. Your blog is like a favourite book that I read and re-read, discovering gems of inspiration and interest.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work pal!
Best wishes for a peaceful New Year. Roger Swan.
