I started this frame with various square and flat stock mild steel. The buildings are copper pipe, brass rod and steel. My intention was to create a kind of power generation and distribution center, the center building being the distribution center, and the rotating sphere on the right, with it’s supports and conductors, being the generation unit, and bring it out onto the frame. I’ve also added a small pewter building, by Rawcliffe, next to the tower at the left.

Various flat and angle mild steel was used for this frame. I did some extensive metal work all around this frame, adding doors at various points to reflect the environment of the image. I also brought the path in the image out onto the frame at the bottom. This path was made from small cut pieces of tile. The pewter figure on the right is by Rawcliffe.

The “Betrayal in Winter” frame is one of my favorites. The material is various sizes of mild steel angle and flat stock, all with burned edges and rough welded together. I wanted to bring the bridge, in the image, out onto the frame so with some extensive fabricating and fitting, I was able to do so. I wanted to make the bridge a “draw bridge”, so with the placement of a ratchet mechanism, at the top center, and some rigging, I was able to make the bridge open by turning the gear wheel at the top. I finished off the bridge with some copper scroll work, and added a small pewter figurine offering an “Orb of Protection”, by Gallo, to the wanderer in the image.
