That's a forced perspective model of Whitehall. Beneath which, is Winslow Churcher's War room bunker. He features in the opening scene. In reality the bunker never had a street level entrance at the time, it was reached by entering a nearby building. But where's the cinematic value in that? The model was mostly conceived for a trailer shot of a V-1 flying bomb being chased by a Spitfire over London. ( something that doesn't occur in the actual film!) Trailers always lie!!!
Very nice work, and the curtains look good. I also like the statue. Good luck with the rest of the project.
ReplyDeleteA superb van that Looey! Century 21 will be calling! I love those statues too! What are the model buildings going to become?
