Salvation Army Citadel, Aberdeen

The Salvation Army Citadel, an iconic building on Castlegate,  which can be seen the length of Union Steet in Aberdeen.

I have been wanting to model this building for a while. Apparently, the building it'self is based on the design for Balmoral Castle.  It certainly makes an impression.

There are a lot of iconic buildings in Aberdeen,  what to choose for the next project?

PowerPoint People

I often find myself searching for some simple and clear graphics to use in Powerpoint to represent people.  I didn't really like the ones I had,  so I created some.

Feel free to copy and make use of these if they are to your liking.  Image files have a transparent alpha background, so should sit over and alongside other images on your page with the background showing through.

Unicorn

A Unicorn.   The offical animal of Scotland since the 12th century.

So dangerous,  that in heraldry, it is always shown chained.  Horse-like,  with cloven hooves, the tail of a lion and a single horn.  It seemed fitting to also make it green-eyed and red haired.

A bit dangerous, right enough.

Return to sender

I got the return address sorted out in-case Better Together put any leaflets through my door.  I hope my local Post Office has a big set of scales.

Yes Windaes

Inspired by the #windaeref and @yeswindaes on twitter...

I had a model of a Barcelona Chair to fit in the room,  seems appropriate.  The poster on the wall is from Paul T Kavanagh, he has lots of great artwork over on Newsnet Scotland.

Update 27/6/14:  I've been getting some questions on where this photo was taken.  Sorry everyone, it is not real - here is the view before the textures and lighting are rendered in. 

But if anyone is handy with a glass-cutter and a blowtorch,  here is the pattern:

A follow-on from the Yes topiary.  This is getting quite a few re-tweets and nice comments on Twitter already.
