It's in the scout hall where the Explorer scouts meet. They carved/scribed the tiles 3 years ago, and it got mounted earlier this year, but last week was the first time I was there with a camera !!
A fantastic artist friend of mine drew each of the scenes and I scaled and arranged them. I rolled and cut the tiles with a broken collarbone. No, actually, my partner rolled and cut for me. I just wrapped and stacked and kept them in the right condition for carving. -

Lovely. They remind me of the Egyptian "............" headed gods.

#OldLady I've made hump moulds from plastic mixing bowls. The plaster has always just slid out, but if you want to be sure, no harm in using soapy release or cling film.
Good Luck.

No, just mine and my parents. I'd made mine, and dad asked if I could make theirs for their 50th anniversary. He measured all the walls, and we'd already measured the garden. So it's pretty much to scale.

They are called U bolts. When we bought them, they came with two nuts each, had to buy extra nuts as you need four per bolt.
Good luck, I love my hollow extruder dies.

No, we looked at lots of pictures, videos and "how-tos" and came up with our own plan. Partly from "stock material" sizes, partly to fit the storage space, partly...........
The bit we splashed out on was the heavy duty thick walled pipe.
I really love it, it lived for a while on it's end under the bench in the greenhouse, and I used it on the workhorse stand out in the garden. I finally cleared off enough bench space so it now lives permanently on the bench, ready for immediate use.
It's adjustable by removing the inside floor, which comprises two (3?) pieces of mdf, and two A2 cutting mats, one to protect the mdf from wet clay, then second to give finer adjustment to rolling thickness.
