Gillan's Green
Part of 'The Purple Line'
< Back to 'The Purple Line'
Gillan's Green is named after singe Ian Gillan. It depicts an
awfully English scene of country church next to a village
bowling green. A sign says it's The Bol'in Green. No, not a
typo, but a reference to Tommy Bolin the bands second guitar
player who took over, for one album, from Ritchie Blackmore.
The box is one of the Terminus ends and features a small
station with a road/parking behind.
The cottage and bowls pavilions are Metcalfe kits. The church
is built from scratch. The tower is probably a bit on the short
size, a restriction caused by the 65mm height of the box file.
All the gravestones were cut from card and painted and are
several different shapes.
The bowls figures are from P&D Marsh, with pin heads used
for the bowling woods.
The background scene is a photo found on the internet.
