New #photogrammetry capture of Holy Trinity Church, Buckfast.

If you love gothic horror look into the backstory of this church. Ghost dogs, evil lords, the occult, multiple times "it went on fire", a cave system underneath and an inspiration for The Hound of the Baskervilles!

New #photogrammetry capture of Sanders Longhouse in Lettaford, Devon. Over 500 years old, a rare example of this style of shared accommodation for animals and humans.

Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm an Architectural Illustrator and 3D Reconstruction Artist from Edinburgh. I enjoy a bit of time travel!

My work involves many months of meticulous research, guided by archaeology, measured survey data, and close collaboration with historians.

Website: bobmarshall.co.uk
Digital reconstruction of the medieval Great Chamber at Belsay Castle in Northumberland, showing how it might have looked towards the end of the fifteenth century. The Middleton family occupied Belsay Castle for more than six centuries until Sir Charles Monck built Belsay Hall close to it in the early nineteenth century. There is fragmentary evidence that this interior was elaborately decorated with geometric patterns below a dado, and above it, a mock tapestry depicted trees set against a dark-coloured background. Their lopped branches support several heraldic shields associated with the Middleton family. There is an instance of a wildman or woodsman commonly referred to as ‘Wild Man of Belsay’. This was a figure that the Middleton family began using in their heraldry in the latter half of the fifteenth century. Above the window opening on the upper part of the south wall, there are paintings that have been identified as carracks, a typical three-masted sailing vessel used in the fifteenth century for trading and warfare. The depiction of the painted timber ceiling in the reconstruction is speculative and is inspired by other surviving ceilings that were fashionable in this period. Artist: Bob Marshall.

Contact Historic England Archives for Licensing enquiries. A speculative reconstruction of the incomplete timber castle at Howden Motte (c.1305-10) near Selkirk (NT 4584 2686). This is the castle of Alexander Baliol of Cavers - one-time Chamberlain of Scotland and the uncle of King John Baliol, r.1292 – 1296. Howden was an oval enclosure on the ridge top, surrounded by a ditch and bank. Excavation in 1957 revealed the post-holes of a wooden palisade around the rim of the mound and a stone floor. Around the edge of the enclosure was a timber palisade, and it is possible that the enclosure was revetted in stone where the gate entrances were. A timber tower may have been provided with an adjacent hall or solar along with stables, kitchens, and accommodation for the garrison of 30 men-at-arms. Personal project © Bob Marshall 2022 This is a large aerial view digital reconstruction depicting the events of the siege of Stirling Castle in 1304. Edward I of England's army demonstrates the power of his mighty war machine, the giant boulder-throwing trebuchet or catapult 'Warwolf'. It was state-of-the-art weaponry for its time and considered to have been the largest trebuchet ever built. Personal project © Bob Marshall 2020.

Do we still like cutaway pictures?
I've been experimenting with turning my scans into cross-sections.

New #photogrammetry capture of one of the oldest churches in England. St Peter on the Wall at Bradwell, Essex.

Partly built from reused Roman material, it sits within the location of a Roman fort looking out over the North Sea.

I've hired a Leica BLK360 G2 lidar scanner for a week to learn. I want to see how it deals with plain white walls and ceilings.
Below shows a comparison of photogrammetry with and without adding in the lidar scan.
Would love to buy one but they are £20,000+ with very expensive software fees on top!

In the Secrets of the Thames exhibition at London Museum Docklands is this large amphora fragment found by Guy Phillips on the foreshore in Central London.

I was kindly allowed to scan it while it was being looked after by @katesumnall.bsky.social and Stuart Wyatt.

I've visited the new Secrets of the Thames mudlarking exhibition at London Museum Docklands. It's really good and it has some of my 3D models in that you can interact with. Definitely worth a visit.
