The finishing touch? Woodchip scattered like it’s straight out of a Warhammer diorama—frozen first to kill any pests. Because when it comes to conservation, we don’t just make things look right, we make sure they’re safe, too.
Now ready for display and looking majestic once more!

Heres some more photos to go with that last post, the hippo at the entrance of Ipswich Museum and the side-by-side signatures. The paper was used to stabilise a wobbly tusk so was probably shoved in when the hippo was at grab hight by a member of staff.

This is a model of the Boat, the Royal George which sat in town hall to help raise money for the victims of the Napoleonic Wars.
To protect this large object I used recycled wood to make a frame which I could cover in a sheet to protect the model from dust.

Micheal did an amazing job restoring these, I don't currently have a photo but it's a glow up! We also found this accompanying plaque that would have been on the cross(yet to be cleaned in this photo)

I've built an acrylic top to the cabinet and now we are removing 90% of the type so it's not to heavy for the gallery. Which means alot of careful labeling and packing, this is going to take a few days 🤔 it's crazy how much type there is.
