You know what, I'm going to do a little comparison of places I recognize. For example, there is a steampunk indoor coaster called "Iron Bull, but the facade is the Royal Palace of Aranjuez.
Or a theater that turned the "Puerta del Cambrón" gate in Toledo into a facade.

This reminds me of a painting that featured on Antiques Roadshow many years ago that had been damaged by a cleaner who thought the moon was a white spot.

I've noticed the same problem with some of the hobbies I do as unfortunately money can be a huge barrier rather than skill. Something I've been interested in getting into for a little while is clock making, but the challenge is that the materials alone (like brass) can be very expensive.

🧵... later moved to the jewelers saw as it was getting a bit to small for the scroll saw. This did give me a chance to practice using the jewelers saw as I will need it for when I eventually start making clock wheels.

Growing a spirit of global solidarity can prevent losing the production capacity in [sub-]tropical states so existential for our complex 🌐supply chains.
Instead of sadist scapegoatism spread by fascists, we therefore must foster hope and trust in people, in neighbours, in politics, eg 🇬🇧Zack Polanski
