Kevin Sweeney Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Some photos from the opening of my exhibition in the County Museum on Saturday. I sold two models. 9 Quote
Kevin Sweeney Posted May 7 Author Posted May 7 A quick, simple project, started this morning and just finished. The Abbeyland Tower in Cavan Town is an iconic Cavan structure. It was the belfry of medieval Cavan abbey, and is the sole surviving fragment of medieval Cavan town. 13 Quote
Kevin Sweeney Posted May 13 Author Posted May 13 Another iconic Cavan building, Killykeen Cottage built in 1819 by Lady Farnham, on the shore of Lough Oughter. Anyone who has visited Killykeen Forest Park will recognise it. 7 2 Quote

Mol_PMB Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Superb work as ever! I keep forgetting how small these all are in N gauge, yet the character and detail is captured perfectly. 1 2 Quote
Kevin Sweeney Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 (edited) Conjectural model of medieval Cavan Abbey, based on a late 1500s map of Cavan Town. The tower I posted on May 7th is all that remains of the abbey. This model will be joining my other models on display in the County Museum, until November 1st. I'm hunting for a commission from a glamping site, so I've made a glamping pod as a sample. I also have a new website, which is still a work in progress but is now live at breffnimodels.ie Edited May 21 by Kevin Sweeney 11 Quote
Patrick Davey Posted May 22 Posted May 22 More amazing work Kevin - love the contrast in the glamping pod! Great website too - best of luck with it all. 1 1 Quote
Kevin Sweeney Posted July 20 Author Posted July 20 I've taken a break from making models until September, but I'm doing a lot of research on our architectural heritage. I have come across many sad cases of beautiful buildings abandoned and allowed to crumble, and others modified beyond recognition. This one pictured take the prize for least sensitive reuse of a historically important building, I've come across so far. Built in the 1820s, this is the gate lodge of Baronstown House, Co Westmeath, converted into a very grand cow house. It's so awful and ugly I'm nearly tempted to make a model of it. 1 1 1 Quote
