Product Information

So I spent the boring hours up to midnight lining up a shot with two cameras and a split screen to provide a more realistic, off centre shot. Whether it's a timeless keyring showcasing iconic London landmarks or a special gift for your dad on Father’s Day - our team is dedicated to ensuring that all experiences are nothing short of exceptional. The clock tower is at the north-eastern end of the building, the home of the Houses of Parliament, and contains the famous striking clock and bell. The three models did not move with it and received folklore is that they were donated back to the BBC – current location unknown, I’m afraid.

We are adding more images every day to this site and creating more pages with exciting new models every week! In those days when OBs and lines could be problematic, the Beeb had made a highly detailed model of Big Ben’s clock face, about three feet tall. However it was an extremely realistic model, no one would have noticed if it had been used, so I wonder if it ever was, and what happened to it.Built in 1859, it is located on the River Thames in London and is known as the world-famous Gothic building.

The BBC first broadcast the chimes on the 31st December 1923 - there is a microphone in the turret connected to Broadcasting House. On June 2, 2012, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II’s throne accession, Big Ben was officially renamed as Elizabeth Tower. As well as the tower itself you get a selection of characters associated with it, such as Winston Churchill, a policeman, a punk and someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to Boris Johnson. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Follow the excellent instructions to place the 220 pieces into the design and then add in the lighting circuit to bring it to life.However, both were built as 12 x 9 electro-mechanical masterpieces by Murray Andrews to fit into ‘Noddy’.
