Elan Valley - Nant Methan

[Montylevy]

Just completed 18 months of work as part of the Elan Links landscape partnership interpreting sites across the Elan Valley including Cwm Elan lead and zinc mine.
Seems like a good place to share the 3d CGI I researched and commissioned as part of enhanced interpretation of this mine site.



Hope to continue exploring and telling the stories of its mining history in future projects.

Wow!. That is soooo good.

That's not CGI, it must've done with drone and Delorian

You can imagine Tony Robinson narrating over this on an episode of time team

I'm impressed, it looks like a lot of work went into that.

One minor point though - I'm not convinced by what is shown as the drive to the line shaft for the jiggers and the buddle. I can't see the long flexible connecting link to a single crank being able to convert reciprocating motion to continuous rotary motion.

Replaced dead link in OP with working one.

Congratulations, a splendid job

The geology of the site is seriously incomplete and currently under restudy; if the results would be of interest to your work I can provide such in not too distant future
