Description:
This is a detailed resin model of "The Green Dragon Pub," designed and produced by David Winter in 1983. The model represents a traditional, rustic thatched-roof English pub or cottage. The asymmetrical structure features multiple peaked roofs, each with textured ridges. Four cylindrical chimneys rise from different parts of the building, adding architectural interest. The walls are painted in an off-white or cream colour with a rough stone or stucco-like finish.
The pub is decorated with climbing greenery, particularly red flowers intertwined with green vines, which cover various parts of the walls. Small, rectangular windows with latticework are symmetrically positioned around the structure, contributing to its cottage-like aesthetic. A small wooden door is located at the front, with barrels placed nearby, likely representing the pub's entrance. Above the door, the name "The Green Dragon" is clearly inscribed in black lettering.
The model's base is designed to resemble a rocky terrain, especially noticeable at the back where the building appears to nestle into a sloping hill. The piece is hand-painted with earthy tones, including beige, brown, green, and red, lending a natural and traditional appearance.
Manufactured by John Hine Ltd. in the United Kingdom, this resin model was handmade and hand-painted, as indicated by the label on the underside of the base. The base is covered in green felt and provides further detail about the origins of the piece. With its approximate production date in 1983, the model serves as a good example of decorative items from the period, perfect for display or as part of a collection.
Beyond its decorative purpose, this model could be used as a charming piece for themed decor or as a display in a miniature village scene.
