These are the first two in the series and unlike most maps give you an excellent view of our major cities from historic info to future projects. There are further Cities to come … including Hong Kong, Paris, Sydney and many more major Cities. It’s an excitingly different theme which we couldn’t wait to put together. So we thought you might like it too! Although not cheap to buy, we’re sure it will be a jigsaw that will be completed many times, by all members of the family and friends. How best to describe these??? The ultimate jigsaw puzzle and the first to use time as the fourth dimension! Size when built = 700 x 360mm First assemble the base jigsaw… Then add the interlocking second level… Then, with the aid of the poster, start to add the iconic buildings in the order in which they were built, starting at 1078, and building the city up to the year 2014. You can see the changing skyline over this time! The jigsaw pieces are made from high quality foam board, so that they lock firmly together, and the scale models of the buildings are high quality injection mouldings, and slot securely into the foam board.

NEWS & VIEWS Readers Letters Preparations for our Jigfest this year are going well. As you know, it’s going to be a two-day event this time, April 9 and 10 from 10-4. It’s been so successful the last two years; we felt we just had to expand it! We will have about 600 puzzles or more. About 40 manufacturers and some 20 artists are represented, including, of course Thomas Kincaid, Michael Jupp, and Kevin Walsh etc. We have a number of unusual puzzles, including wooden ones, so collectors will be interested. We draw the line at 30,000 pieces plus or we’d run out of display room! It would be good to see and welcome members again the event will be at the Abbots Langley Community Centre, Manor House Grounds, High Street WD5 0AP. Brian Hibberd-Abbotts Langley. We really enjoyed your event last year and will make every effort to visit during the two days. We wish you every success. Seems to be growing well and all for a very good cause. Congratulations on a well-staged Jigfest. With a growing mountain of Jigsaws –lots of subjects, I wondered if anyone in my area would like to participate in a jig-swop. I am in Cotford St Luke, Taunton and would be pleased to hear of anyone who would be interested. Tel: 01823 432809 Brian Staples - Taunton.
