These 3 metre sculptures are one-tenth scale maquettes for a proposed 30 metre (100 feet) tall landmark feature of The Helix Environmental Regeneration Scheme on the Forth and Clyde Canal near Falkirk in Central Scotland.

.

This is a major civil engineering project and when complete will be one of the largest equine artworks in the world.

Andy Scott has created two sets of maquettes. The first set of scale maquettes demonstrated the ideas behind the proposal to the public, to the associated project partners and to the UK National Lottery assessors, who have agreed to fund the project.

The second set of models was developed in closer detail to form the basis of the complex engineering calculations which will enable the construction of the full scale work.
