This all feels so fresh I may just need to launch Windows Writer and blog about it on my Blogger page.

No one corrected me, but it’s Windows Live Writer. I think. Or whatever. #WindowsLive #retro
@imwiththecats you got it!
@MichaelPetch Cheers! We’ve been diggin’ on #ThePeripheral here, too. I guess I’m assuming you’re enjoying it.. ha!
@imwiththecats yes indeed, especially the London skyline!
@imwiththecats I need to find out who did the VFX on that. Some of the models really remind me of the Scan The World project

@MichaelPetch OoOoooo I hadn't found SCW so I'm super glad you mentioned that!

If you haven't done the searching yet, here is the list of VFX folks I found, too: https://www.artofvfx.com/the-peripheral/

Was there a specific model that made you think of SCW? Just curious, as your eye is likely pretty keyed in.

@imwiththecats So, I did recognise The Winged Victory of Samothrace on the right hand side of Trafalgar Square.

3D Printable Winged Victory of Samothrace at The Louvre, Paris by Scan The World

Famed as being the greatest masterpiece in Hellenistic art, this marble sculpture made in the 2nd Century BC depicts the Greek goddess Nike. Also called Nike of Samothrace this sculpture is on permanent display at the Louvre standing majestically at 2.4 metres high. What makes this sculpture iconic is its highly detailed wings and intricately sculpted fabric; also the fact that it is missing the head and arms is arguably what makes the sculpture so fascinating. This object is part of "Scan The World". Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free.

Athena Pallas looming over Regent Street. Maybe waiting for the Apple Store to open?

3D Printable Athena Pallas Giustiniani by SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst

Digitised with an Artec Eva. The Athena Pallas Giustiniani (Or Giustiniani Minerva) is an Antonine Roman marble copy of a Greek sculpture of the Pallas Athena, of the late fifth-early fourth century BC. The sculpture was probably a cult image rather than a decorative cultural trophy. The serpent at Athena's right foot recalls the archaic myth of Ericthonius in his serpent form. The forearms are restorations, as are the spear and the sphinx upon the goddess's Corinthian helmet. This scan is of a cast housed at The SMK's Royal Cast Collection, which was cast from the Museo Ciaramonti (ORIG 195). | Download free and paid 3D printable STL files

Looks like David is chilling in Woolwich on the right and Doryphoros catching some rays back in the square mile on the left.

3D Printable Doryphoros by Scan The World

The Doryphoros (The Spear Bearer) represents the strict, classical ideal of maleness. Here we find a serene, harmonious, muscular soldier ready for battle. The line above the shoulder and the line above the hip point in different directions: this is a “contrapposto” position; the sculpture is in movement. The original was created by Polyclitus, who wrote a treatise on the correct proportions of a canonical work, and his sculptures were copied in great numbers. | Download free and paid 3D printable STL files

@imwiththecats not saying these are the same files, but they did remind me of this. Probably because our office is full of 3D prints!
@MichaelPetch dude super cool, I’m gonna check these out today. Was away for the weekend but looking forward to clicking around. Thanks for turning me on to that!!!
