The puzzle is built up using thin sheets of wood to cut out each bit of contour, on a base of 4mm plywood, then each layer was painted before the whole was cut.  If you think this was fiddly, you are quite right!
 
 

The result is an illustration of the natural architecture of the hills of Wales, with some rivers, towns and roads marked, and of course the border with England.

201.  Bodyscan Man

The companion puzzle to Bodyscan Woman;  the three layers are similar (with important variations!) to the three layers of the female version. All the internal parts of the body are illustrated in the four diagrams, three on the puzzle layers and one diagram on the solid base. The layers are intended to be put together one on top of the other, but can also be lifted out as they are separated by plastic sheets.  The whole thing is held firmly in place by the lid. 

All the puzzle is handpainted.

Size :  17 x 30 x 2cm deep (6.75" x 11.75" x 1" deep)

Total number of pieces: 554 (organs layer 175, skeleton layer 189, muscles layer 190), in box formed by the base and lid.
