17. Long John Wallace

Probably supposed to be guarding the Bristol Harbourside, 17. Long John Wallace seems to be enjoying a cup of tea, no doubt laced with rum.

It’s sometimes the little touches that make these models special, notice the parrot (which I missed when I was there), the wooden leg, but also the gold tooth.

Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.

22. Oceans 1: Deep Blue

Hiding in the shop in “we the curious” is the pair to 27. Oceans 2: Yellow Sub, an underwater 22. Oceans 1: Deep Blue. Complete with octopus on the side.

What I didn’t realise at the time until we saw 22. Oceans 1: Deep Blue, that this is connected to 27. Oceans 2: Yellow Sub in the MShed by two way video cameras.

20. The Wallace Collection

Smiling away at you is 20. The Wallace Collection.

Comprising pop art, post-impressionism, and cubism this arty Wallace is very bright and colourful.

However he also has a nice cup of tea.

24. Honeydew

On the corner of the docks next to the Arnolfini is 24. Honeydew.

24. Honeydew

This Viking looking Gromit is not one of my favourites, I don’t think it really works.

24. Honeydew

His description says “Looking like a Norse seafarer fresh off his dragon-ship, this Dwarf of Khaz Modan is one of the main protagonists in popular gaming empire Minecraft.”

61. Plooming Marvellous

This peacock can be found lurking at the Hartcliffe Community Farm Park.

Overlooking the farm, you do wonder what dastardly deeds is that Feathers McGraw planning now.

Clever idea and sculpture, why be a chicken when you can disguise yourself as a peacock!

60. The Brystal Maze

Inspired by The Crystal Maze, 60. The Brystal Maze can be found on the site of the old Bristol Airport in Hengrove.

This design is inspired by each of the four ‘zones’ of The Crystal Maze: Medieval, Industrial, Aztec and Future. The Crystal Maze is of course filmed in Bristol.

He can be found at the Hengrove Promenade where you will need to pay for parking in order to photograph him, as the short term car parking spaces always appear to be full!
