Metal Heads HMHBM! (PiPs)

Metal Heads  HMHBM!  (PiPs)
Some of the figures on a Minehead Metal Head Trail, the latest attraction in the coastal town. The figures are all made from scrap metal and are the creation of a local man called Steven Heard. The idea began as a lockdown project and once they are finished he delivers them on his mobility scooter!! There are over 130 of them to find!

Thank you Edna. With over 130 of them you would have a whole gang of friends - they don't have a lot to say for themselves though!! They are called Metal Heads but are all metal by the look of them - a veritable scrap merchant's dream!! With a name like that I should really have added some loud music, - but ran out of time.

Pleased you like them. Wish I had found the rest of them!

HBM and have a great new week

Hi Carol
A wonderful and interesting set of pictures, which I like very much!
A brilliant idea! I do like the little one on the end of the bench.
I am so tempted to try one of these in my village, and see what happens!
Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes, HBM, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Great fun! We have a scrap metal artist here in the region who is doing wonderful work too; this inspires me to post some pictures of his work. Such a great way to repurpose what would otherwise end up in the junk yard.
2 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Sarah P. club
Thank you very much Sarah. Yes I love to see creative pieces like this. I hope he had as much fun creating them as I have done seeing them dotted around the seafront. As you say it is a good way to use scrap metal but also it benefits the town and tourism I should imagine.
Whenever I see quirky pieces they lift my spirits and make me smile.
Have a good week
