@Ryan - I'm glad that you listened to your Mentor (i.e. me), and uploaded some of those cool shots that you showed me today! Can't wait for more, buddy! :-)
@Emir - Thanks Emir! I actually pitched the pop-up idea to the client, so I'm quite chuffed that they went with it. But boy was it hard work! I was definitely thinking what an idiot I was for making the suggestion halfway through this, with 15 failed attempts in a box under my desk. But turned out cool, so I have forgiven myself. ;-)
@Luke - just this double page spread. 7 more books to come, but those will have 2-D collages - one for each Cape Dutch building on the farm. A nice mix of modern photography and old drawings.
Simon, you never cease to amaze. I thought about something like this, but then I thought that it was way too much work and just cried in a corner. I like your approach a whole hell of a lot better. haha. Great job.

Dream project: pop-up book. That's like every designer's dream, isn't it?
And who better suited than you, man. This looks absolutely gorgeous.

Amazing stuff, Simon. I love that you included the AI outlines, it gives a hint at the complexity of something like this.

@Seth - Thank you so much for the kind comment. The Illustrator outlines are really just a case of trying to share the pain! ;-)

@Jeff - My wish is that I had half your talent. So that I wouldn't have to rely on hiring illustrators to make me look good. :-)
