The staircase turned out great!

Bill, Sami, Russ, Frithjof, Narayan and Ray .- thank you for stopping by!

For the last few weeks I've only been able to think about hot ovens (in German there's pun intended).

You already know this one:



And this is no stranger either:






Compared to the previous version, I have separated the body into individual parts, which makes painting much easier. It will only be assembled afterwards.






There was also another, more solid model - also as an enamelled stove:




Here too, the parts to be attached (handles) are printed separately:




I wanted something different for the sedate living room and opted for a tiled stove:






I am curious to see how the ornaments will come out in print:




For the foot soldiers in the attic there was probably only the simple version as Cannon oven:






Then I had to find something to use against those who are no longer completely clean (again: pun intended in German. People who are a bit bonkers); otherwise they are well on their way to taking over the world:

Good morning Volker.
Now that is a challenge, especially the taps I am sure you will do a great job.
Cheers

All that CAD work must have taken some time. I like the way you designed "kits" for yourself and, of course, how convincing the resulting models will be. -- Russ

Nice work! So that last one is a shower with its own water heater?

Really pretty furnishing details with nostalgic charm.

Hello everyone,

The first parts are printed - just some quick shots:



There's always a little rework, but here it was just the smooth, slightly curved surfaces. Then the paint came into play. The handles were printed, painted separately, and then glued in. The slider handle for the air supply was made from a piece of flattened copper wire.



The cannon stove is still missing handles, which I also made from flattened 0.3 mm copper wire.



Best regards,
Volker

Gorgeous, n'est-ce pas? -- Russ

Russ,

Back then, stoves were simply pieces of furniture. Today, it's hard to imagine where functional elements are hidden or obscured as much as possible: so that we finally believe that electricity does come from the socket.

The stairs from the first floor to the attic is also finished.





Through the stairwell, the recess in the wall paneling for the stair stringer can be seen. The staircase, like all walls and floors, is designed to be removable for maintenance purposes.





And this is what the upstairs hallway looks like.




Cheers,
Volker

I remember seeing heaters like the one you modeled and your stairway looks perfect. -- Russ
