Quiet earth (was: Exercise module for Plettenberg railroad in 1/22.5 scale)

Nothing in the photos of the drafting easel suggests we are looking at a model and the only give-away in the desk photo is the out of scale wood grain. Amazing. -- Russ

Volker, One of those drawing boards is fantastic. five more exactly like it is ...impossible...except, you have demonstrated it isn't. Wonderful! Happy New Year!

Hi Volker

I used a drawing board much like one of those when I was a cadet draftsman. Same kind of arm and pedestal, except the board was made of pine. They were lovely machines, I wish owned one today!

Absolutely superb miniature drawing office!

Happy new year!

Hi,

the model is on display from March 11 -13 at Ontraxs in Utrecht / the Netherlands. Time to change it's 'working title' to it's future name: quiet earth. I'm very happy to meet Kim (1-32) from Australia before and at the show, who will be giving me a hand with transport down the stairs.

Some pictures of the drawing office's current state:























All lamps are plugged into those little sockets for maintenance purposes  . Unbelievable how long plugging a plug to a socket can take. Not to mention eight plugs ... All those out of scale sockets are hidden behind the desks. Note the discolored LED left hand. I'll leave it for it's somewhat strange appearance. The effect in the picture is stronger than by own sight.





Cheers,
Volker

Amazing!
Wish I could see it in person.
I believe at this point I owe you a pint or two ( at the very least).

and Volker did you thought possible when you started the business?

I can still remember that you really no longer wanted to build on the module on.
As perfect as it is now, much more came of it as a final exercise.

Wonderful!

Wonderful, an impressive composition and almost mystical staging that is presentet here by the artist! I can almost hear the slurring steps of the cleaning lady in the staircase ...
