Some Reference Photos of Decay

[marc_reusser]

A link to 2 pages of photos I took of some old and decaying workshops in Berlin. (I will definitely be using these as an example for my next building build).

Very nice pictures, Marc. But why do you try to let us believe you went to Berlin to shoot them. Everybody in this forum knows perfectly well you've just shot one of Chuck's hidden models.

I suspect either:  (a) Marc really has been travelling to see Mr. Ackle ... or (b) he's gotten some secret photos from same ... cuz those look more like Marcel's models to me!

   Marc,

   
   I am looking forward to your impressions of the rest of the cities you will visit.
   That first set looks like Nick's buildings, maybe the same architect ?

   have a good time.

Here are 4 more pages of pics...just a bunch of misc. old stuff that caught my eye, some for modeling reference and some for work reference.

Dallas: unfortunately due to the schedule, I was unable to meet up with Jacq., Marcel, Marc Thielkas, and Nick......it was really too bad, hopefully next time.

Bit of a waste of time and money coming over if you couldn't shedule a meeting with Jacq , Marcel or Marc . ( I don't count , because my schedule wouldn't have permitted me to meet either ) . In fact , I don't know why you bothered making the trip at all !

If you come back to Blighty in November you'll be able to meet Jacq , Marcel and myself all at the same time as they are both bringing their layouts to Warley this year . This will make it worth the bother for me to make the one and a half hour trip to the show and worth the effort of fighting through hundreds of sweaty people to see them .

Oh by the way , good photos . Lots of useful images to use as reference .

  I'm glad to see I'm not the only idiot who takes pictures of cobbled streets !

But you don't include your feet or have your shadow over the best bits

Anyway thanks for the photos Marc, very useful.

Here are a couple more from my trip to Germany earlier in the month .

Gordon ,

  The shadow was put there for reference purposes . To get an idea of scale !

Nick,

that is interesting and would make a fun little model

I'm presuming it is some form of compressor, built on a cut down skip frame?

Any more pics?

[shropshire lad]

Nick,

Any more pics?

  Gordon ,


     Yes ,


    Nick

[shropshire lad]

What ? Oh , you want me to post them ?

  Well , all right , here are three more .

It is indeed a compressor built , if I remember what I was told correctly, in about 1936 in Dusseldorf .
