A snapshot in time. A glimpse of the Plettenberger Kleinbahn in 1/22.5 scale.

I think they ALL look great. Most satisfactory. -- Russ

Volker, your final bouquets look very good.
I also like the 'roses' in the white vase. They look like they have past their peak, but are still on display, perhaps for sentimental reasons.

Barney, Russ, thank you!

Bill, I think you nailed it. That's my impression, too, but it wasn't the result I tried to achieve: As the bouquet is going to be positioned in the dining room, to me it seems not suitable for that ambiance. Maybe i can use it later on in one of the upper staff rooms, hanging on the ceiling or wall to dry.

What a painstaking task, but the result is impressive.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
It appears to be,
You are a florist too.

Your words are magnificent! This is a monumental work of great lucidity and unfathomable significance, shifting from one paradigm to another. Why are violets blue? Or is blue an expression of their mental state? A poem that need not shy away from comparison with Protestnic Vogon Jeltz's 'Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning'! I felt free to provide a klingon translation:

rojHomDaj qIr,
'IwgharghDaj Suv.
bImejtaHvIS,
bI'angtaHvIS bI'angtaHvIS.

Russ, please release Stuart from the corner!

Good grief! I'm afraid I will have to commit both of you to a mental institution ... as roommates! -- RussssuR

Russ, why don't you join the party? I brought along three vinyl-upholstered children's chairs. Or was it three photos of a child's chair? Oh, never mind.







Cheers,

Terrific chair! Would you consider adding a mouthful of porridge along the seam at the back of the seat?

Keep in mind that it is a scale model. A mouthful of porridge would bury it completely, I'm afraid.

Chair seat and backrest are handmade 3D constructions, legs are reduced toothpicks (sanding with the dremel), skai (vinyl) pattern is printed on decal foil.

Cheers

Thank goodness the upholstery is vinyl; I drool. -- Russ

[Bill Gill]

Thank you, Volker. I meant to ask how you made the vinyl pattern. it looks just right.
And, I   should have been more specfic with the previous question... a 1:22.5 child-sized mouthful

Vinyl - ready to cater your every whim.


Not quite a report for you, but I think with this side of the hallway I finished the first floor.














Here we go:








I'll give the little plane toy on the table in the foreground a coat of silver color. As it is now, it blends in too much with the surroundings.


Cheers,
Volker
