Korrespondence from Kronach

 Various images from the quaint Franconian town of Kronach.

Duck! Yes M'Lard!


Toy Train shop window, lots of Faller biuldings! 

3D printed model shop window, lots of rockets

More kits

More 3D printing


Brown trout in the Haßlich river


Religious messages on steps.


The ubiquitous Playmobil


An amazing castle sculpture


A devil crest with a nest.


Storks' nest in the former East near the old DDR border station of Probstzella, where, spookily, I had to show my passport on the train because my ticket was badly creased!

  1. Even the reflection in the window of the model train store looks like Faller building kits.

  2. Wow! What a trip. The missis and I would love to see more of Europe.
    I wonder if 3D Printing is the future of modelmaking. I "got out of Dodge City" just before 3D printing really took hold.
    I cleaned up some 3D prints at Weta Workshop for "Elysium", but I've heard about people still in the film industry muttering about just painting up stuff, instead of making it.

    1. It is fun Looey, sadly drawing slowly to an end. Elysium is on my watchlist. I had thought every home would have a 3D printer but maybe it's yet to happen.
