Custombuilt 9000 by Leif Mellberg, for Bacho

Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.

Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5 50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system, the self-timer and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.

The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back). The identification of a Foth Derby 2A as the donor camera is also supported by the fact that the Foth Anastigmat f2.5 lacks a serial number on the front face.

Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is very well machined.

It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

The 6152/1 was the original '40/'50s combat diver watch developed by Panerai for the Italian navy. A further evolution of this model would in the '90s be revived as the more modern and mainstream Panerai Luminor watch.

I greatly prefer the styling of the classic 6152/1 and wanted a watch that had the vintage looks, but a more modest modern 44mm case size. This piece was custombuilt and has the '1950' style curved case, double pencil brass hands, base sandwich dial, superlume, domed plexiglass, ammo leather strap and a vintage (1952) Molnija 3601 movement. The Molnija is significant because the original 6152/1 had a Rolex movement, made by Cortebert. Cortebert licensed this design to the Russian Molnija, which makes this movement the spiritual brother of the Rolex movement in the original watch.

For the sixth year in a row I created a Christmas Lego exhibition for the mall Moldetorget, in down town Molde. This is the third year that we placed it in the window of Norway's oldest photo store, Birkeland Foto AS.

This year I created a Christmas market. You can see a Xmas tree seller, a toy maker, a woman selling food and decorative items and a Pizzeria/Bakery. At the end of the street is a church.

90% of what you see is custom built by me, but there are some models from Lego as well.

Oh, and I also included a lot of film, comics, TV and nerdy references. Can you spot them?
