Of all the builds, this one was probably the simplest. If I had more time and resources, I would do it again, but for now I'm satisfied.

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Superman is a property of DC comics, No copyright infringement intended.

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?

This was my first time building a locomotive, and to be honest, the model itself is a train-wreck, but I only needed the front face for this shot, so it works.

Slab made from southern yellow pine joist from a grape transfer, railroad depot, in Skeneatteles (finger lakes region ny), deconstructed and salvaged by ReUse Action (reuseaction.com) in Buffalo NY. Barn probably was built approx 1880s or 90s...and before wine became so important (1930s) it was probably used for other produce.

 

Building was rebuilt on a modern inner structure, and excess lumber ( long 2 and 3x joists) was salvaged used in this table slab, sold and used for other projects. The joists and beams are old-growth southern yellow pine...as hard as rock, and fragrant and densely grained....and beautiful when finished with satin varnish. It has many holes and gouges that I carefully fill with marine epoxy.

 

Base was built of black gas pipe. Finished with flat black paint and antiqued. Leveler feet were custom desined and turned from oak from another barn (I dont personally like flanges or pipe caps for feet and needed to design a better leg foot).

 

Used now as a conference table by an architecture firm. Its meant to be used with stools or as stand up.

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 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).

 

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).
