I'm counting the days (4) and six hours before I climb on to that jet airplane to hop the pond to England, but before I go I wanted to share some furniture that I have recently made for my Carentan Dio. Along with some from a good friend, Minuteman...

The first photo is Minuteman's contribution Tables and Chairs, Buffet, and the infamous Piano. Minutman's work really inspired me. So I am greatful to him for his work.


The rest of the furniture was created by my own hand. I am particularly proud of these... I would not have been able to do it without Minuteman's encouragement. He is a Great guy! Thanks Jay!
This is my Apothocary Cabinet, Secretary/writing desk, and Grandfather Clock

Secretary, (note the curved Drawers) and GF clock.

Mixed furniture.

My Grandfather Clock


Comments always welcome, the Grandfather clock is unfinnished I still have to create the to frames for the glass doors.and add the knobs.

Well this kind of details rise modelling one level above. Fantastic job from both u Paul and Minuteman. Just Fantastic.
Can i order some too please

Costas, I would be happy to send you my plans that I drew up!

They really look great, but are they in 1/35th or 1/72nd ???

They are 1/35th Scale.

extremely nice work both of you

Very nice pieces indeed. I would like to see your plans. And a question; how do you make these knobs, they look very good.

The knobs are made from stick pins, very small nails or brads.

Plans who talked about plans? I mean to send me the stuff itself LOL :-)
Very good job from 2 skilled modellers

Yep! That's right plans! If you wait on me it will be awhile, I'm hoping to get Carentan done for next years Nationals in Kansas City. Someone has to give Kevin a run for his money! LOL.

Very nice. The knobs look a smidge large.
One trick you can use for the frame of the clock is to do a google search for picture frames, find a nice one and print them off in color, cut them out and glue them on. It adds easy nice detail.

Paul the furniture looks excellent. If you have the plans you could send some my way. I am working on that custom dioramics house and need some furniture too Excellent work to both you and Jay. I really like it and its good to see you Working on detail stuff. Are you referring to KC this year or next? If this year I need to get busy then. Cheers Kevin

WOW...who knew you were a carpenter???..They look absolutely great. When are you gonna start selling these..and can you make them in 1/48th..LOL
Mary (++)

Paul,

Thank you for the kind words, I have enjoyed our collaboration. You have created some excellent pieces. Although I cannot believe you beat me to the clock. You have done an extremely nice job my friend and I cannot wait to see the progress on the dio.

Jay

Carentan would place this near Normandy. I don't know what you are going to do in your dio but what a shame of the possibility of blowing up some of this stuff if you do a wrecked house.

I think this would be very worthy of an article.

Absolutely amazing looking furniture Paul and Jay. This will add a tremendous touch to your diorama. If possible, I would love to see those plans you referenced as well.

Keith

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I do hope to do an article. ShermiesRule, these things will not be destroyed, they will be place into buildings that are still intact. However ,there will be some destuction.

Fantastic work Paul. Can't wait to see the article.

Very nice work. I have tried making furniture a couple of times myself and it's not easy. Keep up the good work.

Paul and Jay:
What you made make speechless... all I can say is that I find that furniture awesome... a real marvel... The pieces look like- sorry but I must say it- coming out of a Liliput dream! Congratulations to you both!
Cheers and happy modeling!
Prato

Could you send me the plans for the furniture too? If so, I thank you a lot! If not, sorry but I had to ask!

Paul and Jay

These are some really great looking pieces. If this is an example of the detail in the up coming dio, then I for one can't wait to see it. Oh and if you are going to give out the plans PLEASE can I get on that list. Better yet, why not just write a "how to " article.

Great job
Harry

I love the apothocary cabinet.... how COOL is that... sure you don't want me to cast a mold of that for ya before ya plunk it into a dio?

Excellent collection my friend.congrats to both. any dio or vignette with those pieces will look great for sure.
