For a long time, in my past, I made models as a freelancer for museums and occasionally for architects – though I didn’t like working for architects, as they were always in a hurry for the model, and not in a hurry to pay!
In total I worked for about 20 years making models, and enjoyed myself really well. In that time I made all sorts of models, including a Lego one! I really enjoyed myself with that, and I had real pleasure buying the lego to make it… Especially the face of a kid while I was doing that…. He was so jealous!
It was a model of how a windmill worked, as a sawmill, sadly I don’t have any photos of it, as it was an exceptional model – but I remember it with affection.
I do however, have other photos from that time, some of which I will bung into this blog, so you can see them., mostly models I made for Natuurmonumenten, who were an organisation that were busy with nature reserves and visitor’s centres, who I made many models for.
So, here are these………
I also made models for zoos, especially one that showed the uses- and misuses – of the Amazon basin. It had rain, flowing rivers, trucks driving along its roads and so on…. It was a really lively model. I will post some photos of it here…….
I also made an interactive model of a convoy for the scheepsvaart museum (nautical museum in Amsterdam), which had all manner of special effects built into it – it was controlled by an Amiga 500!
Other than that, I simply made models for all manner of organisations, which I will show you (with loads of photos…….)
I had fun doing this.
