1/50
I found this chair in
agence eureka http://bibigreycat.blogspot.com/ (http://bibigreycat.blogspot.com/)
After Pat Craft’s comments on how he appreciates old papermodels, an interest I also share, got curious to test one of these old models. It came out a nice surprise.
I resized it to fit an A5 page, four images per page, so ¼ of an A5. When comparing with the information available at Museu dos Coches, Lisboa
http://www.museudoscoches.pt/ (http://www.museudoscoches.pt/)
It looks like a scale 1/50. The stand measures 25 x 20mm.
As someone already mentioned here once, macro photos are great and terrible. They show a lot, including our shortcomings. I considered detailing it, specially the roof top that is little bare, using parts from the model. But since I have some doubts about the accuracy of the model, I let it go this way. The door in the model is on the side, I haven’t found examples of that solution and find it doubtful. It was usually on the front. It looks a little too narrow and lacks some kind of feet.
Even so I opened the windows and sandwiched plastic glazing between the elevation parts of the chair and an interior made of an image of red velvet. I reworked the seat also resizing image padded red velvet. The beams are two matchsticks sanded to have a rectangular section and painted with felt pens.
