Cinderella tableau

Hi,
As some light amusement I recently finished this charming vintage 4-way tableau showing scenes from Cinderella. I found it on the wonderful Agence Eureka site, the 17th March 2009 entry:

Agence eureka

I've worked out that it's a Danish model but not much beyond that so far.

The tableau is mounted on a disc of thick card and uses a nut, bolt and washers to rotate on a bit of hardboard underneath.

The one obvious mistake I made is to put the connecting bridge too low down. I need to colour the edge of the disc and trim back the hardboard a bit too - photos always reveal what the eye doesn't see!

It really is a beautiful little model and many thanks to Agence Eureka for giving it another chance to come to life.

Charming is definitely the word. You can spend days at the Agency Eureka site and not see everything

Thanks guys, yes, there's some great things on there. There's one with a mine that could be interesting as a model, though I haven't worked out yet how it goes together. More projects!

You know, that is really nice and something I wouldn't have thought of building. I've got to start looking outside of my box which contains mainly airplanes and tanks. There's a whole big paper model world out there to be explored.

Agence eureka is a good place to start, there were all kinds of card models back in the early 20th century. Mostly designed for children, and card modelling appears to have been taught in school as a way of getting boys (exclusively back then) to begin learning to design and make things. Not so different from being a metalwork fitter in some ways, you're learning to design a 3d object in 2d and then unfold it to produce the real thing. I suppose with the decline of manafacturing in this country the skills weren't valued any more. Damn shame but my young son will be doing some card work as he gets older!

It is indeed a Danish publication. The Illustreret Familie Journal was a magazine founded in 1877 which used to publish a paper model in every edition for many years. The magazine changed name, but still exists - it is now published in Norway, called Allers. Look for Illustreret Familie Journal on Google images and on Wikipedia.

Thank you, I'll have a look at that. Any idea what kind of date this one would have been published?

This is a very charming model. I especially like the greenery in the center courtyard. Don't worry too much about the position of the bridge, it's nothing a little water color won't take care of.
