Hanover wasn’t rich, just a small rural town.

Ordinarily there's no ping to modern history topics, but I'm pretty sure you'll all enjoy this one. Thanks lowbridge.

I would just love to have the time on my hands to do something like that. I’ve pretty much resigned to be taken out of work feet first some day now, but I’m glad someone can take the time to do something so nice as this.

I didn’t check to see if there are any miniature models of humans with the hood up on any of those cars. :’)

Wish I had the patience and the steady hand for it.
There was a one page article in the April Popular Science about a compressed-air-powered vehicle a couple of people had built almost entirely out of Lego, I probably could handle something like that. :’)

They were not made of burlap but of cotton. Even had flower prints so women could make dresses. The ones with the name brand on them were made into drawers. I remember and I am not that old.

"Wish I had the patience and the steady hand for it."When I was a kid and into war-gaming I use to paint small lead figures, usually I did the final details with a single strand of hair. Now my arms aren't long enough nor do they make a set of cheaters strong enough to even come close to what I could do then...

“The ones with the name brand on them were made into drawers.”
That’s funny.

Yeah, like you, my close-in vision would be perfect if my arms were about a foot longer. In the 1970s the lead miniatures were the rage with the D&D crowd (this was in college), but not everyone had the money, so a few were buying them and painting them, and one guy I knew took a larger scale (from a different manufacturer) and painstakingly whittled it down into some WWII era tank that no one made in miniature at the time, just to one-up the other major miniature collector in the dorm. It was hilarious. I have no idea how they found the time to go to school.

Its creepy. Like those old 60s movies where everyone in town has disappeared.I keep expecting to see some dude with brylcremed hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips changing a tire or something.

He places the camera so that you see real landscape and sky in the distance. Only the foreground buildings and cars are models.
