Being
a model engineer is a lifestyle, and they have a passionate relationship
to precision and details. Normally, they hide at home in the basement –
with plastic gadgets, glue and paint – working on building miniature
worlds, which unmistakably look like the real one or a dream in which the
wildest fantasies are running freely.
In
January, they will emerge from the basement and make displays of what
passionate model engineering can lead to.
The library in the
Round
Tower
will be filled with
fire engines, submarines, aeroplanes, showy American cars, tanks, trucks,
and many other incredible and amazing miniature models. Some will stand
alone while others are built into environments in which all the
geographical and historical facts match the model.
The spectators will also get the chance to meet and talk to some of
the passionate engineers, who will be working in the workshop of the
exhibition.
“Model-making dreams of old boys” is an exhibition meant for the
fathers, children, bachelors, geeks, grandparents, and the rest of us, who
find it enjoyable to go exploring in the small model worlds where anything
is possible. One story after another will take shape – it is as if
scenes are taken out of a movie or a play, in which we are supposed to
expand on the story – and all the little details in the models are in
themselves worth a study.
