My grandson, Kellen, is a rising junior in a university’s Industrial Design program. (And doing very well!) One of his last assignments ending his sophomore year was to model a camera - the kind of camera was given randomly by the professor, a full size model using only a small sheet of foam board. His camera was the Hasselblad. When he was home briefly before going to Prague for a summer design study program he came over to share with us his projects from the spring semester and surprised me with this model camera. It appears perfect in its detail and dimensions and I am pleased to display it on a shelf in our living room.
There is an old Mastercard ad campaign that lists a couple of costs and then something you can’t buy with the tag line “priceless” I’m not sure what a foam board costs or modern glue but having a super grandson, Priceless.
The name of the camera was hand carved on a thin sheet of foam and glued on.
