Hello All,
First, a small quiz for you lot: Can you figure out what parts I’ve used to
build the inlet grating of the storm drain seen in the following picture? And
how I’ve attached those and the lid of the drain?
I’m trust that many of you are able to solve this puzzle. As you can see in
the picture, the top of the grill tiles are about half a plate higher as the
surrounding “pavement”-tiles.
This detail is part of a (16x16) Bignette depicting a “Keep Them
Rolling”-procession:

Building a Bignette is a traditional contest called “Mini Moc Madness” during
“Lowlug”-events, each time round a theme given some time in advance. For our
latest gathering the assignment was “orange sentiment”, obviously refering to
the colour Dutch
soccer fans dress in, and other
likewise related
madness, but it can also be linked to the
Dutch royal family
(House of Orange) and in my case, to the liberation of The Netherlands in
1944-1945.
The Jeep is not my design, but part of a (discontinued) custom set by Daniel
Siskind.
“Keep them Rolling” is an association of individuals who
restore and preserve second worldwar vehicles. Although they hold events all
year round, the organisation is best known for participating in processions
round Liberation Day (May 5th), in hounour of the brave man who freed Europe
from Nazi occupaton in 1945.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
