Brachacki Console Room Chairs

[deck5]

A close-up of the 1:6 scale chairs I made to go with the Mooncrest console.

We don't have a <3 reaction on here but I have a slight obsession with those chairs and I love these

Wait, I know you like your Mk1 console unit 1:6 but why did you make chairs with it, it's just pointless, it's nice to have but why?

Please answer, why did you make chairs?

That's not a very nice thing to say, is it?
It's like asking somebody, "Why do you draw? It's pointless, isn't it?"

For fun, my man.  For fun.

Because why not...?

Richman695, I think you actually answered your own question here:

...why did you make chairs with it, ... , it's nice to have

And I must agree with nebula; the rest of your comment, in the way you said it, was rather rude.

Sorry guys, I was not trying to be rude, I was just saying what I felt about the whole thing, I didn't mean to upset any of you,

Now, I feel sorry for myself for saying that, I wish I never wrote that  ,

But in my eyes, if you gave that to me as a gift I would love it, I really don't know what I was taking about, all well, it's just me, but it looks great even if it's a 1:6 model, it's smashing.

Sorry if you guys hate me for saying that,

- Rich

It's not a case of anyone hating anybody - it's a case of how things can be read.

Unlike the spoken word where people can hear the intonation in someone's voice, with the written word there are none of the 'clues' which intonation would provide. Therefore what - in your mind - sounded completely innocent, could be interpreted by others as rudeness on your part.

I'm sure no-one hates you and no-one minds being asked a question but, how the question is phrased is as important as the question itself.

I love the chairs! Are you going to do any other items for the console room?

Just for the record.... I hate everyone    but I hate everyone equally. It's just my thing. I am a curmudgeon.

I'd like to do the Westminster clock, just trying to figure out the best way to manage it.

I wasn't affected by it being rude, just confused by the question.  Nothing, and I mean nothing, we make on this board has any point to it, or any justification outside of our own entertainment.  Not my 1:6 chairs, not my police box, not your console, not one bit of it.  What makes my chairs any different from any other prop replica featured here, such that you'd need to ask why I made them in particular?

Rich, I think Tony Farrell summed things up very eloquently. The written word (unless you're writing a novel that deals with dialogue and you have to express how the character is saying something) has no inflections, no intonations, maybe just as importantly, no facial expressions for a visual read. I sometimes find this frustrating because - as many members here will no doubt attest to - I'm pretty much a nutter, goofball, off-the-wall kind of person and have difficulty injecting my humor into discussions. Quite often I have needed to result to inserting loads of "smileys", images (of various kinds), etc. just to get the intended humor across. (And if you ever come across one of those posts of mine that has an odd image in it because I've used it for humor, feel free to save the image and use it in your posts if needed.)

The images can help, as can adding an "aside" in angle brackets <he says using those brackets to show off his level of goofballness>. It's my level of the Shakespearean method of adding a dialogue that only the reader/audience is intended to hear a character in his play speak, even though the character on stage us surrounded by others, who apparently don't hear the character speaking... if you get my meaning. It's a way of letting people know that extra bit of dialogue is in your head that you can't inflect or facially express in what you write.

Anyway, like Tony says, no one here hates you. We're one big family, and just like a family someone occasionally says something that sounds not as intended, and other family members pipe up and say "Oi! That was a little harsh, wasn't it?" In the end just as in any family all is forgiven because that spoken word differs so much from the written word.

Am I making sense?

Nothing, and I mean nothing, we make on this board has any point to it, or any justification...

BLASPHEMY!

...outside of our own entertainment.

Well... okay; you've successfully un-blasphemed yourself there.

What makes my chairs any different from any other prop replica featured here, such that you'd need to ask why I made them in particular?

Now that is a good question! And it's the sort of question that had been asked before - on both sides: the "Why did you build that?" side, and the "Why do you ask?" side (other than, as the saying goes about the mountain, "because it's there" - or more like paraphrasing it, "Because I wanted to").

Loads of people ask such questions; they just have to read their question to themselves before clicking the "Post" button to hear how it sounds to them, not in their heads, but to their ears. Sometimes all it takes is a little tweaking to say the same thing, but in a different way.

Dino.

Hi deck5,

Did you take any shots during the construction of these little beautys ?

What are they made from ?

Cheers

Do you have the dire-grams?
