Mr Christian found a simply marvellous site today!  It’s the webpage (in French, but there are copious images) of a model maker called Nemotechnik – and as you might imagine, there’s a lot of Jules Verne inspired models!  From images of the balloon from “Five Weeks in a Balloon” to the above model from “From the Earth to the Moon” (first and second class available, to multiple models and dioramas based on “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”!  It’s all delightfully Steampunk – with tiny rivets and beautiful craftmanship, right down to the harpoon cable held while trying to jab a mighty sea creature.

This gentleman craftsman has a simply disarming eye for detail, and an obvious love for his country’s Science Fiction father’s work.  Simply stunning.
