Title: The Fabulous Bakery Boys
Post by: Hadoque on December 05, 2011, 00:28:07

Just some pics as a kind of tribute to the medieval steck-bakery.  :)
For the (very) young ones: the thread-title is based on a well known movie with actor Jeff Bridges.

It is still very early in the morning, when supplies are brought to the bakery by the baker's apprentice... (it looks like he has been apprenticing for many years ;D )

Inside the bakery, as usual the baker and his wife are already preparing their daily work...

A bright morning-sun is setting when they are finally ready to open up the shop...
The baker's wife makes sure that everything is properly displayed at the shop's counter.

Great pictures, i also like the ones with the sunlight. However, all of them are nice and somehow they do remind me of paintings of Jan Steen.

Yes, Jan Steen and what about Johannes Vermeer? Playful use of light.... fantastic.

Hadoque knows the Dutch and Flamish masters....  Great!!!!!

Ditto! I immediately thought of Vermeer. And of course the TV ads for Nestlé's La Laitière. I guess you have them too in Belgium. The lighting is perfectly mastered. Thanks for posting.

Very nice scene and story Hadoque. :)
Does this come with the new bakery, or did you add the furnace? :o

Thanks guys, glad you like the pics!  :)

I haven't made them with a specific painter in mind, though I am by education quite familiar with the great Dutch & Flemish masters  ;)  Having the pics compared to some extent with their work is very flattering!!  :-[ :-[

Brubil visited me past Sunday and brought me a German DS-bakery I asked for (the original one is somewhere stashed away in a box, God knows which one  ::) ) and I thought of making a little scenery with it.
I swapped the German-language stickers for customs, because the plan is to use the bakery in an 18th-century Carribean or English porttown.
(question that remains: will the DS-bakery for the export markets - if it gets exported outside Germany- include English/French/etc.-language stickers, like the ones that were included with the original Steck-houses??  ???)

The furnace came with the seperate kitchen-set of the previous Fairytale-castle:

Great photos Erwin. I love your use of light and totally see the Dutch masters comparison.  Just a lovely little story
