Hi,



Some time ago in the chat room, I promised some of You to show
some awesome pics of a recent exploit Marc Noelanders did,
and now I finally found the time to do it.

We already found out about Marcs feat in our monthly class at the time,
as he shortly mentioned it in a spirit which, to say the least,
best can be described as that of a kid in a toy store;
He ‘d really been having a ball on this one.

Meanwhile, some of these pics already appeared in the 87th issue (Jan.200 of the German magazine “Bonsai Art” (which all class members, including myself, ordered on the spot), and a compilation was also on display at
the recently held Noelanders’ Trophy IX.
But not all were, and especially the first and the last pic give some perspective to the size of the task accomplished.

As the job-in-progress pics were displayed behind glass,
I regret to say that I couldn’t capture these in a straight frontal way, because of obvious flashlight problems. So I had to shoot them at an angle.
Anyway, enjoy . . .





1. Frolicking in anticipation for the job ahead







2. Jeeez’ . . . What a whopper ! ! !







3.Early stages of design (2 pics)











4. Firehouse and other wizz tricks.







5. Finalising the work on the tree.







6. Recapturing the trees’ stages





7. Me next to a +-live sized pic ( 102% ) of the finished tree.
