With mobile phone models becoming obsolete very quickly and their replacements ever more expensive I thought that, this week, we might return to a slower paced age. So I've modelled an old "candlestick" phone, textured it in Adobe Substance Painter, and rendered two views.
This weekend's challenge is to put it in a scene or make something else with it. Will you take us to a bygone age, find a new use for the phone, or ignore the brief entirely and go off at a tangent? 🙂
The “rules”:
To download either image at 2000 x 3000 pixels, with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun.
Dave

It works perfectly for carmelizing the topping on Crème Brûlée, Dave 😊

I'm thinking Bunson Burner, and all those strange and wonderful experiments we did in the school chemistry class, like making nitroglycerin — it was a tough school. 😉

A multi-purpose tool: welding, carmelizing, and a Bunson Burner 😊

Now that was a fine point, Dave, undoubtedly true, I believe it may also take longer to get the message through.

The Big-Endians would say your egg is upside down, Jacob. Wars have been fought over this.

Argh, Jane, I had managed to keep out of those wars for about half a century as a Neither-Endian, and had long forgotten about them.

For some reason when I look at your post in Chrome, it's not showing me the image. It does in Firefox and MS Edge.

Dean,
Strangely, Bob and Rafael have just reported the same about this one,
It seems to be only Chrome. I wonder whether it is a new setting that may be reversed.

Progress Graham. It just needs a screen now. 🙂

The irony of your image is that I'd be very susprised if someone somewhere does not actually make an olde worlde telephone in a digital flavour.
