      Modeled this desk awhile back. Finally had time to do a render. Worked out the desks design from a picture I found on the "net". Rendered in Twilight. Enjoy....

        Very nice Midcentury Modern model, tuna. Could be right at home on the set of "Mad Men."
        Best,

            Very nice! Always thinking as one who might have to build it, I wonder what sort of method was used to attach the legs? Slanted as they are, there will be a tremendous amount of stress where they meet the carcass.

              I had that same thought, Steve. I'm guessing they wouldn't usually have such a low angle.

                Thanks everyone for the kind comments. πŸ˜„

                Wondered the same thing about the way the legs were attached in the real desk. Had good front and side view photos I worked from , so leg angle is pretty close to the original. Wondered if the "wood" leg is actually sleeved over a metal leg that is welded to a flange plate that is attached to the drawer boxes ? No big deal I don't plan on building one and it has a pretty good cool factor for my models. 😎
