Adirondack Chair

Another of my fat models. You could build real ones from this model if you wanted to, though.

Thank you.

Thanks Dave. It looks good and will be useful.

You're welcome, gentlemen.
Ross, you need a few of these to sit in after you've mowed the lawn and while you're waiting for your lobsters to boil. I suppose the lawn doesn't get much attention this time of year though, does it?
Cheers,
Dave

Lawn is buried under snow. Lawn tractor is stuffed into the garage. River has frozen over. Nothing is growing in our greenhouse. Our grapefruit trees (three at 5 feet high) are now inside the house. Christmas lights are up. Family is cocooned inside waiting for Santa. It sure isn't summer but it is a nice time of year.
This year we bought some plastic adirondack style chairs. They are molded to look very much like wood ones. We often get the wind gusting so we have to be able to easily move lawn furniture around so the plastic is very practical. They are bright pink, yellow, and lime green and look pretty good in the context of our weathered cedar shingle 'beach' house.
With regards to adirondack chair components... The Formfonts one I have typically used is one of my most frequently used components. I find that they help bring scale to quick massing models of houses & cottages. They also help the client feel the mood I want them to feel. These chairs are like 'comfort food' -- reaching deep back into our memories of childhood fun at the cottage. I find they really do trigger such memories in most of my clients.
Regards, Ross
Season's greetings to all!

Ross, we're in the same conditions as you are except we haven't got a greenhouse or grapefruit trees.
My brother bought some Adirondack chairs made out of the plastic-wood decking--Trex or whatever--they are nice because they don't need to be refinished and they are heavy enough so they won't blow away.
I know what you mean about them adding a nice touch to the mood of a model.
Best of the holidays to you.
