The FischerTechnik® Collection

For many years I was waiting for somebody taking the challenge. All I had was a fuzzy set of photographs (by William Gibson) found on Richard Egge's homepage.

But in 2010 Thomas Püttmann suddenly flooded by mailbox with marvelous designs (see below). To contact him look for "geometer" in the ftCommunity.


A litte later Frank Jakob published a very neat design in the ftCommunity. I just took the liberty to bring the indicator wheel to the center for the construction shots.

Hopefully this will not be the last we see of this classic German construction kit!
