"America's Leading Scale Model Builder / Architectural Models 'Fallingwater' Display Model" is the best visual depiction of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" that I've seen. And I'm something of a fan of Wright's work.
Aside from the artistry involved in creating this "museum-quality" model, photos on this page, from many angles and distances, show the complex three-dimensional design of this house at least as well as illustrations in 'serious' architectural texts. "Museum-quality" isn't, in my opinion, an exaggeration in this case.
The model is roughly two feet on a side, and on display at Architectural Models, in Norman, Oklahoma. They're selling a limited number of copies, and the price is "inquire." That translates into my dialect as "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."
Finally, I was surprised to find Toad, of "Frog and Toad are Friends," lounging against a terrace, his left arm resting on the terrace edge, in one photo. It struck me as a charmingly whimsical detail. Then I noticed that Toad's head was a decorative vase: see if you can see the same figure.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
