Wow. These are amazing. What a junk shop find!! I'm so glad they found their way to being appreciated for the skill and dedication they clearly required. Made for the satisfaction of the maker, but inspiring to so many others.

They're wonderful! I love all the little balconies and porches.

Wonderful indeed! This reminds me of Charles Young's Paperholm.

Absolutely beautiful.
Outsider art is so often the most fascinating.

Maybe Mr. Fritz was working on a bespoke strategy game, but we don’t have the rules.
