Saturday, June 25th 2016 Conrad Modelle celebrated in grand style the 60th anniversary of the company.
Friend, Caterpillar scale model collector and professional photographer Thomas Wilk from TCC Photowork was invited and made an exclusive photo shoot of his visit to this special day in the history of Conrad Modelle in Nuremberg.
Conrad
Modelle (previously Gescha) is a German manufacturer of Diecast scale
models primarily in 1:50 scale for use both as toys and promotional
models by heavy equipment manufacturers. Conrad had the Caterpillar line
of construction vehicles starting late 1960s through about 1992, but
then the licenses changed over to Norscot.
Conrad
is a name that stands for the art of taking a different view of things,
which is what their business is all about. Only at first glance does
the appeal of a miniature lie in its size – what is much more important
is the ability of discovering maximum detail in minimum dimensions. This
process begins in the mind – or, more accurately, with a well-trained
eye.
Conrad’s Vision
The company’s special approach of realizing small-scale models is both based on the aspects of tradition as well as innovation to ensure the products high quality and visible accuracy in detail.
Günther Conrad has been running the company since 1987. Supported by his wife Gerdi – and now also by their daughter Christine – the Conrad Company is a perfectly managed family-owned company.
At the open house to celebrate the
60th anniversary were family, friends, relations and collectors from
around the world treated to a huge event in and around the company.
Outside were 1:1 examples of the scale models produced by Conrad. Inside
there was the opportunity to visit both the museum as well the very
rare chance to see the production facility where one could assemble the
60th anniversary model itself. A unique glimpse behind the scenes.Conrad
