Posted February 24, 20223 yr The brick-built model of a classic rotary telephone. Expand your collection with this wonderful black rotary telephone made in retro style! This model of a classic rotary telephone, made in 1:1 scale, will be a wonderful addition to your desk. The model is based on a rotary telephone that stood on the table of Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of The LEGO Group, which is noticeable in one of his famous photos. This telephone model will look great on a desk, shelf, or anywhere else. Feel the spirit of that era. More than half a century ago, phones were completely different from what they are now. At that time, they had no buttons at all, and dialing was carried out using a rotating disk. This brick-built model of a classic telephone will remind you of the rich history of phones. An exact copy of a real rotary telephone. This telephone model consists of 371 parts. It is executed with great precision. It includes details such as a rotating dial with a distinctive sound, a detailed handset and a realistic design. This project is also available on Mecabricks in 3D https://mecabricks.com/en/models/b82xnWeqv1z and on Lego Ideas bit.ly/telephonelegoideas .
February 25, 20223 yr Very nicely done, I'm old enough to remember using similar designs, just dial 'L' for LEGO! But, is the original so blocky along the cradle and handle? Also missing the cord from the back bottom that went hard-wired into a wall receptacle. Edited February 25, 20223 yr by JGW3000

Yes, the handset turned out slightly blocky, but I haven't yet figured out a way to connect the angled parts without using clips. Maybe there is some better solution? As for the cord, yes, it is possible to add it, but then to what place should it connect? Thank you again for your feedback.

March 2, 20222 yr Nice rendition of an antique phone. Haven't seen one of these in ages outside of a Hollywood production. You captured it well.
