Oops, finished but no photo

Sometimes I finish a puzzle but forget to snap a photo. I found two cases where I have in-progress photos, but none of the completed puzzle.

Atlantic City, Eurographics, 1000 pieces. Completed on July 9th, 2017.

This was the first puzzle I completed in my flat in Dortmund, but I was in such a hurry to get onto the next one that I forgot to take a photo after I finished. We also did it at work later, but I don’t have a photo from then either 🙂 It’s a nice puzzle, and I expect I will do it again one day.

This was a complete misfire, of course, but I kind of like it 🙂

The second puzzle is a bit naughty, but most of the details are missing 🙂

83 Positions of the Kama Sutra, Boxer, 1000 pieces. Completed on February 19th, 2009.

I did finish this, although the quality was really bad. I’ve never heard of the brand, Boxer, and I’m pretty sure they usually don’t produce jigsaw puzzles 🙂

Sadly, I see from my records that I have finished more than 70 puzzles in the last 12 years for which I have no photos 😦

Boeing Advertising Collection, Eurographics, 1000 pieces. Completed on January 26th, 2019.

A collage of vintage aircraft ads. It occurred to me that aircraft ads are a bit strange. Airline ads I understand, but the customers of aircraft producers are surely airline execs, not the general public. You can, of course, try to make a type of aircraft so popular that airlines will want to buy it to satisfy customer demand, but it seems kind of a long shot.

Several ads were from the war, here Mustangs are heading out to help in the battle of Britain.

There were a couple of these with giant, athletic-looking men. A bit strange…

… but not as strange as this! “War planes, too, need smooth complexions”. Are they selling aircraft or moisturizer?

This was my favourite.
