BAUMETALL Presents Handcrafted Stellar Moments: Between Masterworks and Galactic Tinsmith Precision

It is where you can see what happens when technical expertise meets true passion.

Another impressive testament to master craftsmanship is the tinsmith spaceship created throughout the entire trade fair at the BAUMETALL stand by Friedrich “Scotty” Reinbold. The master tinsmith from Carinthia is a true authority in his field – the construction of aircraft models made from titanium zinc. In Cologne, “Scotty” merges the best of three worlds: the precision of modern laser technology, the traditional production of architectural ornaments, and the uncompromising quality of classical tinsmith craftsmanship in titanium zinc. The result is an approximately 80-centimeter-long zinc model that bears a striking resemblance to the iconic TV spaceship Enterprise.

This masterful attention to detail once again highlights why the tinsmith’s craft is so fascinating. Whether creating futuristic models or working with durable building metals, the focus is always on creating values that endure for generations and impress through their aesthetics. This is precisely the topic that the trade magazine BAUMETALL has been dedicated to for over 40 years. Not without reason, it is the leading publication for metal roofing and façade technology.

At the BAUMETALL exhibition stand, trade visitors will have the opportunity to watch the creation of this fascinating spaceship live and take part in a competition. Anyone who correctly estimates the number of individual titanium zinc components that make up Scotty’s tinsmith masterpiece will have the chance to take the finished one-of-a-kind piece home at the end of the trade fair. In addition, another exciting surprise awaits professional visitors. Curious? Then beam yourself directly to Hall 8, Exhibition Stand 425 in Cologne.
