      The author discusses the Ricci-flat `model metrics' on \(\mathbb C^2\) with cone singularities along the conic \(\{zw = 1 \}\) constructed by Donaldson using the Gibbons-Hawking ansatz over wedges in \(\mathbb R^3\). See [\textit{S. K. Donaldson}, in: Essays in mathematics and its applications. In honor of Stephen Smale's 80th birthday. Berlin: Springer. 49--79 (2012; Zbl 1326.32039)]. In particular, he describes their asymptotic behaviour at infinity and computes their energies.
