Flying saucers and scooters

somewhat obsessed by both subjects, as you can see, the space lambretta actually started as a card model but the card got skinned with epoxy putty fifteen coats of primer paint and lacquer.
the r2 is an old one, very popular with the steampunk and starwars fraternities.

i anyones interested in colaborating i am currently drawing up some very detailed plans of a series two lambretta with a veiw to producing a decent model with a correct profile.
i am sure such a subject would be hugely popular, scooter enthusiasts tend to be practical hands on sorts.
there are a few good vespa models out there uhu's faro basso is sublime but try as i might i cant persuade him to do a lambretta

if it floats your boat there's a whole bunch of stuff like this over on my deviantart gallery even a few paper models.

OMG! Dude, I just looked at your site stuff. The very last thing I saw was "CRASH". You won't believe this but I'm in the middle of building my own "CRASH" at this moment. I will post a photo here for you in the morning. I'm working on how to build a 3D paper sculpt that I can put in a frame.

Your stuff is very cool, please post more. Thanks

been planning to do a diorama of crash for a good while, i have a guy working on the electronics for the lighting, and mini smoke machine
gonna start with the wiring on this one instead of it all being lashed together as an afterthought.
