Actually I really have enough ideas floating around my mind that I'd want to realize. This one had been bugging me for some time now and today I finally had some time to tackle it.

Concepts/WIP Barracks "C"
LDD concepts I'm currently working on creating with real bricks.
Module to include into larger MOC. I'm trying to decide which barracks works the best.

Toyota has had some very interesting concept cars at the Auto Show over the past few years (I might point out, more interesting than what the Big 3 are showing). This one is no exception... not sure what to make of it, but it is thought-provoking (which is what concept cars should be.
A good showing this year for Toyota, I would say.

The concept of Pack artillery was developed by the U.S Army and dates back to 1830. It was designed to be easily disassembled and transported by animal, thereby making it ideal for deployment in rugged terrain. An airborne crew was expected to be able to ready their gun for firing from scratch inside of four minutes.
The first variant of the 75mm Pack Howitzer entered service in 1927, but did not fire a shot in anger until World War Two, where it proved itself to be an effective and reliable weapon. Improvements were made upon the original M1 design throughout the 1930's, culminating in the M8, exclusively modified for the airborne role.
In February 1943, the 1st Airlanding Light Regiment was equipped with these guns, replacing the inferior 3.7 in Pack Howitzers, and twenty-four of them were used at Arnhem. The American airborne units parachuted their guns into action in nine sections, roped together, however the British preferred to deliver them complete and ready for firing as soon as possible, and so transported them in Horsa gliders. Two gliders were required to transport a gun crew and their equipment.
Typically, one would carry the weapon itself, a jeep, and an ammunition trailer, together with the sergeant in command of the crew and three subordinates, while the other would carry the remainder of the crew (commonly including one NCO) a jeep, and the remaining two ammunition trailers. In those trailers were one hundred and thirty-seven rounds, one hundred and twenty-five high-explosive, six armour piercing, and six smoke.
The 75mm Pack Howitzer was a classic design that excelled during the war and continued to serve as a front line weapon many years thereafter. Indeed it was only in recent times that it was still in use with the Indian Army, where it served as mountain artillery, its reliability, accuracy, and ease of deployment succeeding in disguising its age.

Lamborghini Egoista Concept
An emotional moment in Sant'Agata Bolognese at the culmination of the gala celebrating Lamborghini's 50th anniversary: Walter De Silva's incredible vehicle made its entry in front of a thousand invitees, the Head of Design for the Volkswagen Group's homage to celebrating the House of the Raging Bull's half century. "I am very attached to this Italian brand, being an Italian myself. I wanted to pay homage to and think up a vehicle to underline the fact that Lamborghinis have always been made with passion, and with the heart more than the head," said an emotional De Silva.
Indeed the Egoista, as the vehicle has been christened, is a car forged from a passion for innovation and alternative solutions, the same passion which has always set the Lamborghini brand apart. "This is a car made for one person only, to allow them to have fun and express their personality to the maximum. It is designed purely for hyper-sophisticated people who want only the most extreme and special things in the world. It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista (selfish)," De Silva further explained.
The supercar's debut was equally spectacular, with a cinematic entry announced by a trailer projected onto the nine big screens in the room. The stage was transformed into a landing strip, with a top model in a flight suit guiding the Egoista's arrival with ground crew light paddles, and the roar of the V10 engine shaking the 20-meter-tall tensioned event structure: this is the spectacle the VIP guests were treated to when Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann entered at the wheel of the Egoista, before inviting its creator, Walter De Silva, to join him on stage.

Concept and technology
Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine supplying it with 600 horsepower, the Lamborghini Egoista is an intentionally extreme and unusual vehicle with absolutely unique characteristics, created by the Volkswagen Group design team - Alessandro Dambrosio responsible for the exterior and Stefan Sielaff for the interior, in particular. De Silva's team chose to create a single-seater, pushing all the characteristics in Lamborghini's make-up meaning pure driving pleasure, performance and style beyond their limits. The cockpit, designed like a tailor-made suit for the driver, is a removable section which, once combined with the rest of the vehicle, creates a perfect technical, mechanical and aerodynamic unit. Inspiration, as per Lamborghini tradition, once again comes from the world of aviation, and in particular the Apache helicopter, where the cockpit can be ejected in an emergency.
"The cockpit, made completely of carbon fiber and aluminum, represents a sort of survival cell, allowing the driver to isolate and protect themselves from external elements," De Silva explained."We kept an eye on the future when designing the Egoista, with the idea that its cockpit could have been taken from a jet aircraft and integrated into a road vehicle, to provide a different travel option."
The design
The exterior is characterized by two fundamental aspects: its architecture, and the materials used. The design is determined by a highly muscular structure, in which empty and solid areas fit together with strength and vigor. The bodywork is dominated, on its sides, by the stylized profile of a bull preparing to charge, its horns lowered. The bull is driving towards the front wheels, conferring a futuristic dynamism and lines which are already, in themselves, highly aggressive. Naturally, this is a homage, a bold stylistic citation which can only be a reworking of the Lamborghini brand icon, the well-known raging bull. The challenge of efficiently inserting the Lamborghini symbol as an integral part of the bodywork was met courageously and artistically. The plan view reveals a trimaran profile, where the central hull forms a unique section with the cockpit, underlined by the carbon-fiber cover on the front hood.
The upper part of the vehicle does not have aerodynamic appendages, but rather flaps integrated in the bodywork profile which act automatically depending on the driving conditions. Two rear flaps activate automatically at high speeds to increase stability, while a series of air intakes on the back of the engine hood provides the cooling air flow to the powerful V10 power plant. While the front of the vehicle has a profile intended to increase downforce, the rear is fully open with the mechanics in view, reducing weight but also with the result of creating a more aggressive look. The Lamborghini Egoista's lights are more like an aircraft's than a road vehicle's. It does not have traditional headlights, rather LED clearance lights which determine its position not just on a single plane such as the road, but rather in three dimensions, as is required in airspace. Two white front lights, two red rear lights, a red flashing light in the upper part of the tail, two orange bull's eyes as side markers, and a further two lights on the roof, red on the left and green on the right, make this four-wheeled UFO unique even in the dark. Finally, hidden behind the front air intakes at the base of the join between the central body and the two side sections, are two powerful xenon headlamps, two eagle's eyes able to scan the darkness for great distances. As it is made from lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon-fiber, the vehicle has no-walk zones, duly marked like on airliners. The parallels with the world of aeronautics do not end here, however, as the body is made from a special antiradar material, and the glass is anti-glare with an orange gradation. The rims are also made from antiradar material, flat and rough, embellished with carbon-fiber plates to improve their aerodynamics.
Interior
The cockpit's interior is extremely rational, its functionality taken to the extreme. There is a racing seat with a four-point seatbelt, each strip a different color, the airbags, and the bare minimum of instruments. The focal point of these is a head-up display, typical of jet fighters. To get out of the vehicle, the driver must remove the steering wheel and rest it on the dashboard, open the dome with an electronic command, stand up in their seat, sit down on a precise point of the left-hand bodywork, then swivel their legs 180 degrees from the inside of the cockpit to the outside of the vehicle. At this point they can set their feet down and stand up. Even in getting out of the vehicle, the Lamborghini Egoista requires a pilot more than a driver, a real top gun.
The philosophy
The Egoista contains, in Walter De Silva's opinion, all the product criteria which are part of Lamborghini's make-up. "It's as if Ferruccio Lamborghini were saying: I'm going to put the engine in the back, I don't want a passenger. I want it for myself, and I want it as I imagine it to be. It is a fanatical vehicle, Egoista fits it well."
If Lamborghinis are cars for the few, this one goes further. It is a car for itself, a gift from Lamborghini to Lamborghini, resplendent in its solitude. The Egoista is pure emotion, Never Never Land, which no one can ever possess, and which will always remain a dream, for everyone.
This was actually hanging from a wall at the Larz Anderson Museum, which made it difficult to photograph. I think it dates from about 1980.

There are always some fascinating concept cars at Advanced Manufacturing trade show at the NEC, 30/10/24
A collaboration of Alfa Romeo and Bertone."Berlinetta Aerodinamica Technica". Five speed, four cyclinder, 90 bhp, top speed 125 mph.
Concept Travel was owned by a former UC employee who ran various older coaches and deckers on some tendered work for Beds CC, his fleet never contained more than 2 vehicles at a time. By Sept 89 former Barton PTV 600X a Bedford/Plaxton Supreme express was part of the fleet. He disappeared for a while but has returned with a new venture.
I know I deserve to be arrested for Crimes Against Diecasts for buying this but surely I'm allowed a guilty pleasure purchase once in a while? :-0
I truly despair at the domineering force of HTI generics and was hoping that buyer indifference would see this rapidly growing toy company rethink its strategy on the 1/64 models it supplies but alas no, they have just gone ahead and brought out some fresh new generics! I bought this one simply because it has more than a passing resemblance to the aborted VW Microbus Concept vehicle from the early 2000's. More than a passing resemblance in fact judging by the fake VW esque badge on the front and its two tone colour scheme! Charming in a nasty cheapo cynical kind of way though as ever I will credit HTI for making the bodies in sturdy weighty metal and giving the majority of their castings a flawless paint finish and clear plastic lenses for headlights. Bought from ASDA where they are sold under the Adventure Force brand. Mint and boxed.

Quality of concept board to relate to the brief:
Concepts can often be hard to get your head around initially but you’ve done particularly well, this is lovely. It conjures up a real sense of calm and space. The Ferris Wheel and dandelion seed pictures are fantastic.
You can afford to be quite abstract with concept images and you’ll find the more abstract the easier they are to work from. Concentrate on colour, texture and mood as these are the elements of the pictures you will be working with to create a scheme.
Often the most successful concepts are very simple, I would suggest restricting yourself to a maximum of 5 good quality large images.

Professional presentation, well done.
