Well, here it is. My second and final entry into the 100th Lugnut's challenge
I picked No. 98 and my assignment was to build any bubble top car.
I was originally going to build The Homer but settled for something a little more exciting and more my speed.
And once again I had tons of fun building and photographing this beauty.
The majority of the building got finished in the last few days and as one usually does there best work when under pressure I'm pretty satisfied with the result.
There are a few areas that I would have liked to spend more time tackling but hey, you need to stop at some point.
Thanks once again Lugnuts for another super fun challenge!
Let me know what you think.
Items left behind in one of the abandoned middle schools in Pripyat.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

The City of Peace, Hiroshima, is a city that has managed to recover from utter destruction. The people there now are some of nicest people I have ever met. The gardens and cherry blossoms are back, but the A Bomb Dome remains as a constant reminder...

Richland, WA remembers the beginning of the Manhattan Project, 75 years ago. Music and dancing in the park recall the 40s and 50s.

Pictured here, Zimelda Zemeckis, now a public deterrent to the unravelling and villainous entity the Umbra, slides through a room in search of a person she believes is connected to the elusive organisation. Her life, now a wild and dangerous ghost ride for justice, fighting alongside aurors, as part of a shadow faction, tasked with locating, and stopping the Umbra in their tracks. A secret agent of the Ministry, a turned soul, a target for the Umbra - an Atomic Blonde.

Powered by an atomic energy ball and built with a diamond/titanium hybrid alloy, this small bot can lift incredible weight and sustain massive forces, which makes it ideal for a number of tasks such as car throwing, wall smashing, and taking things apart really fast....just don't ask him to put it back together. Impulsive, irrational, and indestructable - this bot has a set of characteristics that end up getting him into trouble.
The flow of bots never cease, I really should build something else, but new head ideas just keep popping up - and you really should have a body to go with them. Some ideas here taking from my previous bots, so not really a whole lot of new stuff going on.
Building used by the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment to test parts of nuclear bombs. The columns are failing, the roof will eventually collapse into the building below.

everlasting bedrock and its fatal chains

U.S. Highway 26 used to pass right through Atomic City, but a newer alignment takes it a few miles to the east. Because of that and the decreased workforce at Idaho National Laboratory, Atomic has seen most of its population leave, leaving it just 25 residents, most of whom are old. A raceway in Atomic City brings weekend visitors to the town.

Atomic Ranch celebrates the optimism of the Atomic Age. A time in post war America where the future was bright and architecture and design mirrored that optimism. The dream of owning your own post and beam style rancher and a Detroit automobile were well within reach. The space age signaled in a new era and the future never seamed so bright. Of course there was a constant threat of nuclear annihilation, but you could always excavate your yard to make way for a fall out shelter.
This was inspired by one of my favorite Mod style magazines; Atomic Ranch. A great resource for all your Mid-Century style needs.
The model is lighted with Blinky Bricks lights. www.blinkybricks.com/
