Atomic Robo is one of my favorite comics right now. If you've never read it or heard of it, go out and buy it now. Robo is the fictional creation of scientist Nikola Tesla, created in the early 1900s. All the stories are in miniseries format, some depicting present day and others depicting various times of his life. He fights monsters, vampires, robots, and the occasional talking dinosuar. Seriously, check it out, its good stuff.
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!

What Google Vision AI sees:
The image shows a book cover depicting a mushroom cloud resulting from an atomic bombing. In the foreground is a city skyline, suggesting the devastation of an urban area. The background is a vivid blue sky, which contrasts sharply with the destructive image of the atomic blast. A yellow shield-shaped emblem in the center proclaims "HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF", emphasizing the book's purpose. The cover shows signs of age and wear, suggesting it's a vintage publication.
The book cover appears to target a general audience; there are no specific individuals depicted. However, the implied audience is likely citizens living in fear of atomic warfare, expressing anxiety and concern. The emotions depicted on the cover are of fear and concern; the color palette contributes to the overall sense of impending doom. The cover's style suggests it was likely created in the mid-20th century, during a period of significant fear surrounding the atomic bomb. The subtle use of color and shading helps build up the image, even though the artwork is quite simple.
The cover uses simple, bold graphics and a straightforward layout, a technique common in educational material from that era. The style is easily understandable to different age groups and literacy levels. The use of bold colors (yellow and red) enhances the alarming nature of the message. The text is large and easy to read, maximizing visual impact and accessibility. The choice of imagery and language are designed to be clear and direct, making the message about the dangers of an atomic attack quickly apparent even to those with limited exposure to the topic.
The Atomic Arrow is an extremely fast speeder bike named after its dart-like shape and neon-green glow. Equipped with a gamma fusion engine, hard-light stabilizer wings, and powerful thrusters, this lean, mean, racing machine was built for speed! You can see it here racing down the Nightline City Raceway at breakneck speeds piloted by its rider Jade Lightning.
This is my Nightline City entry for the Lego Speeder Bikes Racing League contest.
in waldport, oregon, they burned down the old high school... it wasn't an accident -- a new school was built up out of the tsunami hazard zone and the waldport fire department used the old school for fire training... i came across it after seeing the plume from miles away... the smoke was thick and intense, and acted like a cool filter for the sun...
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.
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.

It was a master clock of Japan Standard Time (JST).

See you all there!
Prior to Atomic City being named Atomic City, the name was used to quickly define any city that grew up around the atomic energy industry (either for weapons or actual energy). Hanford, Washington was called that in passing. As was Idaho Falls. It was also the name of a race horse, but that doesn't really come into play here.
The Atomic City in question - the actually Atomic City located in Idaho - was originally called Midway. The name changed in 1950, but a year before, nearby Arco was being dubbed as "the atomic city" as well.
In March of 1950, this was all put to rest. In the Idaho State Journal out of Pocatello, they wrote: "Arco no longer is the atomic city and Midway will not be Midway in the future. That is the manner in which the atomic energy testing station is changing the geographical names of the Snake River Valley." This can be credited to John Weise.
John owned most of the land in and around Midway. In mid March, he signed papers making Midway "The Atomic City." Everyone was thrilled, I'm sure. John named the town to begin with, so ...
-'That leaves Arco, which has been known as the Atomic City, just Arco.' -

I must say, based on the quality of the material (Shapeways), these weapons are on their way to being amazing when injected with ABS.
I do however have a few concerns; mainly concerning the overall size. In my opinion, and I am unsure if this is material-related or not, but the weapons seem a bit thin. Preference-wise, I'd prefer them a little thicker.
While the general size on most of the weapons is great, I think that the fusion rifle could be upped a bit. It seems like a big gun in a tiny body.
Other than that these are great pieces, and Atomic Bricks definitely has potential. Pick these guys up and hit Atomic Bricks with a follow!
