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!

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.
The beach at Dungeness is the largest shingle peninsula in Europe. It's quite a sight, with lighthouses, wooden cottages and other abandoned buildings dotted across the area. There are also two nuclear power stations. This is a shot of Dungeness A, the older of the two, which ceased generating electricity in December 2006.
Carla, who was attracted to the atomic bokeh, asked me to say HBW!
Part of the ministract set.
Yes this was the thunder storm clouds that you saw , it was traveling very fast , <15min it was on top of me , PS again for viewing pleasure , hope that i don get in the habit of doing it .

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.' -

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/

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!

The A-Bomb Dome is the surviving part of a building that was close to the center of the first atomic bomb explosion on August 6, 1945. The building, which was designed by a Czech architect in 1915, had been used as the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. It stands as the symbol of Hiroshima, the "Peace City".

I also took an evening photo of this building, which is at flic.kr/p/Hu7rbG
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!
