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.

... not my skis but they made a good foreground for the great panorama of Bernese and Vallaisan Panorama ...
Camera Toss - A simple one, but with one of those serendipitous results, where the spin and exposure length were near perfect.

The Flickr Lounge, Abstract - hmm, well you can tell what it is, but I'd like to think that I'm focussing on the essence of the object, which would thus qualify it for Abstract (I hope).

Hiroshima 広島市, Japan 日本
This is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial also known as the Atomic Bomb Dome (originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall). The atomic bomb explosion was almost directly overhead and as a result the building was able to retain its shape. The ruin of the hall serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
A vinegar valentine, circa 1950s. It's possible that Atomic Boy escaped his deflated circumstances to grow up to be an Atomic Big Shot.

At work you show a lot of zip!
You act like you're on fire!
But when you get home you collapse
Just like an old flat tire!

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

A vinegar valentine from the Atomic Age. Or should it be called the Castor Oil Era?

Atomic Big Shot
Hey, jerk—you're not atomic!
All you do is rave and boil!
But I'll admit—you're jet-propelled
When you take—castor oil!!!
The AWRE (Atomic Weapons Research Establishment) at Aldermaston ran it's own fleet of non-psv buses including 12 Bedford YRQ / Willowbrook 001 B42D buses registered MBL941-5L and OJB327-33R. Wearing a livery not dissimilar to that used by the AERE at Harwell, OJB327R is seen next to the Altonian yard in Alton in February 1987. Also in shot is one of their Bedford YRQ / Marshall B42D batch registered HGM613-6N and one of their Bedford VAS / Wadham Stringer buses registered WDP991/2T.

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

Atomic City was called "Midway" until 1950, as it is halfway between the towns of Blackfoot and Arco. The town had a larger population when the neighboring Idaho National Laboratory site was newer, known as the "National Reactor Testing Station" until 1975.
