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.
this is part of a bunker in the midst of Berlin, Germany, close to Uhlandstr. . It was built in the 1970s in the time of Cold War and was meant to be inhabitated by about 3000 people for around two weeks. It was one of a handfull of survival bunkers in case of an atomic war.. all bunkers in Berlin altogether would have offered shelter for a maximum of 1 % of the population only. The bunker which is located beneath an underground parking lot was merely a symbol, a prospect of survival, while clearly noone would have survived a direct hit with a nuclear weapon.. it might have given protection against the fallout for a little time.. then people would have had to go back to a still quite radioactive and deadly surface...

The theme of my project 52 this week is intersecting... and Saturday morning pancakes gave me an idea... not necessarily a good idea - just an idea.
At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today.

In preparation for an upcoming project based on the '50's iconic American "Atomic Family" I wanted to practice editing some TV-like images. For this shot I used an old photo of a TV statue taken in Seattle's Freedemont District and blended in a recent photo of model Dede Brenner from a recent desert shoot.
Another psycho-selfie.
