The Thunderbird is one of Ford's greatest nameplates, having been introduced as Ford's first 'sportscar' in 1955.
Ford used this original, first generation Thunderbird for the inspiration for the retrofuturistic eleventh generation Thunderbird in 2002. This extended even to the palette of pastel colours available on the series. Less effort was made in styling the interior with the period theme, and the car shared much visible hardware with its DEW98 platform brother, the Lincoln LS. Theis platform was also used on the retro-themed Jaguar S-Type stablemate.
This eleventh generation 2002 Thunderbird convertible (and optional hardtop) has been modelled in Lego miniland scale for Flickr LUGNuts' 81st build challenge, - 'Generation Gap', - featuring vehicles that have been produced in more than one generation (eleven in the case of the Thunderbird).
This model had also been part of a buddy challenge with Ralph Savelsberg (Mad Physicist), his entry being the forth generation 1966 Thunderbird featured in the film 'Thelma & Louise'.
This model also happens to be the first brick-built model I made in nearly two years - wow!
Returning to Elfia Haarzuilens after more than a decade of absence was literally a last minute decision based on the weather forecast (like: deciding on Friday afternoon to go on Saturday), but thanks to a very dear friend it was possible & it was a blast.

this illustration is from the april 21, 1961 issue of Life magazine. the issue mostly deals with yuri gagarin's successful mission to space and what it meant for america. to pick up everyone's spirits, life ran a bunch of illustrations to show what our spacecraft might look like if we ever got around to building any.
the caption (not visible) reads:
An Aerospace Cop to Help Police The Beat
"As vehicles of all kinds are spewed into space, the problem of policing the traffic will arise. Some of the objects will be harmless derelicts whose only crime is that they are blocking the road. Others, like thecluster of casings show drifting past earth (upper right) may turn out to be military platforms orbited by an enemy to release bombs on command. The U.S. must be prepared to look them all over from maneuverable interceptors, like this one, equipped with sensing devices to detect dangerous weapons and armed with rockets to destroy the offenders."
sounds exciting. it's interesting that nearly 50 years later, there is plenty of space debris, but we still don't even have more than two spacecraft in orbit at any one time, including the space station.
the other interesting thing to me is that in the context of the events of the day, there certainly seems to be a veiled threat against the soviets here, like "you might've gotten there first, but we are going to militarize space with these cool interceptors...so don't get any big ideas."
i scanned this image to add it to the new "In the Year 2000" group. life magazine was still large format back then, so the picture is larger than my scanner. sorry.

Retro-futuristic stories need not always be set in the future; in some cases they may be set in alternate versions of the past in which the dreams of science fiction writers and illustrators were a reality, as with the movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, set in an alternate 1939. (From Wikipedia)
Am I the only one that is living in a Steampunk world?
This robot, in special, looks like a totem of sorts.
At the 1994 North American International Auto Show, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept One, a "retro"-themed concept car with a resemblance to the original Volkswagen Beetle. Designed by J Mays and Freeman Thomas at the company's California design studio, the concept car was based on the platform of the Volkswagen Polo. A red cabriolet concept was featured at the Geneva Motor Show, also in 1994.
Strong public reaction to the Concept One convinced the company that it should develop a production version which was launched as the New Beetle in 1997 for the 1998 model-year, based on the Golf IV's larger PQ34 platform. The New Beetle is related to the original only in name and appearance (including the absence of a car emblem script with the exception of the VW logo). Volkswagen created a web site dedicated specifically to the 1.8T. A convertible was added for the 2003 model-year to replace the Volkswagen Cabrio.
The New Beetle carries many design similarities with the original VW Beetle: separate fenders, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps, and large round taillights, as well as a high rounded roofline. It was assembled in VW's Puebla factory in Mexico.
As for most of the models built his November, the Volkswagen New Beetle is a major redesign of a previously created model. In LUGNuts there was a build challenge named 'Redo or Redemption' just for this type of build.

A sort of retro-y space planet landing type diorama. Hope you like this. Additional pics of the figs and ray guns can be seen on my photostream.
The whole inspiration behind this came from the recent savage planet theme started by Soren and Gambort. I have to admit i "stole" the green goo pit idea from corran: www.flickr.com/photos/corran101/2572459848/

Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the etheric double of man. The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Seven major chakras or energy centers (also understood as wheels of light) are generally believed to exist, located within the subtle body. Practitioners of Hinduism and New Age Spirituality believe the chakras interact with the body's ductless endocrine glands and lymphatic system by feeding in good bio-energies and disposing of unwanted bio-energies.
Much of the original information on Chakras comes from the "Upanishads", which are difficult to date because they are believed to have been passed down orally for approximately a thousand years before being written down for the first time between 1200–900 BCE.
