Blade Runner's Police Spinner by Daumier Smith
As a fan of this 1982 film, I've seen models of this flying car vehicle before, but this has to be the best one yet! Highly detailed, free download. Thank you, Mr. Smith!

And Now for Something Completely Different
Found this little gem of a blog this morning. No models here, but brilliantly crafted paperwork.
People as old as me will remember "back in the day" doing Shadow Portraits; you would set up a light by the side of your face to leave a shadow of your profile onto a piece of paper taped to the wall. Someone would trace the outline of the profile and then it could be cut out, pasted to a background, and framed. A famous example of this are the pair of portraits of President's Washington and Lincoln found in many classrooms.
This artist has taken this technique to the next level.
Visit "Paper Cuts" by Olly Moss for wonderful Profile Portraits of many pop culture icons and well known personalities.
Take a look at these two and I think you'll see what I mean:

Back to Work
Health issues have kept me away. For far too long. Longer than I care to think about. But I'm back at it, determined to make up the time I've missed. Here's what's cookin' on my workbench at the moment.
You may recognize one of them; I started the Ghost House over 2 years ago. There's also an 'N' scale train that I foolishly started about 3 months ago (more on that some other time). And a quick build HP PC Model from the back of Maximum PC Magazine. So I'm trying to catch up on old projects and finish what I started. I've also had some time to catch up on some Blog browsing. There's a lot more of you out there! Showcasing some great work, too. I'll point you to some of the more interesting projects I've seen lately; some are bound to familiar to you, but to me, they're brand new! So once again I ask you to bear with me. I really do have some neat things I'd like to try. So stay tuned!

Aries IB Lunar Shuttlecraft from 2001: A Space Odessey
This is an incredibly detailed model of the ship used to transport humans to and from the moon in the film. Be sure to inspect other models created by this very talented Japanese designer, Uhu2. I really like the fact that the interior can be exposed. Attention to detail is astounding.
