Modern gadgets, 1970's style
« on: 05 September 2012, 06:59:35 AM »
For potential inspiration for (mostly pulp) gamers, tho it may be difficult to realize the needed detail in 28mm (never mind smaller) scales...

Anyway, for once it's something else than the constant "steampunking" of stuff (article doesn't get by without mentioning the buzzword however).

Great find, makes me wonder how things would have turned out if we had stuck culturally and aesthetically (sp?) in the 70s but technology would have marched on like it did :)

I love it! Great find...  8)

This would be of major interest to the SpyFi crowd I reckon.
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I'm a firm believer in formicapunk.  Retro 70-80's style.

Also the adds imply that somebody took current cell phone, laptop etc tech back in time and produced them with 1977 design aesthetics.
