Okay, that bar/restaurant made me laugh out loud! So much fun and character in that one with the bazillion signs. Absolutely stunning!

Are the two robot toys used in the conversions or see they just inspiration
Great work  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Where do you get all your robots
Is that a 28mm scale Bender robot on the ice-cream cart?

Thanks for everyone's interest. I am happy to bring amusement through this project.

The retro tin toys are images gleaned from the Internet. My models are made with card with bits of plastic added. The robots are from the defunct company Mega Miniatures. The owner, Johnny Borg run a few kick-starters a year and sometimes he includes access to his old castings. His robots have a lot of character. The Bender bot can be purchased through Armourcast miniatures.
I wii include a closer view of the ice cream vender in my next post. However my stuff always looks better from a distance, paint and model wise.
Cheers

Thank you for showing the lovely stuff you've created!

 I was so greatly impressed by the 7TV Ghost Busters display board that I knew I had to replicate its features. Compliments to the talented creator, the skill and execution was awesome!

This is pretty obviously cool!


I think you are getting closer to 2005 film "Robots".  :D

It would be a nice edition with the red guy for this.


I am myself a huge fan of retro scifi, but I cannot compete with this.  lol Good thing I've gone to the Retro Scifi Wild West lately.

Whoa. Thats a first time I seen this retro style in a non fallout topic. Great work. Really refreshing from the usual hard sicfi we usually enjoy here.
