Nice. I love ships made out of gun pieces. They’re the most tech-y things on the Machine.

[Calvary_RedParticipant]

Thanks, Rob. I agree about the gun parts, they make great vehicles.

From the distant future of 1999 comes The Mammoth Metal Man.

Uh–different timeline, alternate history, alternate universe, or typo? Even as tired as I am, I’m sure I didn’t dream fifteen years in my last nap!

Well considering the style, I’d say the picture is meant to be from the 50’s, when 1999 was the future.

You got it JR. I love how in the ’50s people imagined by 2000 we’d be flying to other planets and using computers that still ran on vacuum tubes.

[Herr DParticipant]

Yah, okay. I like the more obvious bad guesses too. Almost as much as I like seeing what came true. Like the two-way wrist t.v.

[TrekkieParticipant]

I love that robot! It’s got such a wonderful retro vibe. (Is there a possibility of other pictures in this style sometime…? )

[JR19759Keymaster]

It was such a shame that it didn’t win the Machine CDC really, personally it was my favourite out of all the entries, but that’s not how the contests are run unfortunately.

[Calvary_RedParticipant]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It’s always nice to know when I’ve brightened someone’s day.

Herr D, it is fun to see the hits and misses of sci-fi. We’ve got about two years for hover-boards, right? ^_^

Trekkie, I certainly hope I’ll get to make a few more retro pictures, this and The Heroic are easily my favorite pieces. For me, the tricky part is finding a point were spare time and creative inspiration come together. I’m open to suggestions and advice.

JR, that really means a lot, though it think it’s a good example of why we have the poll – Vector Man earned that one. I’m glad people are enjoying the retro style though, I haven’t seen anything like it on HM yet, so it’s cool to know I’ve brought something different.

[Herr DParticipant]

Hoverboards? November 2015, right? Yeah, almost exactly. I have a feeling we will miss that one by more than a month. Not that we CAN’T. Just that it’s inconvenient enough and potentially dangerous enough that no one will rush in and dupe it out as best we can. It’s too actionable. Just one more way that our culture is too litigious.

Got to thank Jeff, dblade, Mad Jack and the others who’ve been adding new items. I’ve been wanting to make Green Shield’s suit and armor for a while now*, and these parts are perfect.
