Speed Modeling Challenge #43 - Retro

[Rich O Brien]

Except Csaba's are tweeny weenies

[Box]

How do you know that Solo?

or is Basecamp more camp than we want to know.

[solo]

y'all folks from over the pond still wear speedo's,say no more.

I stayed with Csaba at basecamp (good god he snores bad), Rich was with us all the time, pretty sure I saw him sh#t faced in his whitey's.

Missed the last one... Really nice theme... Here's my entry... Philco Predicta: Considered the most iconic TV design of all times with its swivel screen. Was launched in 1958 and discontinued in 1960 i think. Finding a working Predicta is very rare. Here's my attempt at it. The screen took most of the time. Just finished basic texturing. The image width is 800 but the height is 360 something...

mukul.ar - COOL MASTERPIECE!!!!

[cj_sniper]

I love this fertile topic
here is my retro device - Blender "Blend-In"
30 minutes (fredo scale, round corners and sketchup )
PS - so many ideas left

[EarthMover]

Here's a throwback to the town of Bedrock. Used Artisan, FFD and Tools on Surface. 30 minutes. I had a lot more detail planned, but ran out of time.

[solo]

A quickie, used SU 8 pro (solid tools) and round corner only.

View master, my second favourite toy as a kid.

[David_H]

Great models Guys.

That's it. I'm done. . .

[mukul.ar]

@pete: What was your favorite toy?

Great stuff guys...

[oganocali]

Here is my entry. I had to exercise on the grill to get the timing. I would almost start a plugin project based on my experience there .

Pete-viewmaster was my first idea, but I couldnt think of the name of it for the life of me so I couldnt find any images to build it off of! great models all around

[SketchUpNoobie]

Just for clarification, is there a definitive time period limit? What is something was first introduced in the early 1900's but continued in popularity throughout the century. Would that be a legitimate model?

[boofredlay]

Well if it is an old cool gadget I don't think it matters.

[cj_sniper]

Wow! I was not expecting such a buzz around this topic
so many models (good models, even very good)

[Rich O Brien]

From now on only one (1) entry will be allowed

[solo]

Did not read the new rules, assumed I knew them.

[Rich O Brien]

New rules due to the whining and moaning of late.

[boofredlay]

Oooo, I get to lash out more public ridicule!!!

[winskyserin]

i think it great....no problem...

[David_H]

I thought we always made special allowances for Pete. . .

[castromann]

this is my first participation in a challenge - hope you like it.

this is a model of the "RT1" transistor radio by UKs radio company roberts (50s style) the modern version called "revival 250" was introduced in 1991 and is available until today but with more advanced features.

took me 25min altogether. main tool used was rounded corner plugin. i intended to add more detail but time limit didn´t allow any more (i´m just too slow)

I HEAP SOME MORE PUBLIC RIDICULE ON YOU....! THEY ARE STILL 1000 by 682...! WELCOME TO THE CONTEST THOUGH

[mukul.ar]

It used to be 800 by 600... did not notice the change in the image resolution... Shame on me...

[castromann]

I HEAP SOME MORE PUBLIC RIDICULE ON YOU....! THEY ARE STILL 1000 by 682...! WELCOME TO THE CONTEST THOUGH

...but there´s nothing wrong with 1000x682, is it?

[mukul.ar]

@ castromann: I am sorry... It used to be 800 by 600.. they've increased the size too according to new competition rules... Sorry for being an ass.. and dang it i missed out... should have ridiculed wen i had the chance...

[castromann]

don´t worry - i deserved the ridicule - but now i was unsure if i´ve repeated my stupidness...

[TIG]

castroman - your images are fine; mukul was wrong - he thought the adjusted images still didn't comply with the maximum size limit. However, that upper limit had been increased a while ago so your images are now OK. It's a maximum size limit, therefore smaller images are just fine...

[boofredlay]

castromann, thank you for updating the images. This is a nice model indeed.
And yes, new rules are 1000 x 800 max so you are good to go
