Speed Modeling Challenge #43 - Retro

[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...

...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

Welcome to SCF. Nice model

[KiraNL]

No "Spell & Speak"!?!?!

Well here's mine, i still pickup my cube sometimes and then give it a swing, but i guess its retro enough.

[Philw]

My 1st challenge, found this photo on line and thought I’d give it a go. Nothing special, Booleans and circles, need more work on the face and dial.

[Edit: Images removed due to size restriction - Boofredlay]

Smaller Images, sorry bout that..

[urgen]

Well, Coffee-makers, radio, microphone are retro, indeed. Recently, I have recalled quite an interesting thing: the coolest music counterfeit in the world . In USSR people called it "music on bones", "music on ribs", or simply "my granny's skeleton" .
Handmade gramophone records were made from the X-ray images. I think, you will be surprised to find out it actually existed .

Well, Urgen, we had the same here. This was the way we made pirated copies of LP's we could otherwise not have access to.

[bupaje]

Western Electric 201 Wall phone. Best I could do in 30 minutes. Couldn't finish the heandset or the craddle.

I feel like a guy who admits he hasn't exercised ina while -haven't played with SU in a few weeks. Some great models as usual. I sit all amazed.

Thanks Burt,
I've been wondering what to do for this one, so here is a free form handset to go with your base.
Not the right style I'm sure but straight from my childhood memories.
By the way, I'm guessing your dial is the US one, the 11 is a dead giveaway, I always wondered how you dialed 911 so fast.

[boofredlay]

... I always wondered how you dialed 911 so fast.

[Box]

I had to say it that way Boo, I wouldn't have dared say anything about the people panicking running around in circles saying, That's the 9 now where the hell is the 11 button.

[boofredlay]

[boofredlay]

Just under the wire.

[boofredlay]

Time's Up.
I will have the voting set up soon.
