Robot Sculptures - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Dr. Atomic · 8th February 2007, 09:07 AM

A friend of mine makes these neat robot sculptures, under the Electro Art Works moniker. I picked up two, recently -- the first is called Cosmo, and the second is Blasto (his chest thingy flips down to reveal two cannons). They're both about seven inches tall. I like how they capture the clunky, pulpy style of the early science fiction aesthetic. I also think they've got a lot of personality...

More pics of his stuff: Home

Anyway, I like 'em.

Oh, Frank R. Paul would be sooooo tickled!

Yes, indeedy, they are awfully nifty looking! I want! I want!

Oh, these are great! Your friend is very skilled!

I have a friend who's nuts about 50s sci-fi B movies and would go nuts about these

Heh... Exactly what I was thinking when I first saw them. Especially Cosmo, which looks like it stepped right off the cover of Amazing Stories or Wonder Stories.

Though Paul would have made Cosmo red or something...

I want several too. They would look awesome in the basement.

I couldn't help but think of the Zoromes looking at these.... Neil R. Jones, thou art vindicated!

Well, I'm certainly no Frank R. Paul, but...

j. d. worthington · 9th February 2007, 04:25 AM

LOL! Verrry good!

Now... can you do Chesley Bonestell?

Serin · 9th February 2007, 07:33 PM

These are really impressive. Well done to your friend.

BookStop · 9th February 2007, 09:06 PM

Wow! Your friend really has talent. If I could afford one.....

Dr. Atomic · 10th February 2007, 04:50 AM

Actually, his stuff isn't that expensive (relatively speaking). I think I paid $50 for Blasto, and I got Cosmo in a trade (I think he was listed for $75, originally). So not cheap cheap, but way less than I'd have expected... I think he tries to make stuff available in all sorts of price ranges.

I think they're great stuff and great vlaue. Too bad I have no space for them... just wanted to say a word in support.
