RetroFuturism on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroFuturism/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroFuturism/)

Aarrgghh! It's not bloody Retro-futurism, it's just plain period Futurism or Modernism
or Sci-Fi or whatever, Retro-Futurism is artwork/design created today in a style reminiscent
of the old artwork/design. Retro by definition is an imitation of the past, so please to explain
how art or design from the past is an imitation of itself?
:-X

Meh, it's reddit. Home of underemployed vaping dopeheads in their 20s who live with their parents and like cats.
From the description -
1. Futurist visions from eras past.
2. Contemporary art with a retrofuturist theme.

Still, good contributions :)

But couldn't the contents of the that Reddit thread be inspiration for retro-futurism, the same way the contents of this one arn't models, just the inspiration for them?
Anyway, from a link on there, check out the gorgeously Jetsons GAZ-16A hovercar at 1:30 in this video:

Some years ago I discovered the mind-bending* illustrations of British SF artist Ron Turner. There's an entire gallery on FLickr.

Love the Pulp Magazine covers.
I suspect "The MASTER WEED" is a California classic. :o

Peter Elson did a range of ship styles, but I particularly like his NASA-ish ones. The one in the lower LH corner of the 'graveyard' one looks particularly buildable, and I may have a crack at it one day since the egg-shaped front end appeared in several other paintings.

Stop it.. all of you. :D
I am loving all these pictures and now scouring the stash for a suitable quick build.
I have candidates :)

I love the Starfury. Easily one of my top one or two ever as well. The more I look, the more I like it. Its funny because for me it was kind of the first starfighter outside of Star Wars I had ever seen way back in 1993.--I was 10 and instantly enamored
I made a RTV copy of the cockpit from the 1/72 kit, putting that cockpit on things instantly "sci Fi"s something Ive been test fitting on various kits. :)
