Despite all the Joseph Campbell influences, most of Star Wars' imagery seems pretty dystopic to me. And people either love or hate SF3D and/or Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000 concepts.

I'm in the former category. So, I bring you a pair of Ma.K.-themed Stormtrooper figures by Kunho Noh.

Picked up a Bobba Fett kit from Bandai from all places a Meijer big box store. We'll see what happens.........

Also, for apophenia, where there's a will, there's relatives!  ;) ;D

Also, try some stuff from https://industriamechanika.com/shop/ especially Ian McQue. Maybe not straight up PA but definitely some good ideas. I did a quick check at their website and it said they are no longer doing resin kits but going to home 3D printing. Wave of the future I think.

Wow, I’ve seen that thing before but I can’t remember what it was for.
Now I know where some of those B movie designs came from!

Before the Prius there was the Pinto.

Think about that.

The Florida one is well, almost a requirement for Floriduh.

How does the Portland car change lanes? How would it even pull over? Or even come to a stop in less than a quarter of a mile?

The person sitting rigidly upright in the driver's seat of the SUV is probably in a perpetual
state of anxiety.
