From l-to-r: ERTL Blade Runner (1982) set; Deckard's Spinner, Deckard's Ground Car, Rachel's Spinner and Bryant's Spinner. The Hot Wheels Sentinel 400 Limo in police livery is in the back. Photo under white light (top) and purple light (bottom)
Two Spinners under white and purple lights. Might strip and repaint, but will use a spray paint to do it, I think. The front wheels need to be removed, as they should be rotated as the Spinners are in flight mode. Might replace them with a bit that looks like jet exhausts.
Rachel's Spinner and Deckard's Ground Car, both need to be stripped as the thick paint covers a lot of details. Also, there's that weird "Blade Runner" logo plastered on them, 80s, amirite? Again, I feel like these need a spray paint treatment and not my rough handpainted look.
The Syd Mead Sentinel 400 Limo, now that I've got some plasticard, I want to redo the front end so that it is more inline with the original concept art
Today's #diecast features a set got at the meet. It's the #BladeRunner (1982) set from ERTL. It consists of two Spinners, police and Deckard. As well, as Deckard's ground car and Rachel's Spinner. The movie vehicles were designed by #SydMead and I've included his Sentinel limo in the pics

Inspired by a Syd Mead painting of a futuristic Rolls Royce and some Night City lore from #cyberpunk2077, I did a background painting for that character portrait I did of Isambard Inkblot as a futuristic chauffeur

All of these breathless "Easter eggs in _TRON: Ares_ that only eagle-eyed viewers will catch!" listicles, and not one of them has mentioned the "MEAD-MOE BUS" digital sign on the bus during the first real-world chase scene. 😆 That was the one that made me laugh the most #SydMead #Moebius #JeanGiraud

"Utopian modernist living"
One of the worlds in my game will be a "not-Earth" planet and I wanted one of the major cities to feel very retro futuristic and "analog".

Dr1p.L0g: Syd Mead pop-up, Chelsea. Chrome dreams, impossible cities. Painted like they already existed. No one else made the future feel this inevitable.

>ART_INSPO // Views on this pop-up in New-Cyber-NYC. Syd Mead, the legend industrial designer-concept artist. Peeking his toils first-hand exploded my mind palace. I'm glad I caught it before it vanishes today. I asked the gallery, "Where to next?" Only one answer: the cosmos. #art #concept #sydmead
That time #SydMead designed a fighter and the image itself was actually classified. Luckily, now de-classified. Also shown, his concept for the Sultan of Brunei's 747, circa 1983 and Philips mobile cassette player designs.
