NEXUS 6

Well if you want to draw some serious inspiration for this project, make sure you check out Syd Mead. He is the graphic artist that did all of the concepts for the movie. If you were to deck a cab out with his art, and some cyberpunk/steampunk influences I think you could very well have an extremely beautiful machine. Take your time though, if you butcher this I am going to throw a fit. ;D

You're lucky, I nearly went with that name for my own cab (which remains as yet unnamed) sometime ago but I changed my mind. I'm a huge fan of Blade Runner and was before the term "Cyberpunk' was even thought of. I have a copy of the original shooting screenplay and have read most of PKD's works over the years. I'll be watching (like BASS!) to see where you go with it. As much of a fan as I am and as much as my cab is suited to the theme I prefer to create something original for my cab. I drew a 3D model of the spinner years ago, I've always meant to update it and improve it but to whet your appetite here's my original version.... ;D
:cheers:

Thanks, yeah I checked out the restoration work some years ago, I was looking for images of the Spinner and found the restoration site. The original Spinner was just sitting in some back lot negelected until those guys lovingly restored it including a full paint job. Nice to know it's preserved like it is.
I was pretty pleased with the last release of the film Ridley Scott did it looks fantastic - I guess I'm a BR nerd, some ppl can quote Holy Grail from end-to-end lol, I can do that with BR, come to think of it I can quote most of Holy Grail as well ...sad veggies. look ... no cheating I swear "You like our Owl?" "It's artificial?" "Of course it is" "Must be expensive" "Very" "I'm Rachel" "Deckard" "It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public" "Replicants are like any other machine, they're either a benefit or a hazzard, if they're a benefit it's not my problem" "Have you ever retired a human by mistake..." blah blah blah lol. ;D
whoozwah:
I can do that with Ghostbusters...and the Goonies.
I'm not just going to base it on blade runner though. I might be pulling from other sources as well. Akira comes to mind.
