The Real Thing
More one great paper model by designer RocketManTan. The Gaswagen, otherwise known as the Gas Van, was one of the more gruesome vehicles to come out of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. Used by the Einsatzgruppen, Hitler's Death Squads, the Gaswagen allowed the SS to kill victims of the Regime much more efficiently and swiftly. Victims would no longer need to be shipped off to the
nearest concentration camp, but rather, they could simply be packed into the rear compartment of the truck and exterminated. - read more at RocketmanTan`s site at DeviantArt.


Mais um grande modelo do designer RocketManTan. O Gaswagen, também conhecido como a "Van do Gás", foi um dos veículos mais terríveis criados pelo regime nazista durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Usado pelos Einsatzgruppen, os esquadrões da morte de Hitler, o Gaswagen permitiu a SS matar as vítimas do Regime com muito mais eficiência e rapidez. As vítimas já não precisavam mais ser enviadas para o campo de concentração mais próximo: simplesmente eram colocadas dentro do compartimento traseiro do caminhão e exterminados com gás. - leia mais no site de RocketmanTan no DeviantArt.

Gaisensha Propaganda Truck - by John Wagenseil - via Paper Modelers


Photobucket

A really nice and unusual find by John Wagenseil. John says: - "Japanese Right Wing political groups, who often have links to organized crime, hold neighborhoods hostage with loudspeaker trucks blasting political messages. Donations will make them go away. Fortunately this innovative method of collecting campaign contributions has not yet crossed the Pacific".

Um achado realmente legal e incomum de John Wagenseil. John diz: - "Grupos políticos de extrema direita, normalmente envolvidos com o crime organizado, fazem propaganda política usando caminhões com caixas de som no último volume, fazendo uma espécie de terrorismo psicológico nos bairros, só desligando o som quando recebem doações para os partidos. Por sorte, este tipo de método de arrecadação de contribuições para campanha ainda não cruzou o Pacífico".

Indonesian Helicak Vehicle Paper Model - by Royaje Papercraft


Photobucket


Photobucket
An unusual Lambretta/Rickshaw type contraption from Indonesia, these Helicaks (because they look like a Helicopter, presumably) are one of the odder Lambretta conversions I've seen. They were introduced in Jakarta in the early '70s, but by the late '80s were deemed unsafe, as in an impending accident, the drivers tended to abandon ship, leaving the passengers trapped in the fibreglass cab to take the brunt of the collision. - lambrettista.posterous.com




PhotobucketUma espécie de Lambreta ou Rickshaw feita na Indonésia, esta Helicak (chamdas assim talvez por causa de parecerem um pequeno helicóptero), é uma das conversões mais estranhas feitas com Lambretas que eu já vi. Elas foram introduzidas em Jacarta no início dos anos 70, mas no final dos anos 80 foram consideradas muito inseguras: quando batiam as Helicaks, os motoristas tendiam a abandonar o navio, deixando os passageiros presos na cabine de fibra de vidro para fugir da responsabilidade da colisão. - lambrettista.posterous.com

Halloween Special - Barbie Scale Guillotine - by Tektonten

Tektonten is a very nice blog about paper models and have some original models made by the author.

Here is my contribution to the collection of free Halloween papercraft on the Internet this year: a guillotine! I had downloaded a 3D model of a bloody guillotine by designer "Smirnoffka" earlier this year thinking I might do a papercraft of it sometime and finally decided it would work best as a Halloween papercraft. I chose to scale the guillotine to the size of a Barbie doll because there was something just so ironic and disturbing about associating smiling Barbie with a gruesome instrument of death. - Tektonten

"I have always been fascinated with anatomical drawings and models. Although I collect skulls of birds I don't have the balls to stuff a dead animal or even a human like Prof. von Hagen with his "Korperwelten" does. So I started to make my own cabinet of anatomical models in paper". - Bert Simons


"Eu sempre fui fascinado por imagens e modelos de anatomia. Mesmo colecionando esqueletos de pássaros, eu nunca tive coragem para dissecar ou empalhar um animal morto, ou um ser humano, como o Professor von Hagen, no seu livro "Korperwelten". então resolvi fazer meus próprios modelos de anatomia". - Bert Simons

Halloween Special - The Human Skull Paper Model - by Ravensblight



Here is an unusual and bizarre model by Ravens Blight : a Human Skull.
PhotobucketHalloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)". The name of the festival historically kept by the Gaels in the British isles is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".
Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a (mostly idle) "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. In some parts of Scotland children still go guising. In this custom the child performs some sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a ghost story, to earn their treats. - Wikipedia

Ravens Blight Skull Model
O Halloween, ou Dia das Bruxas é um evento tradicional e cultural, que ocorre nos países anglo-saxônicos, com especial relevância nos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Irlanda e Reino Unido, tendo como base e origem as celebrações dos antigos povos (não existe referências de onde surgiram essas celebrações).
A origem do Halloween remonta às tradições dos povos que habitaram a Gália e as ilhas da Grã-Bretanha entre os anos 600 a.C. e 800 d.C., embora com marcadas diferenças em relação às atuais abóboras ou da famosa frase "Gostosuras ou travessuras", exportada pelos Estados Unidos, que popularizaram a comemoração. Originalmente, o Halloween não tinha relação com bruxas. Era um festival do calendário celta da Irlanda, o festival de Samhain, celebrado entre 30 de outubro e 2 de novembro e marcava o fim do verão (samhain significa literalmente "fim do verão"). Se analisarmos o modo como o Halloween é celebrado hoje, veremos que pouco tem a ver com as suas origens: só restou uma alusão aos mortos, mas com um carácter completamente distinto do que tinha ao princípio. Além disso foi sendo pouco a pouco incorporada toda uma série de elementos estranhos tanto à festa de Finados como à de Todos os Santos. - Wikipedia
Aqui no Brasil esta data começou a se popularizar com o aumento da procura por escolas de idiomas.

Hieronymus Bosch`s Creatures - by Atom - Da Pintura Para O Papel

Photobucket

PhotobucketHieronymus Bosch , born Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken ( c. 1450 – 9 August 1516) was a Dutch painter. His work is known for its use of fantastic imagery to illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives.
Bosch produced several triptychs. Among his most famous is The Garden of Earthly Delights. This painting, for which the original title has not survived, depicts paradise with Adam and Eve and many wondrous animals on the left panel, the earthly delights with numerous nude figures and tremendous fruit and birds on the middle panel, and hell with depictions of fantastic punishments of the various types of sinners on the right panel. When the exterior panels are closed the viewer can see, painted in grisaille, God creating the Earth. These paintings—especially the Hell panel—are painted in a comparatively sketchy manner which contrasts with the traditional Flemish style of paintings, where the smooth surface—achieved by the application of multiple transparent glazes—conceals the brushwork. In this painting, and more powerfully in works such as his Temptation of St. Anthony (Lisbon), Bosch draws with his brush. Not surprisingly, Bosch is also one of the most revolutionary draftsmen in the history of art, producing some of the first autonomous sketches in Northern Europe. - Wikipedia


PhotobucketJeroen van Aeken, cujo pseudónimo é Hieronymus Bosch, e também conhecido como Jeroen Bosch, ('s-Hertogenbosch, c. 1450 — Agosto de 1516), foi um pintor e gravador neerlandês dos séculos XV e XVI.
Muitos dos seus trablhos retratam cenas de pecado e tentação, recorrendo à utilização de figuras simbólicas complexas, originais, imaginativas e caricaturais, muitas das quais eram obscuras mesmo no seu tempo.
Pintores alemães como Martin Schongauer, Matthias Grünewald e Albrecht Dürer influenciaram a obra de Bosch. Apesar de ter sido quase contemporâneo de Jan van Eyck, seu estilo era completamente diferente.
Especula-se que sua obra terá sido uma das fontes do movimento surrealista do século XX, que teve mestres como Max Ernst e Salvador Dalí. - Wikipedia
