Star Wars Droid R2D2 - by SF Papercraft - Robô R2D2

The "Real" Thing

R2-D2 (phonetically spelled Artoo-Detoo, and called "R2" for short), is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. An astromech droid, R2-D2 is a major character throughout all six Star Wars films. Along with his droid companion C-3PO, he joins or supports Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in various points in the saga. R2-D2 was played by Kenny Baker.
R2-D2 was designed by John Stears and specially created by Australian firm Petric Engineering and English firm C&L Developments. Many scenes also made use of radio controlled and CGI versions of the character. Both the original props of R2-D2 and C-3PO used in filming are used as audio-animatronics in the queue area of Disneyland's Star Tours ride. - Wikipedia

Keny, The Man Inside The Droid

O pequeno robô R2-D2 é um dos principais personagens da saga Star Wars. Ele é um dróide astromecânico, responsável por manutenção e navegação de astronaves. Fala uma "linguagem" incompreensível, de bipes e ruídos (e inspirou Kenny, de South Park). . Ele se move em duas pernas (e uma terceira retratil) com uma cabeça-domo azul e prata. Seu corpo branco, azul e prata possui várias armas, dispositivos e aparatos. Esse dróide é uma "caixinha de surpresas", que usa sua habilidades principalmente em momentos critícos.
R2 possui vários dispositivos especializados, usados com iniciativa e movimentos muito não-ortodoxos pra ajudar seus amigos. O fato de nunca ter sua memória apagada aumentou sua capacidade criativa e gerou sua personalidade.
R2-D2 e C-3PO são os únicos personagens da série a aparecerem nos 6 filmes interpretados pelos mesmos atores. Kenny Baker (na foto ao lado) foi o ator anão que atuou dentro do dróide em cinco dos seis filmes da série. Apesar de aparecer nos créditos do filme A Vingança dos Sith, Kenny nunca filmou qualquer cena desse episódio.

Citroen DS - French Paper Car - by Takumi - Carro Francês

The Citroën DS was an executive car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1955 and 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.
The DS advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling, and braking. Citroën sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model's 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognizing the world's most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car Magazine. - Wikipedia

Assim que foi lançado, em 1955, o Citroën DS foi visto como a grande sensação do meio automotivo. Mais de 50 anos depois, a originalidade e beleza de suas linhas continuam marcantes − e foram decisivas para dar ao DS o título de carro mais bonito de todos os tempos, de acordo com uma votação promovida pela revista britânica Classic & Sports Magazine. O design belíssimo do DS vem de uma perfeita união entre o estilista e escultor Flaminio Bertoni e o engenheiro André Lefévre. Com esses dois talentos, surgiu um carro com design e aerodinâmica vivendo em completa sintonia. - citroen.com.br

Nice way to preserve the history and heritage of a place.

Jeito bem bacana de preservar a história e o patrimônio de um lugar. Bem que os governantes das capitais históricas brasileiras poderiam mandar fazer algo parecido.
