beautiful retro robots
Check out these amazing robot models from Japanese 3D artist Kazushi Kobayashi. They’re described as something from “a parallel 50s where the robots are the most popular transport system”. Apparently you can buy the kits to build your own, but only if you live in Japan. They have so much personality … If I was in the market for a robot I’d definitely invite Chubu 01 to come and live at my house. More info here.

That looks amazing. I collect 3A toy robots, and if you dig this then you should definitely check out threeaonline.com (robots designed by Ashley Wood, greatest artist in the world, they’re mind-blowing). The colour of this bot really makes it stand out, reminds me of a 70’s kitchen :-)
