lama chameleon



I can't help thinking when I see old fashioned towel rails how the end braces look like the feet of the SpaceX LAMA below!

Oddly enough the long LAMA barrel reminds me of something too but I can't think what!

  2. Perhaps that barrel reminds you of electrical subsatations! http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/19/81/198118_a09442f2.jpg

    Not sure what they are called but seem to be some sort of insulator. They were a fixture of the old horror movies that we all love. You can't have a "mad" scientist laboratory without them!

    So if it was some sort of electrocannon, it'd make sense to have a lot of insulators separating the discharge tip from the rest of the chassis.

    1. Excellent connections Lance! I see what you mean completely and yes it does make sense to have a insulated barrel. Those gothic electrodes really do look like the Lama gun! Check out Ed Valigursky's original painting for an even closer match! Well done Lance https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/42/b0/61/42b061265966f57c8009f4f6221363b6.jpg

    1. I suspect a lot! That LAMA is but two feet away from reality!

  4. Making replicas of spacex toys I've never even seen is a bit more of a challenge!
