Astro Racers - Across The Universe

I would epoxy cardboard, like a harness, to hold the magnet to hold it in place. Glues and Epoxy's are mechanical attachments, and can come loose.

I used to build Laser Cubes used for the alignment of production lines. These things cost $80,000 dollars a piece. The prisms inside where held in by a proprietary epoxy system, I have never see anything like this. However, if you dropped oe of these cubes onto a concrete floor, the prison would break loose. I suggested a simple aluminum bracket, held in with machine screw, and the epoxy was poured over the bracket and the prism. When dropped, the prison no longer broke lose, and there was no evidence that the epoxy had lost it's grip. I believe the bracket adsorbed the initial shock and this allowed the epoxy to continue it's bond. The problem was that the epoxy was so strong, it was brittle, there was an exchange of electrons between the glass and the metal, so when it broke off, the plate and the prism had to be discarded, meaning complete reconstruction of the laser alignment cube. Just another fun fact. ;)

55-Pure

the ship is four years in development
and someone of you allready noticed that the shape of the craft is similar to FEISAR from Wipeout Pure game :)

89 - Gameboy craft

The shape was taken from the Gameboy DMG-01 game console from nintendo
the project is 6 years old......oh man

89-medailonek_qx3v28x3.jpg


06 - Arrow

The craft of DUNAHILL company was one of the first astro racers back in the 2011 ever drawn.
in past 7 years I´ve redesigned it 2 times :headbange:

666 - Supernatural

I am a fan of Supernatural series and I love this (Impala) car, so I´ve decided to create it´s variation for Astro Racers.
.....5 years old project.:(

666-medailonek.jpg


28 - Gerhart Gruber

Another craft from the first sketches of astro racers.....7 years old project.

265 - Beyond fantasy

this ship was adopted from the poster of PAPER FANTASY 2010, so
technically this ship is the oldest astro racer here ...allmost 8 years

265-medailonek_rjw48rmg.jpg


123 - Prometheus module

This is the module of the spaceship from the great czech comic "revolt of brains (1974)"
..the project is 5 years old

Maybe something is lost in translation. What questionnaire are you referring to?

Thanks Gandolf! So many to choose from so little time! Personally my vote is for #265 - Beyond Fantasy.

265-medailonek_rjw48rmg.jpg


Though my favorite one is not on the list at all it's #26 Hans Berg. See below lower left hand corner.

#35 Gear is pretty neat as well.

Though really I like them all. Jan's really creative. His work is incredible and his models are fun to build. Great weekend builds.

The questionnaire is about the most finished astro racers...(70~85% of total) ...HANS BERG 26, GEAR 35, TRAX 97 are in the textuing stage-in the middle of the project...
They will b in the next questionnaire in the future maybe.....:)
