Back ToThe Future Delorean with whitewalls

Vintage 1909 movie props from "The Airship Destroyer" ... steampunk all the way

 Airship destoryer in the above image, it's used as a unmanned drone to blow up blimps/airships... the petal propeller and dragonfly wings are comical

 these are both images of the front of this "Armored" horseless carriage

these images are from the 1909 movie "The Airship Destroyer" found on Richards blog http://electric-edwardians.blogspot.com/2011/05/airship-destroyer-1909.html and you can watch the short movie on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBAWWZ2rUGk&feature=player_embedded

Richard has just started blogging, and doesn't yet have an email I can find on his profile or his blog, so I hope he adds one so I can contact him

I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and wondered about that Nazi flying wing

The Nazi Flying Wing seen in the film was not a real plane.

 Raiders production designer Norman Reynolds designed the plane for the film, based on historical Northrop Corporation designs and drawings by Ron Cobb of the Horten Ho-2-29.

The fake plane was built by Vickers, and was painted in London at EMI Elstree Studios. In order to ship the unwieldy prop to Tunisia, it had to be disassembled and sent piecemeal before being reconstructed on location.
After the Flying Wing was destroyed in the film in 1981, the remains of the plane sat quietly in the Tunisian desert, where parts of it was salvaged by prop collectors.

great wagon design, from the Burt Lancaster movie "The Scalphunters" with Ossie Davis, Telly Savalas, and Shelly Winters

I liked the movie, Ossie and Burt have contrasting views about everything, Telly is the bad guy who has stolen from Burt, and this wagon is Shelly's transport to Mexico. The small stove over the water barrel, the little dresser and mirror, and the canvas shades that roll up are nice features, but the best part is the full size brass bed inside the wagon for a comfortable nights sleep, every night. No camping on the ground with a bedroll and blanket, hell no, it's a matress and pillows plus sheets and blankets = total comfort
