Eric at Geekadelphia posted this Blade Runner origami unicorn with a link to a short how-to on recreating Gaff’s final calling card in the Blade Runner Movie. So if you think your buddy may be an android, or if you just like the movie, this is a quick crafty project that only requires a peice of foil paper and a little time!
Kelly_Bear posted this great at home Dalek-Shoe project on craftster.org. I suppose she felt that slip-on Vans just weren’t awesome enough, so she added her own Doomsday theme to these. On the heels they both say “EXTERMINATE!”. If you want some awesome Doctor Who shoes of your own, and just aren’t keen on Daleks, I say go for a TARDIS, I would think they are easier to paint anyway!
Jamie Price from Instructables.com sent in this robotic bartender he designed (look like anyone you know?). This R2D2 with booze is perfect for the Star Wars fan who loves to party (and hates to walk). He calls it his “Mobile BaR2D2”. It’s a relatively simple design, for a an extremely cool little roaming robotic bartender!
Russian Nesting Dolls, or Matryoshka, lend themselves perfectly to themed sets on any subject. Artist Matt Brown made this Star Wars set for his brother for Christmas. These are soooo cool – did you catch the teeny, tiny Yoda in there too? I almost missed him!
Katy Marcus at Cut Out + Keep posted this great Marvin the Paranoid Android knitting project. He’s depressed, paranoid and completely adorable, perfect handmade gift for the Hitchhiker’s Guide fan in your life, or to knit for yourself and snuggle. You know, to cheer him up.
Cory Doctorow posted this ridiculously awesome Boba Fett Pez dispenser on boingboing. Flickr user Switthoft made it “using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalized parts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King.”
