These awesome pregnancy models were designed in 19th century Japan and reappeared in the July 2001 issue of Geijutsu Shincho magazine. The demand for pregnancy toys was must have been overwhelming. Can’t you picture little pro-choice children demanding the chance to perform their own home abortions (Dick Cheney was a child around that time, right?). Fun! Pro-choice kids didn’t get all the fun though. These toys also appear to be great models for the miracle of birth. The anatomical correctness... Continue reading

Ah. Yeah. Um. These…these pics were taken by, ah, photographer Andrey Razumovsky. The models look like they’re, um, slathered in milk but they’re…really just…wearing dresses. Excuse me. I have to, ah, go to the bathroom for 10 minutes. Don’t worry. You will too after the jump.

Once, in Kindergarten, I built a diorama using cotton balls, crayons, construction paper and Elmer’s glue. It looks like shit but boy was I proud of it. Today, I think I’ll leave the diorama-making to Thomas Doyle, a guy who produces true works of art using miniature figures and houses that would normally be found on a train set. Click through to see his work. It’s something that really can’t be missed. Link [via]

Doesn’t this photo sculpture by Canadian artist Susy Olivera look a lot like the papercrafts you can make yourself? It’s all polygonal as if it’s straight out of the Playstation One. Susy fashions these 3-D models together using photos and foam. The one shown above is called “Time is Never Wasted.” To me, it bears a resemblance to Alec Trevelyan of Goldeneye after the confrontation with Ourumov. If only he had three more minutes. Link [via]

Here at Gearfuse, we love seeing all the cool Steampunk twists people put on regular products. Sadly, this awesome set of Steampunk headphones that you see pictured above is actually just a non-functional model. A guy from Chicago who calls himself Nicrosin made this “Mechanical Aural Communication Device” as a prop with “sculpey, rubber, and… various pocket watch parts,” the earpieces have a suede lining. Real Steampunk headphones that look like the inside of a watch would be awesome. Hopefully,... Continue reading

I thought I was really into Star Trek.  I have every episode from the original series and TNG as well as many articles of clothing and a beer bottle opener shaped like the Enterprise.  However, Bob Prior’s passion and fanboy-ism for Star Trek far surpasses my own.  He’s created Star Trek replicas from Rice Krispies boxes. From Kirk to Picard, Spock to LaForge, Bob has created over 50 models which include the Starship Enterprise, its command bridge and captains James... Continue reading

I don’t know how Friedrich Kirschner pulled this stunt off but it’s one of the best DIYs I’ve seen in a long time. He essentially constructed a 3-D scanner out of LEGOs, a webcam and milk. Watching the above video, you can see how Friedrich places a figurine into a vat of milk. A picture is taken and a spoonful of milk is added to the vat. The process is repeated until the object is fully submerged in milk. Once... Continue reading
