JackJonespaw Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Another year, another Winter Village contest, yea? It's pretty exciting, honestly, and I love to see what everyone is doing. This year, I decided I wanted to try a different style, so I present to you: Shop von Robotern, a...low-budget robot shop set up in lower New York by a couple of German brothers, the Armbrusters in the 1960s. Yea, you heard me, a robot shop. In the '60s. Have I been playing too much Fallout? Irrelevant. Man, look at the store. Full of customers and robots. They're so happy. Not so much the robots, since they can't think, but all the humans have smiles. The front, kind of. Front curve. It's a weird structured building. The door is on the side, but the perpindicular wall is also a side, not a front...it's confusing. Displayed in the front windows are the newest in home robot technology, aptly named "cleaning 'bots". Fun guys who sweep your floors for you. The Armbrusters know what people like, and since it's Christmas time, well, they decorate for Christmas! And with a pleasent garland right over that door. The Armbrusters, clever lads, decided to incorporate some robot parts around the door. You know, just to show the good folk who are passing by what the store's all about. The other side gets some Christmas wreaths, all very pleasant, of course. I'm using that word a lot, sorry. Anyway, here's the other wall. The windows display two more robots, called "harpoon 'bots". They're all-terrain robots, mainly prioritized to harpoon stuff. Doesn't matter what enviroment - desert, underwater, forest - if it moves, they can harpoon it, probably. There are a few bugs to 'em. This is the store when no one's there. Let's say it's 9 pm, closing time. If you look closely at your computer screen at the picture, you can see both the cleaning 'bots and the harpoon 'bots. So I wasn't lying about them. There's even a nice little Christmas tree. Man, don't those Armbrusters love to decorate, huh! Yea, there's my entry. Want more pictures? Too bad. Ha! I'm just kidding. Here you go: Hello! A full album of pictures! With creative names such as "Empty Shot". I really went all out. In all seriousness, please check them out. There's some different angles, and pictures of the figures, good fun. Enjoy! - JackJonespaw Quote
KlodsBrik Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Great idea and well executed. Do they serve a hot beverage? In case they do, this would be my kind of place to hangout ! Quote
Xon67 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) The curved outside wall has a great look to it, especially with all of the Christmas decorations. I'll take a Rosy cleaning bot and two astromechs! Edited December 31, 2015 by Xon67 Quote
