A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I've seen her work when I visited Thailand a few summers ago. Incredible. The Autobot that I saw was about 7ft tall and was for sale for $15,000US. I really wanted it.. Settled for a 9" tank that was mainly made of ball bearings for wheels and double thick motorcycle chain for treads. Thing weighs about 15 pounds and was great to fly back with..

She makes tons of small trinkets and things, I bought a formula-one style race car for a friend that was about 8" in length for around $60US. The tank was $100US. They make sweet conversation pieces and gifts. She made a Predator too, which was badass.

As great of a movie as it is, I'm still bothered by the fact that we're to believe that the kid falling 50 feet onto the giant's iron hand is safe and fine, whereas if he fell 60 feet onto a pile of snow he'd be definitely dead.

When I was in Thailand, I bought one of those small sculptures (a Yoda, as the case was) made of nuts and bolts, and it's still one of the cooler things I own. The guy whose stand I bought it from at the market had a gigantic Predator that he made the same way. Looked like this. All these people are unbelievable artists.

I remember being in the night market in Chiang Mai and seeing table top sized sculptures made in this manner. Incredible work, all gleaming and mechanical and so forth. There were a lot of Predators and other similar stuff. There was a sign saying no pics but I tried anyway, figuring the guy was busy on the other side of the booth but someone behind me yelled at me and kinda half-heartedly gave me a little shove/grab. I beat it out of there.

[–]dbingham 1 point2 points ago

Huh. Either she's ridiculously prolific, there are multiple people doing this in Thailand, or they're being factory made at this point.

When I lived on Phuket these sorts of scrap metal sculptures were everywhere. Predators, Aliens, Darth Vader, the Terminator, Transformers. I mean, everywhere. Every mall or market I went to had a stall selling them practically.

They were all awesome, but there's no way she's that prolific.

[–]shootdashit 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, I agree with you that the graphics look good for the films, but I do like the design of this sculptured Prime better. I like his belt. His whole torso looks better. I like that he doesn't have lips when he's just standing around, chillin'. I like that he doesn't look like he has thin plastic pieces just sticking out. I can see where he begins and ends. This would even work with Hollywood's recent fascination with darker reboots.

look at this foggy junk

looks like a body builder with a little head in this one

Of course, I'd be happy to see them as they are in the films if Michael Bay will not produce or have anything to do with another one. I get the same feeling watching Bay's movies (minus "The Rock") as I do when seeing a commercial for a new Tyler Perry movie.

Actually, yes, to me, in my personal opinion it does. Mostly due to the less cluttered look of the body structure.

The sad thing is you're partially right when you say "the graphics for those movies were superb." They indeed were of the highest quality.

However the excitement of being a dick overwhelmed you and prevented you from realizing that I said the design was superior. Not graphics.

I was in Thailand last week and saw this guy's sculptures in the markets. He makes awesome alien versus predator sculptures. The asking price for a standing half-fullsize alien was 30000 baht (around $1k); shipping's around $300.

Check this out: http://planetoddity.com/stunning-alien-vs-predator-metal-sculptures.

He also makes star wars sculptures including a badass boba fett.

There's a store called (iirc, they've changed a few times) Red 5 in Glasgow which has a life sized predator sculpture made out of bicycle parts and other scrap metal. Aparently they got a student at the local art school to make it for them, looks fucking badass

Even though I don't like this version of Optimus very much, this is still amazing.

I would sell if first born to have that in my yard but it must talk and say really cool lines from the movie.

I wonder if this has anything to do with that spot in MBK in Bangkok? I was just there a month ago, and they have quite a bit of awesome stuff. Mostly Star Wars related.

I wanted to buy this really bad...

My friend bought an awesome (But much smaller) Darth Vader.

Family biz (Not just the artist, but who runs the stall). An old women was running the shop when we were there. Super nice...

Prices are extremely decent IMO when you buy in the store.
