This is very cool. But in particular, I have to say that the war car really wins my heart. I want one

EDIT-What's that sort of cross-ribbon-thing that's on the 8:00 position on the clock?

not sure. the artist was not there to ask. not sure what the 7 o'clock thing is either. the war car is fully functional. he has quotes and whatnot all about it. i am hoping to go back this week and take better/more pics.

It's an AIDS-awareness ribbon.

Very nice, Sarge!

As for the 7 o'clock it's a swastika. Either a reference to the nazis or to the red swastika society which began in the 1920s as a sort of red cross w/ groundings in buddhist teachings.
EDIT-Looking at the direction in which it is oriented, it's most likely a reference to the RSS and the swastika as a good luck sign in asia which was a long time before the nazis used it.

had it wrong, it was 8 o'clock (aids ribbon) and 9 o clock. sorry.

Post by **Holsety** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:24 pm

Hmm, I just realized I don't know what the 9-o-clock one is either. Anyone know that?

Anyway, I just noticed the "other rights" under the number 9-11 instead of just nine. I am not good at noticing the most pronounced messages sometimes ;(

Also I noticed you used PVC pipes in the mannequin. *Thumbs up*

Post by **sgt.null** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 6:38 pm

thank you. the mannequin came about because store bought mannequins are so damned expensive. someone suggested pvc. it is light and easy to work with. we have aseries of mannequins we plan on doing.

I like this!

Ecce Futura is possibly my fave, though I'm going to have to send a copy of the flag to a mate of mine who works at Citi, if you don't mind Sarge?
