A view of the future - 1950's style
The following three photos are taken from a Meccano Magazine showing 1950's views of the future. For me they offer fantastic inspiration for Retro Sci Fi modellers like myself and should be shared.

You can see them becoming more "realistic" in their depictions. In fact the lines of most of those pieces are pretty much in keeping with what became reality.
I have always wanted to model up some space warships using "real space" design elements.
