The Rocketsons: Family of TOMORROW!

[Rigel]

It's 2023, and if it's not THE FUTURE yet, when will it be?

Meet the Family of Tomorrow, the Rocketsons! From Solar Studios, c/o Hydra Miniatures.

Hard-working family man and sprocket engineer Rod Rocketson, at his office (he's there three days a week, a real go-getter)

 

 

 

 

His vivacious daughter Rita with a futuristic device that both acts as a camera and radio at once,

 

 

 

 

 

His genius son Elwood, on his way home from school,

 

 

 

 

and his lovely wife Renata, seen here organizing the house with the help of a robot servant. (Bombshell's HLpR modified lightly with a GW Ork wrench clamp)

 

 

 

 

(The table/chairs, washing machine, and Screen-O-Tron are from Bombshell's Galley/Rest area set. Rod's desk is from Crooked Dice. )

 

Together, they are a nuclear family for the atomic age! 

 

Wishing you all the best in this futuristic year!

Nostalgia...it reminds me of a cartoon with that similar family...

This looks great, cool setting.

You always have a knack for setting the scene.

simply luv it. especially being a jetson fanboy from back in the 60's...  opps there I go showing my age again. Kudos.

Ah, the future as it should have been.  Nice job puling disparate items together with scratchbuilt pieces.

I've seen that show!!

 

Very nice work on them. 

[Grand Slam]

Great job with the *FAMILY NAME REDACTED FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS*. The paint jobs really pop and I really enjoy all of the domes. As has been said, I'm also impressed with the way you brought together so much stuff from different lines and formed it into a cohesive whole.

[Rigel]

Thank you all! Fun with cloche jars and jewelry bits.

We need and deserve a better class of future, I agree! And thanks--I love putting together themes from disparate sources.

Glad you like them--I realize too late I forgot to paint the bow on Rita/Judy! Putting together the dome settings was a hassle but it paid off.

No shame in enjoying the classics, or having survived a bunch of decidedly un-futuristic years! Here's to many more, and thank you!

These guys took Paw's time slot on Saturday morning!  Jetstone, yourrrbrbrbrbrbrrbrbrrr FIRED! 

Love what you did with it:

[Count Urlik]

In case anyone missed it this summer...  

[Rigel]

UPDATE!

 

Hydra Miniatures recently issued a robo-dog, and it would have been IRRESPONSIBLE not to make it part of the family. 

Who is programmed to be a good boy?!

[Glitterwolf]

WOOF APPROVES!
 

BONUS POINTS for painting a (robo) DOG!

 

Great job!

 

[Poilu_1914]

These are totally fun and as always great scene-setting!

 

[GoldenPiggy]

Basing them on sprockets was a very nice touch.

[Nial ap Morai]

That brought back some good memories, good job
