Like in many other situations there are many different ways to make something. It depends on ideas, materials, and of course available quality of tools and craftmanship. I decided to use expert knowledge of Srdoč upholstery workshop and trow in some of my ideas to hopefully make something really nice. We started up with putting... Continue Reading

The simplest things are usually the most difficult to create. I’d say this is a typical example – we need to incorporate hinges and holes for a radio and a CB radio station including their mounts. Everything needs to be recessed and have a simple and neat look. This is still a complicated thing to do and a little bit... Continue Reading

Another reason why Laser Discs are great – every now and then, browsing through the Internet wasteland, I find some SF movie I didn’t watch, like Android from 1982. Who plays: Klaus Kinski and Don Keith Opper – the guy with a gap in his front teeth who plays a clumsy drunk in all Critters movies. What is all... Continue Reading

While we were on vacation, our friend Benny invited us to Fažana, small fishing town at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, which runs a small traditional festival of light – Stars, candles and lanternes. The Festival accompanies street musicians and street performers, they have all kinds of lights hanging around and... Continue Reading

MEGAFORCEEEEE! There are movies that are so bad that they are actually good. In the case of Megaforce, it would be better to say silly than bad: it’s so silly that it’s great. If you’ve seen Matt Stone’s Team America: World Police, Megaforce will seem quite familiar because it was a great inspiration for the... Continue Reading

Odlučio sam sakriti iza vratašca radio i radio stanicu jer mi se tako činilo najpraktičnije, da ne narušava jednostavnost same konzole. No, za to bilo je potrebno izmjestiti konektor za CB mikrofon. Odlučio sam cijeli proces podijeliti na dvije faze, a... Continue Reading

While picking a movie I always try to give the unknown ones with trashy covers a chance. Especially the ones with the picture of a famous actor that I am able to recognise only after the third try. So I found a movie with a plot happening in the 50s and on the cover – the gladiator himself (Russel Crowe), who plays a nerdy... Continue Reading

The month of June is usually a sort of an endurance test; because that is the time when several vintage and rockabilly festivals take place. The last in the in the row was Trash’n’Burn, festival now held for the seventh year in Sveti Martin na Muri, in the country side. It’s known for being one of the oldest... Continue Reading

Radiona – Association for Development of ‘do-it-yourself’ Culture – Makerspace lead by Deborah Hustić, organised a robotics workshop and put me in charge of it. Since I am a huge fan of old SF movies and vintage culture, we came up with the title Robotics Noir – a pretty undefined name that could be understood in numerous... Continue Reading

For my first People&Cars report, I managed to catch my friend Josip Miljak and his Rex. Rex is in fact Opel Adam Record E2* from 1984. (*markings A,B,C,D,E, mk1, mk2 and similar usually designate the generation of the car). Before everything, here’s Josip’s story. “Records were our cars since 1992. After all... Continue Reading
