Bridge from ‘Singularity Sky’
I’m a huge fan of Charles Stross’ books and short stories and am particularly fond of the anachronistic starship in Singularity Sky. Something about the combination of brass speaking tubes and faster-than-light drives just tickles me in all the right places. This is my attempt to do some vague amount of justice to the bridge featured in the book.
PS. If you like good sci-fi you should read as much of Stross’ catalogue as possible. The man is a modern great of the genre.

Now I’m just embarrassed to admit that I’m not familiar with Stross’ work. Ack! The hologram is particularly brilliant.

Go read some, Andrew. It’s well worth it.

I try to avoid reading sci-fi as much as possible. I do, however, like science fiction known by fans as sf.

It’s always nice to know that whenever I feel like a compartmentalised dork there’s always someone to make me feel normal again ;)

Beautiful. I loved Singularity Sky, and this rendition of the bridge is truly incredible, Tim. Make something from The Atrocity Archives! :D

I’m a big fan of Charlie and Singularity Sky, so love to see him inspire brick creations. Gorgeous model too.

They’re not called fanatics for nothing.
