Wooden Miniature Motorcycles

An Ukrainian artist Vyacheslav Voronovich transformed his dream into a form of art by creating attractive and unmatched bikes out of wood, which is eco-friendly. Voronovich's creations seem to be so realistic that you would spontaneously want to grab one, or may be more. His ever growing hobby of creating miniature pieces of art was actually inspired by miniatures he had seen online. Curious to see if he could make a miniature out of wood, Voronovich made a 1:12 scale wooden motorcycle and has been sticking to it ever since.

"It was precisely at that time as a kid that I started dreaming about having a bike of my own, but I never had the opportunity. Yet, my interest in motorcycles never actually subsided, it just became deeper and deeper. At the same time, I enjoyed wood carving and making various wooden artifacts. I was and am to this day particularly fond of miniature handmade articles," Vyacheslav says.

The Real Iron Man Suit Found in China

After seeing the 2008 blockbuster movie Iron Man, Wang Kang, a 25-year-old office worker from Shanghai, China, had an idea. Kang decided he wanted to be Iron Man.

So, on February 26, 2011, Kang started working on his own Iron Man suit in the living room of his apartment. Three months later, on June 3, Kang showed up at work dressed as Iron Man.

According to various newspaper reports, the costume is mainly made of high density foam, wires and tubes, for which he only paid 3,000 yuan ($460). A small price to pay for this kind of reaction. But this Iron Man Mark I costume is very heavy. It weighs around 100 lbs (45 kg).
