These Zenith radio sets. The wood facing, and the matching tone face plate for the dial. I like some of the floor ones with the vacuum tubes that when you turn it on there's this pleasant, warm glow. Give this sense of coziness while listening to smooth jazz on the radio.

The Kettenkrad. You know how if you take something normal, but you make a "mini"/"tiny" version of it, then it's usually comes off as "cute"? E.g., Cat -> Kitten.

Well, the Kettenkrad is a kitten tank. I think that's its major appeal for me here.

In general, I love items made of brass, but the simple round brass door knob I feel always gives a bit of class. When it comes to door knobs, I don't know if I prefer brass or bronze, actually.

I think this falls under the 'made of brass' category: the pocket barometer. But it's also because I've found barometers far more useful (maybe where I live?) in determining whether I need an umbrella or not. I've always wanted one. I mean, I can look up the pressure, but I don't know, something about it seems so regal.

I like the amount that the diamond shapes jut from the face plate of a Philip's planisphere. Something about the diamonds on the side I really like. Also, the deep blue v. bronze brown color scheme on most Philip's planispheres is another thing I rather like.

i like images of gun. this is a image of one of the gun i keep under my pc. if the night succubus tries to suck me, i'll shoot her balls off to kingdom cum!!!

did you by chance find out about the kettenkrad from succubi last tour?

>>63276
Of course, like everyone else.

i like female underwear, bikini, lingerie, etc. the intersecting lines, straps, fabrics, patterns, etc. the way it digs into flesh slightly and how the opacity of sheer fabrics becomes something like black cel-shading at the edges when it disappears wrapping around the body. you can model the body topologically as a sphere and the straps of lingerie as bisections of it. you have either loops wrapping around a body part, or strips going between the loops, sometimes the area between loops is completely filled, like in the case of panties, that is just three loops. ive always thought this even since i was a little kid, it is just so interesting visually. i love succubus's underwear. im not a tranny or crossdresser and i dont own any, it's just an odd fixation

I used to have these Swiss army mitts that were really nice that were of a similar style to picrel. They were fingerless gloves with an additional attachable mitt cover. So that way you could switch between dexterity or warming your fingers back up as you needed.

I like PC cases and accessories.

I don't like halftracks. I prefer tankettes and sidecars.

>>63444
Excellent. tankettes and armored cars are the absolute best kind of anti-infantry platform to spam in points based ww2 wargames. I would regularly rout and then overrun infantry platoons using APC's and other thinly armored MG based weapons systems. unsupported WW2 infantry cannot compete with light armor if the engagement is at range

Iirc, the kettenkrad's front wheel is optional, and it often was driven as a fully treaded vehicle.

You should study industrial design. Maybe you are good at it.

I always liked the shapes and designs of medical devices and machinery, photocopiers and certain gaming consoles, like the dreamcast or playstation one

>>63484

Also, all these things ive mentioned share certain similarities in their shapes. If someone knows how this style of design is called please tell me.

>>63484
Man, the Dreamcast is a good one. I love how that thing looks. I know people always made fun of how bulky the controller was, but it always reminded me of a Manta Ray, and I love manta rays. And the triangle+circle of the lid was always nice IMO as well.

I know nothing about industrial design or even any books or how you would even begin to study it. What's the starting textbook for that?

>>63491
Sorry, stingray, not manta ray. Pic for comparison.

Here in my country (Argentina) industrial design is a university major/career. They study about product developement, design, and production.

That controller was awful.
