PaddyBricksplitter Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Hi all, Here's a dieselpunk ship I built inspired by old train and sci-fi rocket ship designs from the 30-40's. Hope ya like it :) Edited August 20, 2017 by PaddyBricksplitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted August 19, 2017 DIESELPUNK! My gosh, this has elements of soooo much! Including the 1930's sci-fi rocketcraft and streamlined locomotive inspirations you mentioned, this creation fits very well within the dieselpunk subgenre of Sky-fi, an absolute favorite of mine! Excellent work, I just love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I really like that minifigure head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I really like that minifigure head It would be really cool if you made a rocketcraft MOC for the S17 Retro Spaceman, perhaps in his uniform colors of Sand Green, Dark Bluish Grey, and Flame Yellowish Orange (as you can tell, I'm a really big fan of that CMF).

Yes I was going to use him but his colour scheme was wrong, it's hard to get bricks in sand green. He's the only minifig I got from that series so I definitely plan to use him for something. I might even buy a few more, he has a cool old fashioned ray gun that I love. Edited August 19, 2017 by PaddyBricksplitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
