1:72 XB-35 finished

I hereby  declare my 1:72 XB-35 model completed...

I kept the aircraft a flat gray, rather than an aluminum color--

I wanted it more stealth like--more dieselpunk,

 it was, after-all, the father of today's B-2 bomber.

I also refrained from adding gun turrets.

It is after all my artistic interpretation of the XB-35 and 

not intended as a direct historic comparison.

I may add 1:72 ground crew and assorted support machinery

to the hardstand display with the XB-35. It is not a 

necessity, more of an experiment with building and painting the miniature 

1:72 equipment and figures.

I may also detail the hardstand. 

The aircraft itself however is now done.

It was a somewhat difficult kit to build..perhaps due to it's age,

and do the the actual physical structure of the aircraft.

The next 1:72 aircraft kit i am working on in my dieselpunk aircraft ,

nerd cave decorating project

is the Junkers F.13 I will be constructing this model in the floatplane version.

I have described my model aircraft selection 

as a drive to represent dieselpunk design.

I thought it might be appropriate to provide a definition.

define dieselpunk

Dieselpunk is not simply a made-up mental art form.

Dieselpunk can be found surrounding us

in everyday life as evidenced by the below 

photograph from a Russian beach.

Dieselpunk to me, 

depicts the world as it might have been....

design wise. 

"Good design doesn't date."
