F70 Double Falcon

Check out this beauty by Vince Toulouse!  He continues his dieselpunk theme with this fetching flying-wing design, with a dash of P-38 thrown in to spice it up.  Having the engines integrated into the wings are a clever way to reduce the drag coefficient.  Although I'm not sure how the landing gear factors into that equation, I'm sure it evens out, one way or another.  Either way, I bet when Vince is swooshing this baby around his place, he just knows it's awesome!

Ushakov's Flying Submarine

Yeah, the Soviets really built one of these!   Ciamosław Ciamek has created a model of this obscure and fascinating piece of engineering history.  Designed by Boris Ushakov in the 1930s, then tested in the 1940s, the project unfortunately never seemed to "take off,"  and was cancelled in 1953.  However, with today's technology, it's possible that someone may revisit the concept.  That would be wicked!

Machine N°5

Vince Toulouse has created another striking machine.  You may recall his Polar Transport a while back, this time he's built a bullet train.  It's a fine example of the obscure genre dieselpunk, in fact one of the finest ever built.  This thing is awesome, with bold colors, loads of interesting details, and a fair number of elements I don't think I've seen before.  And those fins made form the mars rover panels are excellent.  The open cockpit on the top is a great idea, too.  Check it out!
