I've been a fan of SteamPunk for a number of years now but DieselPunk in a new genre for me. Are there any other 'punk' genres that would be great for a diorama?
Although I have to admit it's a good build mixing models and transforming them into things they were never intended or in the instructions it's pretty impressive.
There is another genre called 'Atompunk'. It is an aesthetic centered around a view of the future from the perspective of the 1950s and 1960s. Modern depictions tend to use a distinct, brightly-colored art style but it can also appear just as it does in the page's main image. It often depicts imagery associated with "traditionally American" values, particularly a belief in the nuclear family and the suburban lifestyle. But it's important to note that this isn't the "Googie" or "Raygun Gothic" aesthetic; it does not center itself around a utopian future but rather a dystopian nightmare. Atompunk is the dark underbelly of 1950s and 1960s sci-fi characterized by potential dark futures such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, satirical parodies of typically suburban American life such as Dad's Nuke and Futurama. Some of Fallout would consist of the Atompunk aesthetic. I hope this helped.
I remember kits from 30-50yrs ago and were to me as a young boy loved dearly, my dad pinned them to my bedroom ceiling for me inna kind of dogfight scenario...(Sshhh but the Brits always won!) But looking at kits today, the detail is 10x better and watching one of these old ones come back to life such as this was great viewing.
Great idea on converting the plane. I also love the flexibility that 3D printing has given me in my modelling. No more hoping that the detail part is available and ordering it and waiting for it to arrive.
Total high five on the canopy painting haha! If you haven't tried it already, the liquid masking lated is also amazing and makes the masking/painting process super easy. Cheers!
awesome ideal but I got two points of criticism for you. 1: the cowling on the front at the bottom is gonna take a real beating, more so with no suspension. 2: with the body at an angle the driver can't really see where he's going so the arm you put the wheels on at the rear should have been inverted so it lifted the rear up making the top areal level rather then the belly.
In 1989 there was a made-for-tv movie called The Road Raiders, it's set during WW2 and focuses on an American bar owner in Manila who organizes a team of ̶c̶r̶i̶m̶i̶n̶a̶l̶s̶ misfits into a team to help fight the war... They wind up building a small fleet of vehicles with parts from an airplane junkyard. It's kind of a mashup of The A-Team & The Dirty Dozen... with maybe a light seasoning of The Road Warrior... it's 100% pure schlock and I loved it way back when. If you need some inspiration I highly recommend it.
@@ScaleModelGeek I was always fond of the P-51 Mustang mounted on the truck frame with the engine hooked up to the drivetrain by a drive chain, inspired madness.
Sweet ride :) Started a similar build years ago inspired by the Junk Tank Rock Viper racer, but using the 20th Century Toys 1/32 scale Veltro fighter. Made a similar (though cruder) rear wheel arrangement as your build. Have some photos on Flickr as JTR Veltro. Great build as always looking forward to your next upload :)
im only new to modelling so constructing is my favourite part so far because its what ive done the most. seeing my skills get better with each piece is great. awesome video from another aussie!
Man, this makes me want to Kitbash the “P-Dirty8” from that beautiful dieselpunk ad/poster someone did-it’s an amazing bit of concept art if you’ve never seen it, like if you ran Mad Max through Crimson Skies.
G'day to you! Brilliant idea, you seem to be on the same wave length as me Mate, if I was to make it ,I would have left out the back seat and put a camper type bed in it, but that is the Old Traveler in me talking, once again well done you, cheers from Perth WA!
Great work as usual 👌🤩 I like those Endtime-Apocalyps-Stuff...when men collecting trash to recacreate helpful things. Await you next video and of course leaving a 👍 thump for you creativity and work. *Fritti-Verlag* over and out.
Excellent kitbash sir!! I love the diesel/steam punk aesthetic and this wild vehicle would be a hell of a ride. 😁👍💙👍 While I really liked the single rear wheel and the front treads, it makes much more sense in this configuration. Thought the lower engine intake gives this dangerously low clearence. Keep on keeping on good sir!!
Nice work, the first time came in contact with the idea of "marrying" a plane to car was back in the '90's when watching the TV movie (it was actually a pilot for a show that never aired) called Road Raiders (starring Bruce Boxleitner). The setting was on some pacific island where an american transport plane crashed and the survivours had to deal with the occupying Japanese forces. PS : I think the "202" decal comes from a tank, presumably a Tiger.
Great job! I've seen many pictures of WW2 Fighter Planes converted into Dieselpunk wasteland cruisers - usually Fw-190's, Bf-109's, and Spitfires. I've always thought that the one conversion conspicuously absent as I searched online was the Ju-87 Stuka. No longer! As far as I can tell, yours is the first! And the pilot/driver you made in Blender is the icing on the cake! I agree that the classic Revell Ju-87 Stuka isn't up to current standards. But when I was nine in 1969, this was THE kit to have - along with Revell's other, WW2 1/32nd scale offerings! Remember this was a time when most 1/72nd and even some 1/48th scale aircraft gave you nothing more than a rough pilot figure sitting on a plank for the cockpit. These kits, with cockpits that even came with sidewalls, engines, and boxed-in wheel wells were state of the art for the time. I still think there is a place for these old, Legacy Kits, as entry-level models for beginners, scratch building fodder for "Imagineers," and nostalgia builds for older people. My one caveat is that they should be priced very affordably to accommodate kids' allowances and pensioners' fixed incomes. The kit manufacturers could consider this an investment. Again, great job! 90th like.
DieselPunk is such an interesting genre and there are some many great builds out there. The older less detailed kits are probably best left for the kitbash! LOL
Actually... No. The distance between the front and rear axis is too large. A few cm rock or a bump and it'll stuck on it's belly. With this, rear steering is harder to control and with ease will flip the vehicle over. But it could be an amazing racing car!
Good Day Modelcomrade. This is a Great Work and Idea.. An old StuKa Kit to transformed in a postapocalyptic Vehicle.. Only wow... Great build Realy 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐From me Greets from Christian at Germany
Thank you for the entertaining video. I learned a lot from it and the result is great! Blender is very time consuming if you want to get better...I fail at that regularly. Best regards...
@ 0:40 That little figure kind of looks like Ewan McGregor from his Obi-Wan Kenobi role in the Star Wars prequels. The finished model would have been right at home in the classic Mad Max movies from the 1980s. Totally cool!
Small tidbit of advice i can give you for clear parts and masking, spray a coat of clear varnish over it first, then do the colors as normal. The varnish "seals" the edges of the masking and often prevents the extra layer of color to seep under it. Love the result, really reminds me of the Ork speedfreaks model that also uses a crashed fighter jet for the main hull. It has such a cool aesthetic. Also, i'd highly recommend pinning the wheels down to the base over just gluing them down. Keep in mind you're gluing paint-to-paint contact and that stuff will rip off instantly if anything falls :(
I agree with the vest color. I wanted to make the figure pop from the rest of the diorama and that wasn't the best choice in color. Thanks for watching
@@ScaleModelGeek oh, ok thanks still a cool build by the way. You should put your stuff in cinema photography for movie sets or put them on display Incase if they ever wanted to make a movie based on your type imagination in Diorama builds. 😁👍😄It probably because success.
@@ScaleModelGeek I wonder if you ever tried making a post apocalyptic war scape with a war zeppelin dropping a bomb on an unsuspecting country town. You know a German war zeppelin from WW1 I think a diorama of a modern German war zeppelin reeking havoc in a post apocalyptic scene scalemodelgeek.
@@ScaleModelGeek I'm going to do a new custom job on making a 1986 version of the wreck of the titanic bow section so I got to cut the ship and start forming it into the wrecked bow.
And why would thisbe the ultimate survival vehicle ? 1: it is waaaay to long to be practical, little or no storage capabilities , the driver seat is to far back to see if something is in front of you're nose , to much glass that can be broken in to , exposed tires , if there are guns infront they are pointed upwards to the sky , bad armour , etc.etc.etc. 🙄🙄🤦♀🤦♀👎👎👎👎

I hope this helped.
On the opposite end of the punk spectrum, there’s solarpunk. Could make for an interesting counterbalance diorama.
Please tell me you have MORE blender episodes.....
Very cool build! I've always liked the Post-Apocalypse theme.
One of my fave genres of scale modeling
Love the concept and execution - and I enjoyed your commentary. Well done!

My favorite part of building is dry brushing.
Excellent model. I think you should have inverted the cockpit and the front wheels. A, apocaliptic drag car!!

Dude this looks like it could be a series of desert racers
That's a great idea. Like the motley crew from The Whacky Racers.
We had some fun designs in World War Toons. I should bring them out. :)
Don't leave them hidden. Bring them out for the world to see.
As a Crossout player, this heavily reminds me of the Nomad faction.
It has that feel like Mad Max as well

Beautiful! but the bottom intake will suck ton of dust and bump rocks... this one will fit for racing, not to a 4WD terrain...

@@earlware4322 Yep, we'll go with that. LOL
