Steampunk Aircrew Part 4

Unfortunately, I am still recovering from the nasty flu virus going around so I am missing the Tucson-The Time Travelers’ Outpost at the Trunk Show Tour of 4th Ave at which I was scheduled to appear and sign my Steampunk books. As a gratuitous plug – The Travelers’ Club and the Ghost Ship by Michael Bradley is currently just 99 cents on Kindle:

And the sequel, The Travelers’ Club – Fire and Ash is just $4.99 and can be found here:

Both cool Steampunk full length novels with a series of five volumes in the works. I do not make anything from this site except good friends and fun, so feel free to buy a book if you wish and make my day even happier.

Back to the aircrew – This fourth installment is to crew your fourth airship. You cannot pick them all. Do you want to be a sky smuggler, merchant, pirate, loyal military vessel, explorer? The air is yours, you decide.

More Dieselpunk Pictures!

The difference between Steampunk and Dieselpunk and Cyberpunk? All different time periods with science fiction twists. Kind of arbitrary, but the Age of Steam is roughly the Victorian Era from 1830 to 1900. The Age of Diesel is roughly 1890 to 1945. Future is considered “Cyber” as in cybernetic, while present is considered “urban fantasy.” Here then is Dieselpunk for you enjoyment. You can access earlier posts by typing “dieselpunk” in the search box on my home page.

: Would love to have

: Lord Grievous – sorry, been done.

: Diesel hero or villain? Depends on your side.

: Stuka remake

: Nice Chopper

: Tough women for tough times

: Film noir elements

: Early home manufactured submachine gun

: Styled gun with drum ammo

: It ain’t punk without stylish ladies.

: Women in combat? Yes.

: Creepy

: Hover bike

: Stylish Taxi

: Truckin’

: Too small for me, must be a green diesel

: Now this would be a ride

: Too cool

Diesel punk is popularized in Indiana Jones’ movies, Skymaster’s of the Universe, the darker Sucker Punch movie, and the recent animated Tin Tin. Here are some random diesel punk pictures for your enjoyment:
