Looks more like something the Russians would come up withRandom drop on my pinterest. No idea on the artist, but this looks awesome...
That is seriously cool. Love the national emblem too.Random drop on my pinterest. No idea on the artist, but this looks awesome...
As much as skateboards count as vehicles.Do Jetpacks count as aircraft?
I started making spaceships on Paint. That's just the beginning of the beginning for now. I'll show you my upcoming progress on this thread.

That all sounds like the makings for a cool TL.Huh. I just finished Cities in Flight a month ago and that does look like something out of that book.
Now I'm wondering what movement would use a three-pointed version of the Balkankreuz as an emblem. The Forked Cross was apparently popular in the Rhineland, but the Balkenkreuz is of course derived from the Teutonic Order and Prussia. So we want a German unification movement that starts around Cologne (some kind of Carolingian revival?) that for some reason takes on Prussian colors.
A Carolingian revival...hmmm. Could there be a German Napoleon, who proclaims himself the true successor of Charlemagne and introduces that symbol for spurious historical reasons?
Which one of the three ships are you talking about? I didn't think that making them would make them look like a work of fiction already in existence. What's your book about?Huh. I just finished Cities in Flight a month ago and that does look like something out of that book.

there have been timelines that had a dreikaiserbund (union of 3 kaisers), where Germany, Austria-Hungaria and the UP/Netherlands voluntary merged and each region supplied a kaiser, in such a scenario i could imagine such 3 pointed balken kreuz, as a symbol of the 3 kaisersNow I'm wondering what movement would use a three-pointed version of the Balkankreuz as an emblem.

What's your book about?
That's awesome.Mir-2, circa. 2005. From the world of The Snow Flies: A History of the Soviet Space Shuttle. I've been playing with some old models using a lighting setup from this YouTube tutorial, in preparation for some new AltHist images coming soon...
