Looks about the same size as a certain Zeppelin to me...  ;)

Duel in the skies!!! Neff vs Zep!
Go on, you know you want to...

 :D


Dam.....I didn't think anybody would bring that up!! ;) that just wouldn't be fair though, a huge massive steel can bristling with cannon, against...........a balloon! :'(

How are you planning on doing the hull mate? Looking at the pic, you've, so far, lasered the main deck?

Also.....is this going to have a cargo bay big enough for a certain wizards tower? It looks big enough? ;)

Balloon goes pop  lol

To be honest, I'm not that sure about the hull yet  ??? I think it's going to be ribs and then either clad with styrene or 'filled' with blue foam and then coated. Not sure on the exact shape but I do think it should have a ram  >:D

Tower is longer  ;D

Okay, one point: nef is boat or ship, right? You didn't even use an apostrophe. Is this currently planned to be the original Mikasa, or a flying version? I assumed the former, and would love same.

Neff as in aeronef. This ones gonna fly  :D

You do realize that the next logical step in this dangerous game of hobby brinksmanship is drone nefs?  Be careful not to let your insanity run unchecked or we shall expect mid-air battles in scale with real projectiles etc.  :D
This is my boomstick!

Well, I guess it won't seem all that big once you've finished your apparent scheme to map out the entirety of Mars in 28mm... I assume this is simply the flagship of a projected Japanese Martian battle squadron? lol

question is, will it land or will it need a docking station?  :D

Yet another jaw-dropping project from you James!  :o

Since you have all the drawings and what-nots ready, you need to make another not-a-neff one for the early 20th century gaming  8)

Such a modest project. You really should do something larger.

Ha ha ha

No

You could... all the other cool kids around here do boat builds in half. Half in 'waterline' mode and an additional hull piece for display/air gaming.

 :D  :D

I better skeddadle before I have something thrown at me  ;D

If I lived in England, I would gladly toss my Aeronef Carrier and escorts against that.  Fancy a trip to Oregon?

Of course, I'll need to add some guns.
