Thank you Andy! I appreciate the compliment.  While I think you could drop this guy off the roof and have it survive, it doesn't have anything near the 'mad genius' that your creation captures. 

Any suggestions that you might have, just send them on in the thread or PM.  I live in the middle of nowhere with no other gamers about, working in a vacuum is tough and I enjoy other perspectives.

Well, a great deal of that madness was the final fitting out. Are you planning an internal hanger as well? Chosen the plane? lol

REALLY impressive, but you know that.

Are you suggesting  there would only be one plane?  >:(

Nice work on the railing btw. I'm very much looking forwards to the next update!

An internal hanger is in the plans  ;)  That's one of the most interesting things about their build.  It will be the last part completed though...

This is what it looks like when you really want to get things right...the zeppelin graveyard.  Unfortunately when I want to make changes, many times I have to rebuild the entire section.  



Got the rooms covered up.



Test fitting the window placement



Testing window construction



And just to prove there is a window pane in there...

Wow!  :o It's going to be a heck of a sight once done!

Only one model of plane...

And I would suggest it was the insane nature of how the whole fit together, but when you finally release a kit, I have to suggest that will be in the hands of the final builders.  ;)

You might be surprised how marketable the failures would be. I'd like a go at a few, myself.  :?

What might be cool, and it's something we couldn't do because we were doing it by hand, but you could make the top sections too and have a FULL Zeppelin!

IIRC The crimson skies PC game had a level that was a Zeppelin graveyard, including a bar that was build into one of them.  lol Those left over parts might make a good start for such a table.

Especially with a hexgrid-on-Perspex Crimson Skies flight level!  :o

The half sections would be perfect, you know.  ;)
