Really sweet.

I was worried that a "one-man blimp" might be a very fat man ...

Excellent work.  :-*

Now you only have to build another 17 to complete the squadron. ;)

"Hey there, Blimpy Boy, flying through the sky so fast and free"

As sung by Homer Jay Simpson to the tune of "Charley Girl"  lol   lol

That's a fantastic model. Completely implausible, yet brilliantly executed in true VSF fashion.

Superb  ;D

Nice Paintjob and a good choice of the weapon. Well done!

However, I would have flown the white ensign in a boldly manner instead of the R.A.F. markings. But that's just me...

Great work.

I'm thinking of getting my hands on a few of these and trying to paint the float to appear as though its made of canvas. Maybe a line of stitching and a net over the top might do it.

Don't think Tobi's put them up on the site yet.

@Trencher: My extensive research has shown that these are exactly the right markings for a RNAS One Man Blimp circa 1879  ;)
