Absolutely stunning.
When do we get to see the construction secrets ?

Awesome!

How did you make those motors?
What are the dimensions of the zeppelin?

Yes, what is the length?

I gather this is 1/144th scale?

Thanks for all the great feedback. It's not quite done - passenger windows, name and a few other details. I am busy putting the final touches on the rules so it will be ready for Origins. I am also building scenery for a .45 Adventure too. I have pictures of the construction process and will try to get them up on my blog during the next week or so. I post an announcement then.
Thanks again.

If I remember ... 1/72 scale Zeppelin would be about 4 feet something....

so, what I'm looking at now is more like 1/144th scale I think.  Could be wrong...

If you take a 1/144th scale Wings of War plane you will find out.

Awww, this is a real beauty. : :o ;D :-*

@BigMecha: This one is a 1/144. But while looking at the price tag, scratchbuilding seems more sensible to me. But a little bit dreaming...

yes too pricey Trencher

I might pay that price for those Zeppelins if I was a millionaire or a little less than that   :D
