Me too. I have started to build the Tiger Moth from that film a couple of times. I also have some unfinished greens where I have attempted to sculpt the pirates. One of my very favourite films of all time.

amazing
and I am hunting for zeppelins on ebay....
what kind of bottle is this?

You know, your use of several smaller round balloons instead of one big zeppelinshape just solutioned a problem that had been on my mind for a small airship I'm working on myself. I had considered anything (up to foam rugby/footballs, but couldn't find one in the right size) and was resigned to try and carve it out of foam, but now I know what to do.

Thanks!

in fact I used small plastic cups for cocktails and lunch, I stuck them. 2.50 euro cups. I still have a lot of things to do it.

That is great!!

I'll have to get my hands on the film.

Thats a very ingenious solution to the gas bags on the air-ship. Almost remind me of some of the old "Leggs Eggs'' that they used to package womens nylon stockings in. Those were great for any number of things - Ah - the good old days

Is this 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky'? If it is, excellent, No. 1 Son has a copy of that, I really must watch it...

Yep, me too... Bought foam balls for just that purpose last week.

I've started with cheap round christmas ornaments, because I had plenty available that are the right size and don't get used.
