Dwarf Airship under construction

[white knight]

easiest would be placing a rod on both ends. but perhaps not so much aesthetically pleasing.

I have considered various options (including magic powered and with regular sails), and yes,  it will be a balloon. Though it will be neither round nor zeppelinshaped. I had a hard time coming up with something suitable and it will be three smaller balloons, tied together with ropes. I hope that will still be suitably fantasy. You can see the basic structure here:

This will get covered in putty and such. The top half will be covered in a large sail, to which will be added the cables that attach it to the gondola (so the balloons will kinda be trapped under the sail). I still need to work out a few things, but that's the main idea.

Something like this...

Ooh, that's nice. Not quite the same thing I had in mind, but good inspiration.

You know what, I am pretty sure I owned that atrocity of a ship as a kid. Cant find it anymore tough, darn it.

Then again my attempts at it would probably be dwarfed besides yours, so it spares me the shame.
