Colin, It just gets better and better. The plane trapeze idea is brilliant. Truly inspired. :-*

2.- Be careful, by interwar period zeppelins used hydrogen that is why they usually caught fires and had severe safety measures. On board no lighters and matches were allowed. there was only one electric lighter on board in the hall for use by the smoking travellers!

Depends if it's American or not.
So many projects..... so little time.......

You better tie this whole thing down - it may take off soon!  ;)

Still unbelievable.

Sorry even more pictures

More of my brothers detailed stuff. A store room and a sickbay













Part of the store room is going to be an Armoury. Stiil to try and get hold of some guns to stock it though.

I concur.

Its not just the details, the sheer 'love' going into the build that really makes it stand out...

Splendid, quite splendid.

All the little details and scratchbuilt items are just marvelous!  :-*

I received my 1/48th scale furniture today and that stuff is really exciting. Are you repainting it or do just put on some washes?

LOL. Same here, Admiral! I just came here to say a huge THANK YOU for pointing out that shop. I also just received my order and I am especially impressed with the etched brass pub signs and weather vanes as reported here:
