Eff me Colin! That is stunning!   :-*  :-* Now you've got our attention you and your brother will have to finish it  ;).

Are you intending to mount it on anything? Oh and how much is in the swear box so far? That doesnt look easy by any stretch of the imagination! 
Don't!

I think the bits will be mounted on MDF to steady it all. I certainly don't intend it to hang from the roof or any thing like that.
Its not that hard to build, once you get the hang of it. It is a pain to cut out all of the bits and sore on the hands to punch out the holes.

And did you have to eat all those Crunchy Nut Cornflakes too?   :o :o :o  ;)

Brilliant concept, Colin, skilfully realised (so far!)
You're not bringing this down on the train with you in October are you?  ;D

The airship is going to be sponsored by crunchy nut (only kidding)

It is our intension to bring it down but in a car, if it fits and also if the concept is gameable.
If we bring it don’t expect to see us three changing clothes as there will be no room in the car for such niceties.
