Such an enormous undertaking and you still manage to do all that trademark fine detail in the radio room and bunk!  :o 8)

I'd shave my goatee off and buy a Wolves shirt to own such a marvel!

 lol  lol

(ok, maybe not buy the Wolves shirt..... )

Wow, it gets awesomer and more insane!


What he said!

Absolutely fantastic idea and execution.  I can't wait to see the final product, but with each step it just sucks me in even further...

Brilliant!

Very interesting and I am keen to see how it progresses. Will it be of any practical use on a game board or just a display thingy?

That is one of THE most inspiring builds I have ever seen. I am really looking forward to seeing the final all painted with a game in progress.

Keep it up and keep sharing the details of the build.

I assume it's for skirmish gaming internally. That's certainly how it seems to have been built.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Not much done but I thought I would post a few more pictures of what I have done today. I am away working for the rest of the week so there will be nothing else done.
Started work on the cargo bay and two walk ways on either side. Going to cover the flat area with balsa wood. Still to make cargo hatch/bomb bay doors on the square hole in the floor. I am thinking of some kind of crane over the bay as well.







Started cladding the outside.



Thanks for all the good comments guys. Great inspiration.
I am not totally to blame for this mad idea, blame my brother for that as well.
As I said earlier he is doing half of it as well. His bit has the only detail so far.
The idea is for the Zeppelin to be used for .45 games. We have a couple of ideas for games that can be played on it. The intension is to make the whole thing quite generic so that it can be used for various different owners. It’s not in the pipeline at the moment but I can also imagine having different modular sections to change the whole internal arrangement.

I wish I had such thing when we were playing CoC "terrifying adventures" - one of these is on zeppelin :D
did you plan the thing from a scratch or there is any source of blueprints or whatever?
