Sorry I am not being rude by ignoring your comments but

 ;D ;D ;D ARE YOU ALL STARK RAVING MAD  ;D ;D ;D

Its supposed to be the bad guys secret weapon  and it wouldn’t be very secretive if it was lit up like Blackpool beach.  ;)

Evil Overlord list. 100 things NOT to do!
http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html

2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.
90. I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.
101. I will never put flooding lights on my flag-ship nor running lights anywhere. :D

My brother brought his section up today and we done a bit more work on the thing!






Tail looks twisted in the photos for some reason. Dosen't look like that in real life o_o

A few little bits of detail added.
Machine gun positions



 

All the ladders and stairs are built now and all the walkways cut to size


My brother spent the time adding some stuff to the tail section

It's so beautiful you're making me cry.

I love the details you're putting into this. Thanks for sharing this build.

Dazzle of course  :D

Yup - Dazzle would look great - given its plenty big enough for an ocean-going zep, a mix of offwhite, light grey, and light blue would look very effective IMHO.

I'm sure you can do much better than I did with the carrier.

Is paint going to make this- or spoil it?

wait until he reaches for the matt varnish for the final coat and picks up the black undercoat instead ;)

Stunning!  :o  :o  :o

Words fail the immensity, detail and execution of this build.

This must be the greatest project ever undertaken on LAF surely?
