Zeppelin (Pic Heavy)

[Wirelizard]

Man, the awesomeness is compounded and compounded!

I admit to worrying about how it was going to be painted, early in the proceedings, but news you have an airbrush (and have figured out the use of same) is encouraging - the base coats so far look good.

I have several "must get this off my workbench, it's been here far too long" type projects to finish, then I think I'm going to do a much, much smaller zepp gondola/cabin setup in pale homage to yours!

[Traveler Man]

Superb, sir!  And yes, please consider writing it all up for a magazine article.

Superb, sir!  And yes, please consider writing it all up for a magazine article.

I agree!

Looking good Colin, that colour scheme works well.   

[Malamute]

I am getting more and more excited about seeing this in the flesh and having a game, can't wait

[Ray Rivers]

 

Amazing...

[Sir Dryden]

It's fantastic, but does it fit on a CD?

Yours truly,

Sir Dryden

[Sangennaru]

i guess so. if is ok to break it, it could also be pressed, until it becomes a thin film, 1 meter whide.

what do you think, hammer-cd-lover? 

[Hawkeye]

Jaw-dropping! 

I'm seconding (or thirding, fourthing, or fifthing) the posts encouraging you to work this up into a magazine article. Truly inspiring.

Oh, and I think it's also worth saying that the paint is looking AMAZING. It's really pulling the whole project together - I can hardly wait to see it all done! More importantly, I can hardly wait to see photos of a game in action on it. It's going to be astounding!

It does. I hangs over a bit on the sides but I am bending the rules a bit for this one.

I am torn between love, and overwhelming jealousy-induced-rage-and-feelings-of-inadequacy every time I check back on this thread.

Give Gamer Mac a Lifetime Achievement Award for this one, but keep him out of the BSC! We'll all look like fools if this behemoth is in! Also, I'll sixth the magazine article thingie. This amazing project deserves it.

Yours truly,

Sir Dryden

Did the devil give you anything else when you sold your soul?

I've so tried to hate this project; I'm quite sure my back isn't up to playing in it. 

However, and this has happened rarely in the past, I'd have to grade this gaming terrain as well on it's way to 'museum quality.'

I started to say it IS, but you might think you were finished, and we've no fear of that...

PS Has Wargames Illu. called yet?

[gamer Mac]

Not quite WI (yet) but I have had some interest

Thought I had better keep you up to date.
My brother is off skiving in Tunisia this week so nothing from him. He has more or less finished making the tail section. It is nearly ready for painting.
I have been trying to paint the cargo section and it is taking a lot more time than I had hoped. It is no where near finished yet. I am not to happy with it yet either. I keep noticing bits I have missed. It's that big that you forget which bits you have and haven’t done. 







Before he went on holiday my mad brother has even started thinking about what he wants to build for next year. He is wanting to build something big but I think I will stick to small things, 28mm, as I never want to see such a big project again.   
Another one on this scale would fill my garage, games room.
