[Yankeepedlar01]

I'm making an airship for my Pulp games. Its very much a 'work in progress', so don't be too hard on me. Its on page 6 of my Pulp Adventures Gallery ~

The use of tissue is ingenious. What did you use for the frame, just plain old wire?

Spot on.

[Phil Robinson]

Hey Bingo old bean thats a pretty good effort there, I'll have 1/2 a dozen for the Greater German Army please

[Phil Robinson]

oops should have said its EGGScellent ::

[twrchtrwyth]

That's inspiring me.

Looks stunning! A tad on the small side perhaps (the hull, I mean)?

[Yankeepedlar01]

Yes, it is on the small side, but its a 'game token' rather than a scale model ~ I know my limitations. Its 9" long and 4" high, so way too small in 28mm scale, but its fun I think.

The frame is a cardboard tude with a cardboard strip over frame. The tissue is PVA'd to that, anchored at bow and stern by the polystyrene 'egg' halves.

I think it's great and would be perfect as a representative model. The frame really adds to the look.

Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if a 2ltire coke or pop bottle would work for this too?

Probably would. Or 2 bottles (using the top ends for fore and aft, instead of polystyrene...?).

Over at The Major General´s site is a nice airship done just that way:
