IHMN Prussian armoured Zeppelin, König Friedrich (King Frederick) Class

[Thorwin]

Here we go , my Zepplin is nearly done. I still wait for my 12,5 kg bombs (with yellow cross marking) to add some little surprise and my flight stand is not ready.

That is well smart, that is!

What can one say except... Huzzah!!  

I've linked this on the IHMN blog.

Lovely! I've been toying with making one of these for years, but the problem is always making the balloon part. Can you tell me what you used for this? 

[Thorwin]

The balloon part is from the lego adventures airship 5956. Sadly it is very rare to find. The steam engine is from a corgi Stephenson’s Rocket and the other parts are from an atlantis toy submarine. The cockpit is from brigade games vsf and the miniatures are from pulp figures germans. The rest are auhagen model train parts and plastic cards.

[Schrekenstein]

Thank you for the reply - I keep looking for a toy or similar with the right shape & size. One day!

[Ebonstar]

This is...incredible!

Didn't recognize the 'bag' at first; should have spotted the pop off tail first glance, don't you know.

Really? You painted over the face? Shocking! 

I shall always be sorry I didn't keep some of the first generation of two litre soft drink bottles. Nicely rounded bottoms would have made fine bag snouts.

I had dozens, once. I had this weird idea that I could make a 'raft of bubbles' out of them.
