Do you mean airboats, like in the John Carter books?

I have a half built one that I should really get around to finishing.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Skrapwelder's was a nice model.

These used to be made by Heritige, might still be able to find them on eBay or some such.

I have plans on the table for a larger airship but have not had the time to do the modelling. I hope to have something in the next month or two.

The next one will be a lrager version of the current. A patrol boat that would carry a heavier gun and a crew of about 10-15.
