Königin Luise
« on: 15 December 2008, 03:00:12 PM »
Couple of days ago I did some photo experiments in front of a "green screen" at a friend's home for a kind of stop motion/video shooting project of him and we used my VSF prussian/austrian zeppelin "SMLS Königin Luise". As the pics came out quite nicely, why not showing them here?

So, here is the "Königin Luise" on one of her trial runs, steered by Oberhofingenieur Aloysius Dengel and without her special bombing squad on board. Have fun!

Blimey. Top job. Out-effing-standing.

Though for me the Königin Luise will always be the terror of Lake Wittelsbach, rather than of the skies.  :)

Thats beautiful.

So elegant.  Consider major parts of this build stolen for future copying.

What did you make the baloon from?

Super work AB!  8)

I was only reading about balloons in Palestine the other day.

Looking forward to seeing the other crew members as other folks have commented on.
