Building a "pulp" boat airship
« on: January 16, 2009, 12:37:52 PM »
I've already talk elsewhere about my Pulp boat airship, but I finally translated my article!
For those who didn't understand everything : http://fan2figs.blog4ever.com/blog/lirarticle-226522-1124837.html

Hope that will give you a lot of ideas !  :D

I hadn't seen your article before - it looks really good.
Are you going to put up a picture once it's painted?

I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

Yes, but I don't think to do this unless Chaos in Cairo v2 is published : I've started some other projects since.  :?

That's a lovely model and should be superb once finished.

I agree with Odd Duck, though, it does look more VSF than Pulp, but no reason why it can't be used for both  :D

I prefer the rotative engines of my DH2, which seem like recovered from military wrecks after the WWI. But, yes, we can imagine that it can be used for both, with a steam-powered engine inside the boat.  :)

I really like the idea with the eggs... I've been toying with thoughts about how to buid an airship for Puilp gaming for the last couple of years (and some of months ago I was lucky to get the Pulp Figures Zeppelin Truppen as part of a nice deal), so I'm really enjouying posts like this...  :)
