Title: 1/700 airships WIP
Post by: Camthalion on October 16, 2019, 07:56:01 AM
I have started to work on some airships again at the moment.  All the ones in this thread should be 1/700 or 1/720.
I have the Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin II already built, but i'll take pics once some minor repairs are completed.

So the first 3 for the thread  are

A Sea Scout Zero, the Norge and the V6 Осоавиахим.  3d Prints from shapeways.  the roundels on the SSZ are from a 1/700 RAF set, the tail flashes are cut from 1/72 USAF decals  and the other markings are home printed.

That's fantastic Cam and a fine tribute to the great Umberto Nobile. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umberto_Nobile)

You really have a talent for small scales!

I'm into my next block of shifts so no modelling at the moment.  I did however get a photo of my Takara Zeppelin NT plus one with my unfinished C-5 Galaxy for size.

That Zeppelin NT with city-scape base is a little wonder!

I can just see the amazed looks spectators at any show would give this gem which may be the jewel in your small-scale crown. At least until your next build.

Thanks fellas, but the NT is just a snap together.  I only put the photo up for a sense of completeness for me.
