And now the nightmares will start again. All that therapy wasted. Drat and double drat!

Apart from a brief interlude at Melchett Towers for refreshing and much needed  out of silliness and where I narrowly survived a gas attack from the Hound of the Melchetts (She guffed about two inches from my nostrils)* nearly all of the past few weeks have been give over to making sure that the M2 Class Zeppelin kit I commissioned would be finished in goodtime for Telford. I replaced all the struts and outriggers with soldered Albion Alloys brass rod of different diameters, fabricated new tail surfaces from 30 'thou plastic card , scratch built engines for the open gondolas of the type and rigged the model with 0.1mmAlbion Alloys nickel silver rod.

 

So, without further ado, I give you Oberleutnant Otto von der Hagen's Zeppelin L.37. More pictures will be appearing imminently in Ready For Inspection.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

* @general melchett just laughed and queried the source of the stench until I pointed out that it wasn't me and that the was the only other carbon based life form in the room. There was, however much concern in the village that Baldrick's pants had escaped again or that the General's cooking had gone AWOL so evil was the whiff.  emanating from Melchett Towers. The local airbases went on full chemical and biological alert and, as a precaution, Porton Down were asked to despatch decontamination teams.

Outstanding Martian. You are truely the Master of the Teutonic lighter than air tube steak! Good Luck at Telford.

[Pete in Lincs]

Glad you escaped the evils of Melchett towers and got home safely.  No doubt your bowels and sense of smell will recover in time.

The L.37 is looking rather yummy.

It was her way of letting you know how much she thought of you, a treat reserved only for the finest of guests (plus, I think she found something to tickle her fancy secreted away in your irresistible face fungus). The airfields have now been stood down, NBC teams returned to their games of Cribbage and the Porton Down lads joined myself, and the erstwhile Lady M, for a 'friendly' game of murder ball and of course, a spot of Tiffin.

Just finished this afternoon, my1/350 rendition of the Army Zeppelin LZ.85, shot down over the Vadar Marshes, near Salonika by HMS Agamemnon 5th May 1916. All the crew survived. More pictures in Ready for Inspeection.
