Martian Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Recently completed She now takes her place in my little nest of Zeppelins.

Mike Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You have got a little bunch of Zepps, haven't you? Was it the sanding action that attracted you to build them, or 'other uses' later? They're very nice either way. I'd like a Zepp in my stash, but as 1:48 is my preferred scale, it might be a bit large 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Fabulous. I love the finish, like some sort of strange beetle. (No, the insect, not Ringo Starr). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkp Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Looks very neat - is that the full set now? That's some collection, I wonder what the collective noun for a whole bunch of Zeppelins is? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenSharp Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 In the words of Ernest P. Worrell... What we have here, is a failure to accumulate but an outstanding collection of wonderful museum quality airships none the less. Well done my Friend.. Now you just need to add the Akron, Macon, and Shenandoah to make it complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doable, but I wouldn't want to try and hang it on the ceiling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about four times the usable length of my workbench, so I think we're going to have to leave the Zepps to the experts like Martin 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Very interesting modelling. Like the way they are mounted. Nice collection building; almost enough for a big raid 🤓 You may already have a copy. If not, The Zeppelin in Combat: a History of the German Naval Airship Division by Douglas Robinson (revised edition 2004) is considered the standard reference for Kaiserliche Marine Zeppelins and is a comprehensive if rather dry read. The revised edition has lots more terrific photos than the 1997 original. I had to import my copy from Germany almost 20 years ago and it was pricey back then, as it is now, but there are 2nd hand bargains to be found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
