The Last Zeppelin build . . .

**clipper1801** · 06-09-2014 22:30

Yeah, its been fun but these are the last for a long while, this makes 110 Zepps out there, enough for a while, other projects beckon. I have forgotten who all requested them so PM me. John Macek, das Phantom, Tusekine, Ron and Fast Git, still interested? I will be finishing them this month as requested . . .

110???!!!

Respect!

Did the Germans make that many???

On to the next war!

What a fantastic total Dave.
With any luck, three of them should be flying together at Doncaster this September.

Sure, our Two-Fisted Pilot Tales game ended last Friday, but I could still use one for Wings of Glory.

Nope -- between 80 and 85, depending on who's counting.

Clipper: Better than Imperial Germany. >;)

Guess it's better for us that Imperial Germany didn't employ elves

I think the USA had the Elf concession -- it explains how it was able to churn out so much stuff in so short an interval.

(Perhaps that explains all the European legends of the Elder Races packing up and leaving -- they came to North America, eventually interbred with the European settlers, and created Americans. >;) )

You need to make one last one with a BLACK & RED paint scheme, then raffle it off to the "COLLECTORS"

A while -- I just enjoy inflicting Puns on people. >:)

I think Frank Castle would have a problem with you trying to contest his title... (The Punisher) :P

Nah -- I'm the Punslinger. :)

**pbhawkin** · 06-20-2014 17:22

David,
I sent you a PM did you receive it?
For some reason my sent PM box does not show PMs I have sent!!??

**clipper1801** · 06-20-2014 19:14

Yes Peter I did and put you on the list. There is a box to check on your PM preferences to keep copies of your messages. Meanwhile I will let all know soon what will be available, thanks!

**clipper1801** · 08-01-2014 17:09

For those on the waiting list, the work is continuing!

40 hand carved props today, in the paint room all brown now . . .

The painted hulls awaiting top gun stations . . .

What are those white things? New distractions!

**clipper1801** · 08-01-2014 21:46

We have windows!

**milcoll73** · 08-01-2014 22:31

i want one of these eventually so dont go and do anything silly like breaking the mold!!!!!

how much does one of these run anyway?

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 08-02-2014 01:05

So Dave, it is the end of the Zeppelin scourge for you then.

They are certainly looking good, even in this semi finished state.
I can't wait to see where your whimsey directs you next.

Rob.

Soon zeppelins will be more common at conventions than triplanes!

Well, with the relative size, probably not. But we can have triplane escorted Zeppelins!

Just to let you all know I received one of Clipper's Height climber Zeppelins yesterday.
WOW!
A big box that did it's job to perfection with a totally undamaged model inside.
The Zeppelin is as good as it looks in the pictures and I loved the information pages, stand and WoG crew placement and information cards.

Even at 1/214 scale it dwarfs my WW2 planes! In the display case below it you can perhaps make out: Dornier 17s, Wellingtons, Dornier 26, Heinkel 115, B&V Ha139, Junkers 88s and a P-61 and they are ALL tiny in comparison.

Anyway, thank you David for such a unique and wonderful model that has certainly got my 3 young sons asking lots of questions!!
