    Default Scratch the last build!

    I seriously did not like my last build. I did not even finished it, I will work on a new model based on this new 3D design. I hope to work on it soon.





    Have a good one guys!

    Man, I wish I had your skills... I might have a Zeppelin rendered and ready to print a prototype by now instead of floundering with various "false starts" if I did.

    Nice job so far, even with the re-render!

    Diamondback send me a set of prints or a drawing and Ill see what I can do for you.
    Just let me know in what scale do you want it on.

    Amigo, I'll shoot you some links once you finish your A-P and P-S projects--believe me, even a small Zep will be worse than trying to do both of those at once! Col. Hajj is planning one as a "someday later", but I'm hoping that maybe if I can get to building a paper prototype, then maybe Stoff's build and mine could be used as "test runs" to see what lessons can be learned about design, construction, transport, use and maintenance requirements and thus help him have a better end-product when the time comes.

    Nasty part is that Zeppelin didn't seem to believe in evenly-sized panels or consistent angles to join them all the way around...

    No problem and if can be of any assistance with the 3D model let me know.

    Keep plugging away at it! I think you are a Deity of paper-folding!

    Yes I am, I stopped working on the last one. Reason, some how the body felt more like and cylindrical shape than the egg shape that the AP has. The fins did not contour to the body as well as they should. I have begun work on the new design and it looks much better. I have completed the body and I am working on the last two fins.

    Very nice indeed - frankly it looks a bit odd, which is a sure sign that it's an AP alright....

    Precision work! Looks fantastic! Have you attempted to paint the other ballon yet?

    Ha, ha. It is so true, it looks odd. All people that saw me working on it told I should make the body longer as it does not look right. I just had to show them some pics of the real thing.

    A very professional piece of workmanship. It is a credit to your patience and manual dexterity.

    Great job! You're right, it does look a bit "squished" in the front...now paint and a stand and you're ready to shoot it down!

    I'm on a lot of scratch built forums, with a lot of very talented people...I got to say these are some of the most precise designs I've ever seen...excellent work
