    Cant wait to see how well it Explodes when it gets a Rocket or incendary burst from one of the Bulldogs!

    It is the first balloon other than Clipper's Zeps that actually looks as if it were made of the right material, with that slight deflated look that they get when in the wind. It also looks light, unlike the Nexus lead balloons.

    Right now, from certain angles, it looks a bit like a big... Richard? William? Rooster? You get my drift.

    Can't wait to see the finished product (and to try and make one or two myself!!!)

    Thanks, Rob. Yes. It is light. Just thin cardboard, paper and wood glue. It weights less than 20gr.

    Thanks, Bilibo.
    I'll make a PDF with all the balloon pieces already corrected and I'll put it on the files today or tomorrow.

    Thanks, Andrzej. You are most kind, but I can easily point 3 or 4 guys here in the 'Drome with much more talent to paper than me.

    Oh, they do have ears! Hadn't noticed, I did not get past their other attributes.

    I need some information to clarify my sources.

    The British never marked their balloons with their cockade, am I correct?
    The colour of the British Caquot balloons was olive green or grey.

    Please tell me if I'm correct. Thanks.

    Done! I really don't know if I should have put the cockade. But... it gives the Balloon so much colour that I decided that in my game table reality, the WW1 british High Command decided to put the cockades...

    The swords would certainly take some getting past or hadn`t you noticed.
    I`ve actually had previous experience with such ladies (dont ask!).

    Nicely done, Quim. I'd never make it better. Colours are probably correct, but anyway, that does not really matter. One point: please remember, that the base of the balloon is much larger and if you are to decide if the sausage has been hit (or in case it has expolded and hit a plane nearby), you ought to use the proper base dimensions.

    I'll use the Burning Drechens base for today. But I'll have to make some bases with the proper dimensions.

    Nice balloon Joaquim!

    I hope your Albatros isn't able to bring this handmade beauty down!

    The Bulldogs will do an alert start to protect it.

    Do German planes have rockets to shoot down that Behemoth ?

    Explosive bullets... Shhhh... Don't tell them...

    Thumbs up

    Fantastic Work Quim!
    Love the colour & the Cockade.
    You do know that BRITISH Balloons can be filled with non flamable Gas so they can never Explode!

    Nice work mate. I like the roundel for the extra colour, historical or not

    I have a spare base that I made for my balloons Joaquim. I will pop it in when I send my decals over later this week.
