Thanks for showing the world your package.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome!
Good to see one of Clippers models in a new home.
Nicely done video! Shame about the damage to the Zep. :(
I did up a base card for my zeppelin, but it was 1/214 scale:
OldGuy59's WWI Central Powers Bombers Album - Zeppelin Card
I used a piece of white plastic cardboard, cut to size, and glued the paper to the cardboard as a sized base. The base fit in the shipping box, on top of all the other stuff.
If you are interested in using it, please draft print it to fit your Zeppelin, and let me know what changes are needed to get it to fit your 1/144 scale model.

Spotted this on YT nice Philip and Clipper.
That was fun! Damn those things were huge, eh! Left a comment for you on YouTube to get things started.Quote:

Well done on the video, Phillip! :thumbsup: Enjoy your Zeppelin model!
Great video and nice pictures, Phillip!
Enjoy your Luftschiff!
I use Chrome exclusively - no problem posting pictures (especially now that I disabled the WYSIWYG option that was causing duplicates)Quote:

How big is your storage space? The Wings of War/Glory WWI plane scale is 1/144. The ground scale (based on the length of arrows vs the speed of planes) is 1/900. The Zeppelin could be anything in between.Quote:

My first Clipper Zep was a camouflage 1/214 scale model.
My second, tan Zep was a 1/144 scale beastie.
As Mike said above, showcasing a Zeppelin at a convention draws the punters in, then we snare 'em, coach them then get shot to bits by them!

Awesome and honored for sure, thanks! Amazing journey they have after they leave home, ah the places you will go! Might have to finish these other ones . . .

Very cool Phil, thanks for the video. I feel so inadequate with my baby Zep now.:p Looks like you'll have to run the next Zeppelin game at Origins.

i will most certainly run a game at origins (assuming it happens)! hopefully origins will be gentle with me my 1st time lol.

I previously used to see the actual photo when preparing to post.
One of the server updates last year made all my pictures duplicate at the end of my post.
Changing the setting to Standard Editor corrected that.

At the top of the page click on Settings then General then scroll to the bottom to Miscellaneous Options.Quote:

There are two options - Select Standard
Scroll down a bit further and there is another option for Enhanced Attachment Uploading
I have that one selected.
There is a note after that:
The forum features an enhanced attachment uploading system that allows you to reuse existing attachments via a drag and drop interface.
Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use the enhanced system. If you experience problems with the interface, try disabling this option.
Hope this helps.

Glad to see that worked for you.Quote:

I included that bit of text just in case that was your issue.
Nice work Phil, left you a comment on YT as well. Thanks for taking the time to share.
and heres the repairs update for the damage done by the USPS heavy flak guns! it was touch and go there for awhile but the diligent work of L11s crack (or on crack) engineer crew pulled her through her travails! curiously one of the crew found an empty bag labeled "purina elf chow" near the sight of the damage. dont know what to make of that one!
