Going to need it I think....



Front and middle.

Love those! No idea what they are... but I love them!

Ahh I start to get a better idea of the new blimp having looked through this one.

Can not wait to see the results

Yes I thought that as well I need to lift my game me thinks

Will be attempting a plastic skin, but see how I go.

So this is it for now, back to work tomorrow.....




Inside very rough paint job, just to give a hint, if you can see in after I have finished, anything exposed will get a better job later....

Thanks for stopping by.

Interesting re-boot. Have you ever constructed one of those balsa wood and tissue paper airships or planes? I think the construction methods used for those projects would be of help with this project.

Fitting the plastic skin might work better if you cut it into strips and wrapped it around the circumference, hiding the seam at the bottom, where it will be covered by the gondola. For the tapered front and rear, I would cut and fit the panels like I do domes for buildings. Or use a thinner material.

Ah, so the OOOPS! is the Orkenberg disaster!

Great start although i think you are making this more difficult by using plastic as the skin have you not considered other avenues to make it easier to achieve like maybe fabric or paper mache hell I think I have even seen one made using tights Good Luck

A simple guide to create a demonic skin grandfather Nurgle by studio Fantasy Game.

1. Take a flat surface , the author took a piece of PVC plastic (metal can not be taken , it is possible to take cover from the plastic container ) and any clerical PVA glue .

2. Pour glue on a flat surface and roll out a thin layer to the desired volume of us , it is desirable that the thickness is not greater than 1 mm , the excess can be removed.

3. We put the whole thing in the microwave for 30 seconds.

4. Then a bit of magic and that's demonic skin is ready .

5. superimposed on the model and color .

With a little imagination , this method can be used for many other things , for the decoration of stands for Tyranid etc. etc.

(возможно пригодится) may be useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks very promising Cam! Can't wait to see more!

looking pretty good, Cam! what kind of plastic are you using to skin the blimp?

I like this crashed blimp idea cam.

Thank you all for your words, and ideas. Very much appreciated.

I am trying to continue with this but time is against me a bit. But...................

Skin going on...



Stitching.....



I am using this.... it's a split down old serial cable from a printer..... don't use thes any more, but the wires are brilliant for us.......


Thank you for looking in, hope to be back to normal service soon enough.

That's a lot of stitches....

Indeed. I cannot think of a way to do that sort of thing any quicker either.

The presence of the baby powder container in the background of a few of the photos, amusing Surprisingly useful stuff.

Really the only other option would to be "grab a tub of sculpting medium of choice and go to town".

@Cam--i do not envy you the task of stitching, but it looks awesome. is that melted sheet styrene?

Wow, I always love your vehicles. The buggies are looking great, but the blimp...wow. That looks so orky. Can't wait to see more.

Thank you all so much, greatly appreciate your thoughts and time guys....

Sorry no update so to speak, but a naughty pic or two. Just got this in from one of my fave ebay shops. Trolltrader. and my favourite 2 words search "BITS BAG"....




The highlights after a quick glance....





I got a fair bit for my money. A squad of 6 bikes. Oldschool dread, some great grot specials, few nice old school orks, plus at least a 10 ork unit of nobs, about 40 or more ork boys and lots of bits.

If you see anything special you need PM me. Lot of it is not complete, but for me that is no problem.

Hope to actually do some modelling tomorrow night, we will see though.

The stitching adds so much to it's looks.

Can I ask why this part appears to be covered at both ends, I thought it was going to be in pieces?
edit: maybe it's just the camera angle...

Good haul. I spy a Space Crusade Ork and Gretchin... and that's as far as my recognition of models goes.

nice old ork dread there!

so YOU are the guy that outbid me...

Nose is looking good there Cam, and as others have said,,,nice haul of old orks there!

Hey.. Nice Blimp!.. Awesome stuff again!

Thank you everyone.

Yes I am still alive honest.....slow but sure I guess....



Cheers

Ah, it makes more sense now, with the tether and stand.

And 2nd ed orc bikers. I haven't seen those in 15 years. Wow.

Cool more of the Waaagh-en-Burg

Ahh wow Cam...you sure go in deep with your scratchbuild projects. This is looking to be a great build! So much fun and humor. I gotta love despite my irrational fear of blimps in RL!!
Cheers
