True I only saw half the film mind but he definitely has screen presence, mind you watch him in "my left foot" thats acting

The only famous movies of his I haven't seen are my left foot and in the name of the father , I'll be watching lincoln this weekend too

And now he is Abe Lincoln... but not the ass-kicking version the kind huddled up in a blanket.

I will still go see the movie with an open mind... but if things go the wrong way I can still imagine in my head that he's Abe Lincoln Vampire hunter and my life would be complete.

The only reason I didn't watch that version.. was because it wasn't Danny! Plus if ( for some horrible reason ) you dong like Dan, tommy lee jones is in it, that guys a ba

sigh... no I didn't watch it either.

Tommy lee jones was awesome in No Country For Old Men, but mostly because the movie was so awesome.

^ agreed and agreed the Cohen brothers make a great film filled with great characters

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, that dosent mean there was a lack of activity, I've been really busy lately cleaning for the holidays and working on an animated short film, but your here for miniatures of course.. well while cleaning my work area I found a plethora of unfinished projects and they are all great and hard to choose from, so I'll take a bunch of pictures write my ideas and have you help me choose which one will be done.. untill next time children!

p.s. I found out someone from my local GW has a thread here on Dakka, its all about Bretonia so give it a look see will ya - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/427336.page

No Country for old men seemed like they ran out of budget at the end. Great movie I agree, but I felt it was unfinished somehow.

Let me pitch an idea to you...
(p.s. that is an empire solder for scale)

argh.... yeah do this... i just lay here and bleed myself to death...

at least you will hopefully complete an airship in your life time then

nice toy...with lots of room for cool ideas and much more

Strange IG ship but I like the idea is this for an empire force, just a personal project or another completely different game.

This is for empire, I have a completely different toy for the ig ship

oh rouge, you so silly. Love the idea, get a flying stick for it.

That is serious business dude! People love flying ships for some reason. The toy will need quite a bit of work to do the idea justice however... although I think there are tons of resources out there for model ship building that you could bring into play. Got to have rigging

Yea I'll have to do some research I am new to steam punk and know nothing of ships

it is a whole other world... much like the world of trains...

The other issue is that it would take a bigger balloon to keep the thing in the air... I'd say that is number one issue. Second is some kind of wheels or landing gear since the hull is flat.

The balloon looked a bit odd in the picture yes, should I go one giant balloon or multiple smaller balloons? And landing gear, good idea I defiantly want this thing to be able to land at some point

 Rogue Wolves wrote:

I'd say it depends on the solution for modelling them. If it were me I might think about something that's actually inflatable... that way it wouldn't take up space. Otherwise, you could probably use some kind of large soda bottle thing? One big balloon is more iconic I think, separate ones might cause it to look more haphazard.

Thanks for the input meade I think a nice large soda bottle will work, Pepsi most likely since its nice and round...

I think it needs to be at least the size of the ship if not a little longer, soda bottle would work but why not paper mache it, that way the ballon section will way next to nothing.
You could ask Vik for some help and design tips ………. o wait he never finished his did he

Mate, flying ships are awesome, so do it! I've been thinking about that for veeery long myself

My suggestion is that for a ship with a back side high raised above the deck the balloon is not the best option, as in reality the balloon should be many times bigger then what's attached to it, so in fantasy it should be at least longer than the deck to look fitting. And thus you might raise it higher above the deck making the whole model look vertically stretched and kinda clumsy...
Try considering wings, propellers or a mix. You can even try to place several smaller balloons on the sides or inbuild them like on the air pirate ship from the Tail Spin animation...

Hope my ramblings make any sense )

Storag is right a balanced look would be better, A large ballon above with either wings with some kind of propeller mechanism or a small inflatable section around either sides, or a collection os small balloons netted to the sides.

Excellent , an airship , i say go for it i am sure someone else on this forums started one a aeons ago..

the ship in stardust is rather nice http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w5Rlk4tbRyk/TOrQmdbLCcI/AAAAAAAAABQ/QJqiFskuNtQ/s1600/stardust+airship.jpg

Some pics of what I meant

2 balloons


inbuild




other

Great Idea RW! Can't wait to see what you do man.

Thanks all, Neil that stardust shIp was the original idea, but after seeing these other designs storag and Neil showed me I think I'll do some revisions

Rogue Wolves wrote:Yea I'll have to do some research I am new to steam punk and know nothing of ships

in my opinion... getting into steampunk can be done just with your own imagination... of coourse it is always good to get some cool impressions from other meddlers in that theme... but you also can achieve cool things by sticking to your own ideas... it is a very forgiving theme with rather broad and not heavily guarded boarders
