After several years I have finally reached a point where I have this in a playable state. Hopefully I will be able to finish it. It is a combination of the original FASA Crimson Skies boardgame and Canvas Eagles.
I have more details and some pictures: link |

Cool! Sounds like a good combination, lordsith. Can't wait to see your rules posted to your blog – and more pics, of course! BTW – who makes that blimp? |

Very interesting indeed. Please keep up posted on your progress. Thanks for letting the TMP community know about your project. |

Thanks for the interest. The zepplin is a modified paper model of the Akron. |

Nice work…very visually entertaining. Can you offer any more information on how you modified that paper Akron? The results are stunning. Tim H. |

The zepplin uses the paper model papermodels.net/p38.html
found here. Instead of the paper engines I used the search light housings from the old 40K tank sprues, they have a nice shape. I airbrushed the model in a light gray since I didn't like the silvered paper look. For the empire state insignia I just took an image from the Crimson Skies web site and enlarged it. The base that the zep is on 1/4" plywood painted in hexes to match the original boardgame. I need to make a new zep and base for the 3d version. |
