No, but I *have* started a 28mm French Navy flying gunboat which I might now rescale to a 15mm "Flying cruiser"…. Does anybody make 15mm 19th century naval ordinance…? Leland R. Erickson

lindberg us navy blimp model. I am converting a ww2 anti tank gun and I have an old pack of minifig naval gatling crew and gun I am going to use as well. |

Call me curmudgeon, oh, you know you want to, I think the hull is big to the bag, for my tastes, and I'm no engineer. ;->= Flattened a bit, say with wicker in place of keel, might be a way to get me to shut it. Oh, there's that curmudgeon thing going on, I suppose. Leland, my venerable SW desert skiffs can't make up their minds whether they're small 28mm Martian shuttles, or 15mm sky cargo lighters. *shrug* I certainly don't claim to have a mind involved… Doug |

i think most of the early digs would have been converted ships. easy to land and this one is getting a set of lifting props as well. |

Going for the well-used and oft-patched look, huh? |
| combat wombat | 01 Apr 2013 6:04 a.m. PST |
its an adventures craft. Rebel minis will crew this baby! |
| Wargamedownloads | 01 Apr 2013 7:59 a.m. PST |
Are those molds in the background? |
 Rebel Minis  | 01 Apr 2013 8:36 a.m. PST |
Scott, I have the pirate naval cannon
With some tweaking.. we could convert it… |
| combat wombat | 01 Apr 2013 9:11 a.m. PST |
we are thinking the same way Mike! Warmgaedownloads:
those are the masters I make the molds from for the star fortress. |
| combat wombat | 01 Apr 2013 4:13 p.m. PST |
Hull work:
probably going to make new props or use something else.

quick question: wings on ships or standard blimp tail configuration? |
| combat wombat | 03 Apr 2013 5:31 p.m. PST |
Almost finished with the bag.

Hi cw, looks great. Are you free for a game of SAGA? Andrew |

He's thinking of me. But it's a nice airship! cheers CW |

Now I feel the need to dig out the Denny's rockey cup that I started to convert into a zepp lo these many moons ago… I was thinking it was perfect for 6mm, but might size it for 15mm instead. The Germans need some air support! Of course, my British airship is 28mm, not 15mm… But htere are those lovely pieces by Tobsen77… You see what this does to me? |

| Rebel Minis | 07 Apr 2013 5:50 a.m. PST |
Will it be on a flight stand? |
| Rebel Minis | 07 Apr 2013 5:58 a.m. PST |
Maybe these guys can crew it
:) British Airship Troops… |
| BlackWidowPilot | 07 Apr 2013 12:45 p.m. PST |
I need FRENCH airship crew, Mitrailleuse, Hothckiss revolvers, and naval infantry, dammit!! Rebel Mike, see my PM to you for details! This rips it! I am now going ahead with that "Cruiser Aerienne" project, complete with rigging cutter ram…

@Dan- Awesome links! Thank man! You always find teh coolest stuff! |

Some French or German airshipmen would be good. Or French and German. |
| J Womack 94 | 08 Apr 2013 2:25 p.m. PST |
Oh, and I am currently looking for a suitable gondola for the airship. |

Rebel Mike, Glad to be of service. Hope it inspires more gaming and more figures! Thanks, Dan |

For my kites, I want some lower hull masts with lateen rigs. Sort of canard wing looking kind of thing. If you were to put a blade along the lateen yardarm, that would slice up some rigging if it passed close enough. But I prefer chainshot for that. |
| combat wombat | 09 Apr 2013 6:32 a.m. PST |
J Womack: Any tohughts on what the gonola should look like? |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Apr 2013 7:32 a.m. PST |
Maybe something like the one on the Hyperion, but longer?
