Hi All! Been out of the VSF loop for a bit but getting back into the groove… introducing the Daley Brothers Steam Powered Armoured Attack Balloon Mk II… This scratch build was long in the making, I started it early this year but our overseas trip interrupted construction and I just got to it again! Parts list
Foam ball from a fabric shop
Styrene sheet
Plastic tubing
Metal washers for port holes
Pins for rivets
Balloon super heater is a couple of LEGO bits
Smoke stack is part of an electric toothbrush head
Some wire
The Elephant Gun barrels, propellers, and bottom hatch are all old 1/35 left over model kit parts Here's Captain Darling taking one for a spin and lining up to attack a German in a Fokker Dragon Fly…
The gondola/balloon…
More pictures and lots of blurb stuff on my Blog!
