Hi guys Following the Death Korps of Krieg army list discussion I felt inspired to do a bit of modelling. I wanted to do some kind of an armoured Zeppelin-kindda-airship-thingy. So I was wondering if anyone know of a manufacturer who sells airships. Preferably ones that are about 10-15 cm. long (although even 20 cm might work!) which I can convert. |

Maquette, a Russian model making firm make a R-100 zeppelin type thing, it's in 1/500th scale, so I have no idea on size unfortunately  .Hannants are one of the biggest model kit wholesalers in the UK, so you might get some luck with them. There website is www.hannants.co.uk |

7-8 cm is a bit on the small side I'm afraid. Doing a bit of research the R.100 is supposed to be about 700 feet long so at 1:500 scale this would be something like 40 cm which, although leaving lots of space for detailing, would be pretty frigging huge for Epic scale  Nice model though.

Hmmm.. Aparently Revell also produces a 1:720 version as seen here: http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/civil/lz129.htm At 24 cm this one is a pretty good size. However it is no longer available from their online store. If aybody would happen to drop by a seller who has them let me know  edit: Found one on Ebay but unfortunately that's a US only auction $10 would have been a good price though...

I really like the gondola but I still thik it may be a bit too small. The more I think about it the more I begin to like the idea if a really really big airship. It definitely gives more conversion oportunity

What about this? http://www.netmerchants.co.uk/product.php/4771/0 Larger scale but since it is for a conversion.... They did have a model of the Hindenberg a while back but no sign now. Cool idea though...can't wait to see the result. |

VERY nice WMN. And the Aeronef digs are a bit small - I own the largest, and it's around 7cm long. |

The Aeronef models are definitely a great source of inspiration for a project like this. I just thought I wanted to do something even bigger. ... but of course i have to actually get the Hindenburg kit before I can do anything about this at all
