Hello :)

If you liked my balloon presented before I trust you will like Zeppelin even more. It is bigger, better and more playful :) Model which presented here was built this year. It wasn't inspired by any particular airship, it is rather crossover of few zeppelins I could find on the Internet. Comparing to balloons, zeppelins are rigid aircrafts (still lighter than air) equipped with engines & steering so able to flight independently. Some of them were 250m long so in fact really huge constructions. People are usually boarded in gondola attached from the bottom. It is not the most efficient transportation due to its size comparing to capacity, but for sure, it is one of the most spectaculars.

During design and building process I obviously adapted many technics from my balloon, however due to zeppelin's unique shape I had to incorporate many other tricks & bricks. First of all, model uses new technic connectors angled at 168.75 deg what allowed me to build solid front of the aircraft. Tail is shaped using plates with clips and handles and entire model is secured inside by 8 supporting rings which makes it very resistant to damages and keeps its round shape very well and intact.

Model is approx 87cm/34inches long and 34cm/13inches width. Partially its structural frame is made of technic bricks, partially made of system bricks. Surface is covered by different types of plates and on top of it you can apply colorful dots accordingly to instructions or your own imagination. You may try to put your name or your beloved names on it as well and it will look great - very representative banner on your shelf :)

Enjoy! :)
