WalkingInBlack Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm curious, have anyone thought about making Zipp's Airship or just a crashed Airship, I know there isn't much info on Zip's stolen Airship, anyone have any ideas?

Omenbringer Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Their was a thread about that very thing a few weeks ago when Zipp was announced publicly. The thread is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None the less thanks for the link, but as its in the wrong forum I'll keep this one going until that thread is moved over here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Okay I came up with some ideas where one could start. 1,5 l to 2 l soda bottles which could be used as zeppelin balloon, naturally some things have to be cut off the bottles, and as I don't know the exact type of Airship Zipp has there are to many option but this idea will be based of as it would be a zeppelin, there is also the option of one of the zeppelins from Titan Forge which should/could make it possble to skip the preparation on the soda bottles as they wouldn't be needed, but the soda bottles would be the more cheaper option, especially if you want to have 2 zeppelin balloons. The crew area could be as simple as a cardboard box where there would have been cut some windows and a door, glue some thine clear plastic on the window holes and then glue some cardboard with windows and a door cut out in it to fit the windows and the door in the cardboard box, that would be the crew area, I'll see if I can make a sketch of this, I can't make any promises that it would any more sense then what I have written Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSol Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm of the opinion that it should be illegal to use the Piano Drop action without a fully modeled airship hovering over the board. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a Airship with a piano hanging under it, that shouldn't be to hard to do... well ad least the piano part that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Okay here is a bit more, this was something I found on the net, a example of how the crew area "box" could look like from the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 And here is something a bit different but still about airships, a poster, not made by me but found while doing some research 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 That is awesome and I will be printing it out for terrain in the near future. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampers&nd Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I made large hot air balloons for my ogre scraplaunchers a few years back, by making the base plate out of solid lead and using 2mm welding rod as the anchor rope it meant I could have them 'floating' a good 24" above the table, you could attempt the same thing here if the zeppelin itself is light enough? For a pre-made ship cog-o-two in the UK do a spectacular airship frame in various sizes (this is the biggest http://www.cogotwo.com/kits/large-airship-detail) I used the smallest 40mm size as a prop in my docks factory, it hangs over the door.

Munindk Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Since the first mate has an anchor, I'd definitely go for the "boat suspended under a balloon" look. In my opinion its a lot more charaterful and piratey than the more modern zeppelin look in your first pic And here's a 28mm scale piano: http://store.warlordgames.com/search?type=product&q=piano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snitchythedog Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 This link might help you. He made a fully playable zeppelin and has quite a few photos and he explains his process quite well. Hope that helps. Snitchy sends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
