Well... I'd love a zepplin, but they are HUGE! And i'd just bought a Fokker D.VII off ebay... and the poster shows a biplane dueling a 'dactyl while the mother ship flies above... and I'm to cheap to buy a zeppling anyway... although I did build on once - A dwarven one!
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

You could always get this flaming gas bag and put it in the background, as a "forced perspective" diorama. It's a "real" Hindenberg and at 3" long, it's in that ever popular 1/2648 scale.

I've never been a fan of forced perspective. It only works when viewed from the right angle, and since you don't always view a model from the same angle it tends to look silly. It's fine for boxed dioramas, but an open display like this doesn't work.

That's got to be worth watching, right?  :blink:

Checked on IMDb and it is a genuine film. I might try and download it for a laugh sometime! ;D

Superb quote from the website "At the Sci-Fi Channel, What-If is what's on." :thumbsup:
