Thanks guys!

End of Wednesday Update:

The zeppelin frame is covered and ready to be painted. No progress on the plane tonight, simply filling and prepping for paint. Now to find a suitable base...

Nice work and quite ambitious for a one-week build.  I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Thanks nev! I figured that since I've entered and failed to finish projects in multiple Group Builds that I owed it to all of you to try and build something a little special.

End of Thursday Update:

No photos tonight, I painted the center bay of the zeppelin frame black and finished filling the seams on the IL-400b (I LOVE Milliput! :wub:). From here on out I will be painting and maybe with a little luck and a whole lot of elbow grease I will finish it.

Echoing the above sentiments...amazing work, museum class work done in a short amount of time.  :cheers:

No more photos until it's finished. :wacko: Majority is now painted, tomorrow is assembly followed by more painting.

Brilliant work - I'm curious to see your final mounting of this.  BTW, I might borrow your airship hull piece design for some ideas I have.

End of Saturday Update:

The IL-400b is finished and the zeppelin is almost done. Found a base (a picture frame suitably modified); tomorrow will be painting and final assembly. It's going to be close but I should be able to make it.
