That's a cool looking and believable Airship, Brian! Now you need an in-scale 747 flying next to it...

Magnificent!

Somebody better nominate this for the Whiffies (since I am not doing any more this year).

Great idea and great execution.

Absolutely spot-on concept and creativity!

But I second ysi_maniac's "criticism"--the aft jet would be sucking exhaust from the front jet. Woulda been better to offset the jets a little. Airships are traditionally slow, so if the forward jets were simply eliminated....? or one pair of jets put on stub winglets?

When you decided to make a return entrance Brian, you certainly know how to do it ---

Brilliant idea

and very nicely done

Supertom · May 11, 2011, 10:01:05 AM
