Airship part 4

I though it would be cool to see a pilot and some cockpit detail through the bubble. I imagined the pilots seat and controls to be an open framework that used gyros to stay level while maneuvering. With this in mind, I built a structure out of 1:72 tank parts and Evergreen plastic.

I found some HO scale astronauts that included a couple of seated figures.

The two antenna-like stalks on either side of the hull were made from kit parts and some Evergreen rod. The top details were carved from 1:35 helicopter blades.

At this point I'm ready to start painting. First a nice foundation of grey primer.

To be continued...
