Air Ship for Pulp and VSF Games

A long shot of the zeppelin

Some months ago I succumbed to the lure of this really cool MDF air ship kit.  I have been staring at the stack of MDF, cardboard, and other bits for months.  Finally last weekend my daughter and I began to assemble it.  During the week we began to paint the various sub assemblies.  While I was gone for two days on business she completed the final assembly.  Storage problems aside, this is a very nice kit and will make for some very fun Pulp and VSF games.

I staged a bunch of my Pulp figures on the air ship to shoot some photos.

The action toward the bow of the airship

The airship kit was from Rusti at Crossover Miniatures:  http://crossoverminiatures.com

A slightly longer shot from the bow

This airship is in five sections: the bow, a passenger section, a cargo section, a stern section, and cone to finish the stern.

You can see some alligator clips holding sections together.  The kit comes with mount points for magnets.  I have to purchase some and glue them to the ship, but for now, I’m using alligator clips.

I think this will make a great centerpiece for a series of Pulp or VSF games.

My daughter did a terrific job with final assembly.  I am anxious to get it into a game soon.
