Title: LZ17 "Sachsen" in 1/250th Scale from Jeff Koppe
Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on July 26, 2026, 02:51:43 AM
All...
Trying something a bit different this time.  It's a free download from a site called Landships II (http://www.landships.info/landships/models.html#).
It's 1/250th scale as printed but you can make it other scales too.  As is it'll be almost 2 feet long.  It seems simple but it does have some interesting assembly ideas like a triangular central keel.  I'm excited to get started.  The first thing will be to back the formers with 1/32nd balsa and make the keel from thicker paper stock.  I'm also going to emboss the parts a bit for more character and I think I'll need to repaint the machine as my printer has too many streaks in it.

Here are shots of the "kit".  Wish me luck!
