This is extraordinary Tim, you have exceeded all expectations. Probably your best so far, and a difficult one no doubt.

Ha, wasn't here last night, glad I found it this morning.
It's just as I thought it would be, another little jewel. True art.
I am especially taken with the wood but more so the way you realized the fabric covering. The way you achieved the translucent fabric and incorporated the ribbing and grunge is just perfect.
As said, I think this is your new high-water mark....

[Dirigible-Al]

I think this is your best so far Tim.
Brilliant job and a vacuform too!

Stunning - the more so as it was a vacuform.

The wood and rigging show all the hallmarks of a skilled modeller.

Truly sublime work Tim, I am in awe of what you've achieved - the finish on the fuelage/hull in particular is magic. Bravo my friend!
