Your Workshop or Area

[AlwynTurner]

This is my workshop mid-build, photos, blueprints, scrap styrene, tools everywhere, but it works!

Well, you guys should be getting to know me just a tad by now so you shouldn't be surprised that the photo of my workspace takes the form of a video.

There's a story behind that blimp. You can't buy those, they were only given away to auto parts stores and tire dealers by Goodyear. It took quite a bit of money spent on my 1968 327 Chevy small block before I was able to convince the guys at Canton Auto Parts to obtain one for me.



Any of my British Buds wanna see the Hawker get built? I haven't done a single plane since I bought my first tank, but lately I've been considering it. An OOB build of the Hunter might be just the ticket. Not long ago I saw a thing on TV about this chap that has a real one. Made me slightly green with envy, if you can relate.

Very jealous Gary!

Is that a radio controlled Blimp. Gary" If so, it would be a great platform for filming and spying on the Tank Village...The Goodyear Blimp looks very like the Skyship 500 used in the Bond flick..'A view to a kill'. That was moored at Leaves den Airfield, near Watford (now Warner studios,where Harry Potter movies were made) and I used to see it when visiting a friend there (I worked in London local Government at the time).. I'd love an RC Blimp...no, not Roman Catholic..

Erm.......



It's generally no where near that bad though!

Lol, it was always like that!!

No, not an RC blimp, and don't put thoughts in my head!!

I'd love to do a model of the new Airlander

I wonder if a cheap quadcopter would do for the rc/propulsion with a partially filled helium envelope for bouyancy ....... Hmmmmm
It would be a matter of how to make the envelope and make it gas tight. Or maybe somehow make an envelope and put a couple of helium balloons inside? There's a party balloon shop at the end of my street.......
