@TheLatentImage Wanna check out my flying ships?
Thank you! @Ctracerx2
Thank you! @PlanesAndThings
@Stingray yeah, I saw his come down the ticker. But I haven't check it out. You did well on this build, it looks great man.
Thank you! This is my first "thick wing" project. It handles in the air like a "heavy" air-battleship should, I hope. WalrusAircraft posted a steam punk battleship at the same time, his looks fantastic (lacks some stability, though). @TheLatentImage
This thing is awesome man.
Thank you! @flyingsteve88
Thank you! @AlphaOneIndustries
Thank you! Yes the genre allows creativity. (Not a model out of the "box".) @Delphinus
@TheLatentImage You were interested in the beta Dreadnaught model, here it is.
Not a Steampunk Challenge entry since airborne battleships are not mentioned, only "aircraft".
