Airborn - Airship Aurora
Well, been a while since I last posted a model! Things have been pretty busy with me so far...
Anyways, I decided to do a paper model of a subject very close to my heart. Kenneth Oppel's book Airborn is a young-adult work that I read during elementary school days...it was probably the first book I read where I truly related to the characters, and every page kept me riveted. It's a swashbuckling adventure about a young cabin boy working aboard a luxury airship in an alternate timeline where airships continued to grow as a means of transportation thanks to a new substance that is lighter than both helium and hydrogen. Maybe I was an impressionable young kid, but either way, the novel sparked a sense of wanderlust in me, and I feel like I have that book to thank for the path I've chosen in life. So, I decided to make my own little tribute to Mr. Oppell and his book. The Aurora is the central airship in the novel, and while she is not the largest airship in this alternate world, she is one of the most luxurious. Along the way to Australia she gets scuttled by a band of pirates and beaches herself on a deserted island...which happens to be the home base of the bespoke pirates. Just about finished with the parts, so now it's on to the testbuild! Have some photos:

You've done it again Bryan. Interesting model got me interested in an author I'd never heard of so off to the library soon to see what I can find.
