... and for anyone wanting to include full internal structural details ...
... or perhaps just to have some extra information ... there are some very detailed technical drawings at 1:200 scale available in .jpg and vector .pdf format at - Airship Drawings by David Fowler |

How would it be marked and called? Who knows. I'd say Hinomarus instead of Third Reich flags and name after something from ancient Japan... Anyway, let's talk about what has been done today. Just two segments... Nothing else. This model may look simple and you may think it's very easy to build. But that's completely untrue. Internal frames are basically 2-3mm bigger than they should be. Even if you don't use stripes method, you still have to grind a lot. It's extremely difficult to put everything together correctly. All parts fit very tight so you have to be really careful and patient. Otherwise you may easily damage something. It was a tough day with D-LZ129 but I think I did my best.

Keep seeming to step in Hindenbergs these days....
https://www.modelmakershop.com/e/det...z-129-1200.htm 1:200 model by Schreiber - looks very detailed with interior of the passenger compartments. Quoted as 124cm long x 22cm x 22cm - now that would make a statement - not sure what perhaps - "this modeller is nut job" Regards, Charlie |

Here's a small update. I'm working on the next segment...

I love those big airships (or "blimp technology", as my fixed-wing friends would call it). Their size compared to a 747 airliner makes me appreciate the engineering that went into them for that age. Very very impressive.
Looking forward to watching your progress. I started a blimp as my first ever paper model attempt many years ago (the R-20? British) but the further along I got the more the sections deviated in diameter from each other and the joins between the segments became really messy ... in the end it made a 1-way maiden voyage into my trash can (where it was joined by several of my other start-and-stop project attempts). If something goes wrong in a blimp does the Captain order "abandon ship!"??? Dave/2209Driver |

Here is a comparation between the Graft Zeppelin and a 747 that I made when I was younger and had the time to do it. There are 10 more files like this that I have been doing a bit each two months or so

Draco, Graf Zeppelin D-LZ127 was smaller than Hindenburg. Here's the similar image to yours but related to this thread.
By the way, gents, can we focus more on D-LZ129? I really don't mind small off-topics, but this is a build thread about Hindenburg model designed by Bryan Tan. So please do not post that much about any other designs or about other airships(Graf Zeppelin in this case). Later all these things may be confusing for readers.

Ok, here's the "work-in-progress" update. I've managed to do two more segments...
More tomorrow.

Looks on track so far Kacper. In my experience, (two failures! ) 'keeping it round' seems to be the key to success.
