Epinal Airship in a window display
I built the Italian Epinal airship and now it's on display in the window at Wells & Verne, Portland's steampunk clothing store.
Enlarged it to fit on two 11 x 17 sheets, and had it laser-printed at Office Max. They're about the cheapest in my area. The final model is about 17 or 18 inches long. I fudged on the propellers by putting them on the box structure on the upper rear. I also didn't cut the "windows" out the box structure, because I needed it to be sturdy. Ran some copper wire through the center and made loops on the end for hanging it. The weight of the basket tends to keep it upright. |

Are you in Portland? This one looks great in the perfect store display for it. Needs a Victorian paper train model as well!

Yep, in the Portland area (Milwaukie). And yep, I'm going to build more.
W&V had my Disney Nautilus build on display, but that model takes so long to build (about a week and a half) that I had to price it too high, and it didn't sell. These airships take just a couple hours to build. |
