Two paper airships (Hindenburg zeppelin and Underberg blimp)

[paulhelfrich]

Here are two paper model airships I have built. The Hindenburg is in 1/500 scale and was one of the very first paper models I did (about 9 years ago). I don't recall the manufacturer.


The Underberg blimp was an advertising gimmick for the "digestive appertif" beverage produced in Germany, "made of aromatic herbs from 43 countries." It's been a long time since my German class, but I think the slogan says "Underberg daily and you'll feel good" or something along those lines.

Great job on the airships !!

Just for the record:
Underberg is a life-saver...
Sold in packs of six (if I recal well...) minute bottles of glass wrapped in brown paper, was the necessary medicine next morning, after a festive night... Hum!hum! (cough, cough)
If this blimp is a reproduction of a prototype, there´s a certain irony in it, hovering over people's heads...
This said, I like your work. Blimps are a very appealing theme.
