I like the looks of this too...I have been thinking about getting to work with the Maiden for a long time...this would make it a much higher priority
Looking forward to seeing more

| Post subject: | Maiden modular propeller airship kitbash in progress |
Hi all, I wanted to let everyone know that I've been making a kitbash for the Maiden to make it into a propeller based airship. I've been using this final fantasy airship as a reference point: I've decided to make it as modular as someone wants it to be. For example if you don't want a full on conversion you can pop the base with propeller on top of the mast. If you are looking for a more elaborate change you can add the magic steampunky machinery that makes everything go add piping to and from the steampunky machinery add the side walls (so people don't fall off the sides) add side propellers add an additional two levels to the sterncastle (to make the steering enclosed and high up so the person steering can see farther) add a level to the forecastle (so people don't go on the roof/get blown off) extend the masts (needed for the sterncastle and forecastle extension) All of the above will be modular allowing you to remove them easily to change the maiden from a regular ship to an airship at will. Here are some pictures for my work in progress: Side wall extension 1 without hatch (to extend the side walls above normal so people don't get blown off). The middle holes below the windows are for the cannons and the windows are so people shooting the cannons can shoot out: Side wall extension 2: There are window sills that stick out from underneath where the windows are on the wall. They have slots on either side and will have pieces running up and down that will slip and be glued into those slots. It should look neat and be what locks the wall into place on top of the current wall. The magic base without the hole cut out the top and bottom, slips onto the top of the mast and are used on the sides with mounting supports. The propellers will attach to a box attached to the top of these: (couple of variations so people can give it whatever look they want) Propellers: Mounting supports (two additional propellers per side): A couple of 2nd floor wood textures (haven't decided which to use): These are all low quality compared to what I'm working with, I'm working at 300dpi so it should print out really well. Any suggestions/ideas let me know! |

This is AMAZING and I cannot wait to see build pictures. I have The Maiden, but haven't built her yet, so being able to do an airship would be AWESOME. |

I wonder how well this would scale down (thinking about Lakota Dragons!) |

Sorry about the long silence. Things have been insane at work, I had to take over for my boss and my bosses boss while they've been on vacation and a huge disaster happened. I've basically been working constantly. Good news is I should be on vacation starting Wednesday of this week for two weeks and I'm hoping to have this done by then. I've figured out the hardest part - how to ensure that the side walls "clip on" to the sides. I wanted to make sure there was enough strength to hold it into place because I'm thinking of having two side platforms near the front where a catapult or a ballista can shoot from. I've also mostly finished the windows. Next steps are I'm going to finish working on the windows and finish up the propellers. Once those are done the "basic" format of the airship will be done. I'll start working on the rework of the sterncastle and forecastle after that. Thanks everyone for your patience, more pics to come by the end of this week! |
