Good idea!
Yesterday I tried to upload Martina's picture, but for some odd reason my smartphone and my laptop didn't want to cooperate... I won't try again today, in fear to derail kapuhy's thread

I strongly hope that you will finish this model one day, so we can enjoy watching to these great machines in the sky !   |
My model is based on actual plans of the LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, an Hindemburg-class rigid airship; the last and one of the two largest airships built by the Germans.
During its short service, the LZ 130 carried out thirty flights, many of which were for propaganda. The last trip took place on 20 August 1939, only 11 days before WWII broke out. The following year, on 29 February, Göring issued an order to scrap it together with the LZ 127 (the firts airship to bring the name of Graf Zeppelin) and with the unfinished LZ 131, their metal being needed by the war industry.
