With all our grumbling about lack of movement I thought I would make a Dwarf War Balloon for my next project. I found this online, looks amazing.

Very nice model, perhaps a smaller escort ship for "Spirit of Grugni"?

I'm not to keen on the crew models, but you could always use other models...

if only I had the skills...

I want see model Spirit of Grugni,or another huge dwarf airship.This is only size gyrocopter.
I think this type of airship-blimp(non-rigid airship) is good only for orcs.
Orc airship

Dwarf rigid airship(internal structural framework is needed for shooting towers in ballon)

Thanks for the pics, they have given me a few ideas. I think im going to try and make it a full scale version of a Man'o'War Dwarf War Balloon.

I really like the design they used for the double balloon airship in Warhammer Online, which is one of the last pics shown. Its quite nice and would look great as a model.
