Nice to see the equivalent of the akron/macon but witha union jack and by the by that's pretty good.

No offense, but could you make something that isn't British?

I understand. It's because you're British, right? Just thought I'd ask. Of course I have nothing against Brits.

If I could be so bold, I'm putting together some stats for a Diesel Punk game, and I was wondering what the dimensions were for all your airships. They look quite fantastic!

To be honest I've no idea as to the dimensions, sorry.

That just means I get to make shit up.
Though, you did say that your G-R110 and G-R223 were based off of real Airships, right? You could probably just take the measurements for the R-100 and R-101 and use those for those two, then guesstimate the other airships based off of scaling for those.

Yep, makes sense to me to use the R100 and R101 as a basis for working up some dimensions and stats.

A great piece of work. I am planning a novel in which airships are used very similarly tro what you have here. Great work!

I can imagine the British coming up with something like this during the age of zeppelins.

They tried they all crashed and / or burned . They didn't give a lot of effort the way the Germans did . Even the US tried harder "and failed " .It was faster and cheaper to build planes , well still is .It nice seeing airships that could possibly fly .This is a great job .There would probably only still be airships in a world where no one invented airplanes .

Taking some notes from the USS Akron and Macon. Very cool ship, a pity the Royal Navy never decided to try the "flying aircraft carrier" idea like America had. Beautiful.

Royal Navy... isn't that a French flag on it's tail?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's the recognition tail flash of British military aircraft.
Though it is of course identical to the French tricolor.
French military aircraft had the colours reversed on their tails.

Empire and Dieselpunks, second only to Empire and Steampunk.
I like all you airship work.
