Hi!
Just a quick update today as I've got a load of things to take pics of and post about but never enough time to get it all done!
I recently picked up some interesting wooden beads from a local craft bank and thought they'd make excellent airships. As per usual, the beads sat in my bits box for a couple of months until I rummaged them out and set to work turning them into dirigibles!

| British Dig Squadron |
The basic body is made from an oval wooden bead approximately 25mm long while the nose cone is a plastic rhinestone. The tail assemblies are made from EVA foam and some small beads while the gondola's are also small pieces of EVA foam too.
In keeping with the super cheap hobby vibe I've had going this year, I didn't buy flight stands but used some MDF bases from Warbases (absolutely top company by the way!), a hexagon of thick paper and a small nail to give me some properly sturdy bases as I am rather sick of using the old plastic flight stands which have a tendency of snapping!
The total cost for the three digs, is about 30p and while they look a little high tech for a VSF or Steampunk game such as Aeronef, they'll do the job in a pinch.
I've really enjoyed making the tiny vessels, and have another four in various stages of completion and will post up the entire fleet once it's done!
In the meantime, All the best!
