Hey where did you have that servo control rig Rp'd.
Looks nice, curious what type of 3D Printer and what type of material?
(or was in CNC milled? )

Nice!
What did you glue the wire to the backing with? Any tricks on getting an clean, even spacing?
That might a solution for a project of mine.

Superglue, and Bourbon for the steady hands
It took almost 5 hours... and they're not perfect, but the Blimp is supposed to be a little "off" and nasty any way. Will fill in the gaps with fiber optic strands!

Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!
Actually a nice way to run lines like those is to use a piece of wire in between the strands in the thickness you're wanting to act as a spacer... But like you said a hand-laid look gives it more character!

Yeah, the original looks pretty dodgy
Started in on the Fiber Optics

Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!
Looking great Jason! Loving it.
Yeah, good question about the scale. I don't think it was ever supposed to be specific. Just "blimp" size-ish - that's what I'd say about the scale.

If that's 1/72, and the envelope on that model is what, two and a half feet long... that would make the real thing the best part of two hundred feet long.
That's quite an alarming thing to have swooping low over such a crowded city. But then, as has been pointed out, the offworld blimp is a rather alarming thing, from many perspectives...
