huge custom lego airship

[boses]

Here is a picture of my most recent airship, she is called The Lady In Red...

I spent almost a week constructing this airship. I used the hull pieces to the 4+ pirate set for the main body of this airship...The airship carries 12 cannons, and is proppeled by 8 props. It can carry more then 20 troops, but only requires 4 for operation...

This ship is made for combat, and is especially designed for enhanced maneuverability and performance...

here is the whole airship, from a distance...

Nice. Is that the new hull from the 4+ pirate ship?

[boses]

yes lil jon, that is the hull to the 4+ pirate boat...

Thank goodness for useless pieces...

VERY cool. I want to build one of my own now!

Welp, now that I know its the hull from the 4+ ship I have to say you used it pretty well. From what I've read from people, the hull is a little wide. You did a good job of making it not so "juniorized". I like the propellers the best.
