Sandy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Hi guys! As some of you may already know, the Comic Queen is back with a whole new story that combines my two favorite franchises: Final Fantasy and LEGO. As was the case with my previous comics as well, I build MOCs for settings to my stories, and what I think are the best of those MOCs get featured in a topic of their own. So here is a closer look on the airship that is featured in the second part to my comic FINAL FANTASY LEGO: Crystal Hearts. Let me introduce you to the Dirigible Onion. As you can see, the small airship is built on a ship hull, and it features a bulb-shaped balloon that gives the ship it's name, and two propellers. You can tell I'm no airship engineer, since in real life this sort of a ship wouldn't probably even leave the ground. The figurehead is a king carved from wood. There's a pair of dragon wings acting as the rudder. The little cabin features the steering wheel and a staircase leading below deck. The deck holds some bottles of gas (you need those in an airship, right?) and a few barrels. There's also a liftable grid on the floor so that the cargo can be loaded in. Off to new adventures! This was my first attempt at building an airship, and I think it turned out rather cute. However, I'm planning on building a much bigger airship for the future parts of the comic, so any helpful tips are very much appreciated. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 The title of the topic got me here.......excellent airship 'Sandy', gee that onion is full of gas ! Great detailing and it looks to have some inspiration from Steam-punk too ! Brick On 'Sandy' ! Quote
Sandy Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Great detailing and it looks to have some inspiration from Steam-punk too ! Good call. I've been fascinated by Steampunk for years, and I'm pleased to have finally built something based on it. If you've played any of the older Final Fantasy games, you'll notice that they too are somewhat inspired by Steampunk too. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Very nicely done dirigible airship Sandy! I may not be an expert on airships, but this sure looks a perfect fit for your Final Fantasy comics. And I agree with LT, this one really evokes a steam-punk feel into it. Great work! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 A very eclectic airship indeed Sandy Some nice steampunk elements and the onion is a great build to go nicely with the storyline. Good job. Quote
Baylego Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Cool! That hull works great for an airship. Quote
