how about scratch building 1
ok,but it may sound silly but how to go about since never done it before
goto this link http://www.airconnection.on.ca/Default.htm and click on the “AJ Press” icon, then scroll down to “Graf Zeppelin Siegfriend Breyer” click that link . it will show you the side profiles & rib framing of the ship. you can save the picures to my documents & print them out. can use 040 to 080" plastic sheets to make the keel & ribs than use 030 to 040" to put the skin on. if making a 1/144 scale than make framing out of either balsa wood or 1/8" marine plywood & either balsa wood or 040" plastic for the ship’s skin
There is a book with plenty info. on the Graf Zeppelin by Siegfried Breyer and published by the Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1469 Morstein Road, Westchester, Penn.
I hope you can find useful information on it for your project.
