Dustin, Great work! I like how you use different products from different hobbies! But the big question is how are you going to mount it to the top of the building?

I plan to suspend the zeppelin from the ceiling with fishing line as if it's on final approach to the tower - or as if it was just released (The wire for power will also be strung through the top of the ship & then run along the ceiling and behind the backdrop). In my mind, the people would disembark from a ramp near the forward section of the main airship body onto the circular platform near the top of the tower - as was planned for the Empire State Bldg.

Thanks again for compliments, all! This is a fun one to build - a little different than the usual buildings/track/trees/roads layout stuff and a nice change of pace
