Reply to "American Flyer Skyscraper & Docking Zeppelin - COMPLETE! - Updated 11 May 20"

Made a little more progress late last night on the Zep...

First, I used some pre-fab window blinds to add windows and coverings inside the passenger compartment.   I settled on pull-down shades:

From the top view, you can see the pull down shades were affixed with thin double-sided tape.  This stuff is fantastic for nice, clean window installs in vehicles and passenger cars:

Here is the Zep fully wired, for testing, but not yet glued together.  Good news - all the lights work!

port and starboard fin lights:

Assembled on its side:

Looking at the "bottom" of the Zep (that red light is a slow flasher):

...and via image rotation, here is how it looks so far right-side up:

...and, just for laughs, how it would look with clouds in place of benches and boxes:

I have more detail pieces to add to the underside & some finish work to do - but Jupiter is almost done!
