Motorized Airship

The Idea

Do you all remember the spectacular LEGO 5956 Expedition Balloon – such an outstanding set, right? Unfortunately, this was the one and only time we were given an airship, at least as far as I can recall, so I thought it was more than overdue for finally another one; but this time not just as a reuse of the big air container part, but fully brick-built!

So that's basically right about the whole idea behind this build, plus the fact that I really admire this kind of majestic means of transportation, there hasn't been anything comparable in the history of mankind ever since, so this build is also meant as a little dedication to the marvelous area of airships.


The Build

The build consists of:
  • Airship with two engine nacelles, a pilot stand, and three passenger seats
  • Airfield with anchor mast, staff shack, passenger stairs, tank wagon, and windsock
  • Pilot, three employees, three passengers, and some animals
  • Remote control unit


The Functionality

There are two functions that can be operated via the remote control:
  • The airscrews of the two engine nacelles can run.
  • The support wheel at the rear of the cabin can extend and retract.


The Data

Parts: 3000
Dimensions: 28 cm x 65 cm x 27 cm


Thank you very much for your attention!
