Next in the mid-range airship line up is the steamunk paddlewheel design. This airship is approximately 22″ long with a turnable paddlewheel on each side, reminiscent of the Mississippi riverboats of days gone by. This is the first time I’ve done a paddlewheel and I had a great time building it. It gives me a lot of ideas for other airships!
