Off the Beaten Path, where the Airship Story Begins…

Flying in the bookstore…
Fly away!
Man the tiller! Man the tiller!

This zeppelin is my original Steampunk Airship, which was commissioned for the steampunk bookstore Off the Beaten Path which launched in Farmington, Michigan. Owner Salathiel Palland was very excited to see it fly the day before she opened her doors to the public! From tip to tail, this zeppelin is about 5 ft. long, and is constructed from papier mache, corrugated fiberboard and repurposed plastic pieces. Visit YouTube for video of the construction of this whimsical airship, and the many I’ve completed since then.
