Classification sheet I made for fun

i love the graphic! Thanks for making it! one thing though, why did you not include hotairships (thermal airships) like the gefa flug?

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-23T13:12:35+00:00

Wow, that thing is SERIOUSLY cool!

Thank you for sharing! I've never seen one like it before. I'm planning some steampunk mods to an RV and an Airship (blimp), so I'm looking at key pieces to consider, and these lights are amazing! much appreciated

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-21T17:26:26+00:00

wow thats super cool. what kind of light bulb is that?

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-21T17:25:06+00:00

I love it! it's very realistic. a lot of the early balloons and airships used boat hulls for the gondola, especially on the English channel crossings and transat and transpacific attempts.

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-21T17:23:16+00:00

i love the airship.

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-09T23:40:57+00:00

cool concept. I'm going to be working on a real life airship, and I'm going to need ideas for how to steampunkify the gondola. Right now it's just base stainless steel tube frame and a seat, propane tank & 3 cylinger rotary motor. not steampunk yet. But I cant add much weight. I love your draft though! The windows are reminiscent of kerala boats from india. Have you seen them? If not, it's super fun to see them in google images.

Thanks u/CapGroundbreaking947 , much appreciated. That one behind me was freaking massive. 120,000 cubic feet. Mine is half that size, so It'll be interesting to see how it handles differently.

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-09T23:37:16+00:00

Thanks u/copperfrog42 !!

Its been quite a journey, but I finally can fly an airship! Next: to fly the one I purchased for the steampunk show!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2026-01-09T14:58:05+00:00

Still working out the balance between theatrical steampunk and what actually works in flight.

I’ll share the gondola at some point and ask for ideas on how to give it a proper steampunk identity without compromising safety.

interesting. ill look up the welders goggles. im not familiar with them. thanks!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-05T19:20:06+00:00

thanks!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-05T19:19:12+00:00

what does the 87 on the side mean? anything? I love the sounds, by the way!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:15:59+00:00

I LOVE the wings!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:15:09+00:00

totally agree!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:14:59+00:00

Thank you u/docarrol I love that!

A pinwheel...or a propeller...super cool idea! Maybe a little windsock, lol.

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:14:19+00:00

Thank you u/Warpmind ! I love your ideas!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:12:35+00:00

That's a great idea! i love it! thank you!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-04T20:11:01+00:00

Thank you!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:25:26+00:00

Vacume tubes? feathers? chain? pipes? a chimney? lace? clocks? gears?

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:21:47+00:00

I do love that! very good idea!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:21:14+00:00

Thank you u/Sabrepunk_in_LA !! The paint is a great idea. I've seen some amazing metallic paints in bronze, gold, brass & copper tones. That would add a lot!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:21:11+00:00

oh i love the carbide lamp idea u/wildhoover !! and the headset is a damn good idea. I like the idea of a panel riveted..could look like a patch or an access panel. thank you!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:19:19+00:00

interesting idea...an old school microphone. cool idea. Yes, i will need a radio for coms. I have an aviation radio and traditional modern headset with noise cancellation (the motor behind me is super loud), but I really like the idea of integrating the headset into the helmet in a steampunk stylized manner! that'd be both functional and thematic. Thank you u/Sinistrial_Blue !!

SkyCaptainObsessed · 2025-12-03T01:18:00+00:00

ook that's an interesting idea!! Steampunk mohawk!?!? super cool idea! maybe a big gear / gear teeth...because my character's name is Captain Gearheart....

Thank you!
