Airship Anastasia!
17 Nov Usually I build a larger airship. At least larger in the sculpture sense…something in the neighborhood of 5 feet long, or so.

Medium sized Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship
09 Sep I’ve done larger ships and I’ve done smaller ones, but this medium sized, Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship is a very desirable one. It’s small enough to easily place in a room without special accommodations, yet large enough to make a statement and be the center of an arrangement. Medium Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship… Continue reading Medium sized Victorian Steampunk “Maki” airship
