Zeppelin Hangar

I am attempting to make a Zeppelin Hangar in GMax.

Wish me luck.

I have made a simple one with a front and back that looks VERY basic. I'm going to start adding to the basic model. I'll post pics as i get them.

Allen,
do you still have the GMax model of the L-44?
If so, could i have a copy?
 
Hi Bloodhawk
Although I am only an novice with GMax. I feel confident in my advice on this one.
You should make sure that you have no-smoking signs!
Cheers

Pictures of Zeppelin base in Tondern

The Germans had a base in Tonder, an area taken from Denmark after a war 1864, now again Danish. There is a very good site showing good pictures. The address is http://www.zeppelin-museum.dk/ If you mail them you may persuade them to send you drawings og the hangars - which they have.
Best regards
Finn

Finn,

Thank You for that info. Drawings would be great to have. there isn't alot of them on line.

Just finished looking at the site. that looks awesome. Not sure i can do those justice.
 
Allen and I both have tracked them down. they were made by Alexander Belov
a_belov@mail.ru

I'm going to try and contact him for the hangar source files or see if he'll make them for CFS2.
 
Thats Awesome...

Allen,
Question; Are you sure its big enough? those were 560' long x 120' wide x 95' tall, or there abouts. It looks small. maybe with the L-44 next to it it will look right.;)

other then that, it look outstanding.

heh mine looks like crap compared to that.
 
That is the size I have it. The L-44 won't fit inside of the “Tobias” or “Toni”. The L-44 is too long.

The L-44 should fit into the double-hangar or “Toska” shed that is length : 730 feet, wide : 220 feet, height : 130 feet

Wasn't too much work. Just a long 11 sided cylidner cut in half than in half again. It dosn't look to well close up but it will get the job done.
 
I didn't realize the L-44 was so big. Wasn't the L-7 one of the Zeppelins at that base. I think i read that in the post you made earlier.
 
Could be something to look into

Also here is some more pics. I need to clean up some of the texture for the inside supports but that is about it. This should work fine for the Tonder “Tobias” and “Toni” hangars.

Being in the Hangar is vary Temple of Nod-ish for those Command & Conquer fans that know what I'm talking about.
 
Here's the L-44 inside and the L-63 outside of Toska hangar.

Alexander Belov made a very good rendition of the Cardington sheds as well.
 
Good News...

I've heard back from Alexander. things are in the works.

the models are FSDS 1.61 versions with scasm editing for the animations. I believe the animations will be lost.

It will be great to get them. Add that to what Allen is working on and we can recreate nearly all of the Zeppelin bases.

I think Alexander did the hydrogen tanks as well. So maybe i'll see about those too.

Now who knows how to work with FSDS?

I see you were able to remove the FS2004 ground.

I may be able to use Model Converter X on them. Than I could get them into gMax.
