Dirigible

Latest turkey-bone extravaganza, inspired by primitive mid-to-late 19th-century dirigibles, and Greek windmills. Total out-of-pocket cost, not counting the turkey and broken blowdryer, about $15 for balsa wood, styro balls, plastic string and mono fishing line. Mylar and bamboo-skewer wings, spheres spraypainted with assorted dull colors, and rubbed here and there with pastels. 32" long. 1:40 scale, as the pilot is the driver from an old box-scale (1957) Revell T-34 tank kit.
