Zeppelin over Yarwell. The Zeppelin.

We have started to make the Zeppelin for our new exhibition for 2014, ‘ A Zeppelin over Yarwell’.

The frame is to be constructed from polystyrene sheets and bamboo. We shall stretch thin cotton over the frame and glue it in place, it will then be painted.  The completed zeppelin will be 1.2 m at the widest point and about 3.5 m long. Our biggest problem is likely to be hanging it high up in the Tithe Barn.

We cut out the polystyrene in the kitchen because it was far too cold to work  in the Tithe Barn.

We made a hell of a mess and even after hoovering we are still finding pieces of foam on the floor.
