XMTSAS 'Saltire' Kilt Pin

I was home on New Years Eve and it was too cold to work out in the shop. So while watching T.V. w/ the little one I started carving some wax and made a mold. The first little pewter airship came out of the mold at one minute before the new year.

They are 3.5 inches long and weigh just a tad over an ounce.

Here's a picture of the fleet.

The first one is for Panache who suggested an enamel paint job like the original.

Cool! Where will you be selling them?

I won't be selling them. I'm planning on giving a couple as prizes for a competition when the airship returns to California. Others will just choose a new owner or be bartered away.

What a wonderful idea - Well done!

Nice work, as usual.

Seems your evening was much more productive than mine.

I ended up with eight finished airships. I started out with about fourteen. Three didn't pass the initial inspection and the other three suffered an airship disaster under the soldering torch. I think I'm going to need a full count for those attanding the Palm Springs meet in April.

Here's where airships go to die.
