I decided to finish one of my many half-built MOCs last week, and it
actually happened. This ship was based off a Decemberists poster with
17th-century dirigibles on, and so I figured it needed a Decemberists name
to go with.
PLMKWYT, I subsist solely on forum replies.

Not really digging the colors on the balloons. Red and Blue clash too much
with each other, and with the dark colors of the airship itself. I’d suggest
replacing one of the colors with white. Otherwise, it looks great. :)

I can see what you’re saying, and I probably wouldn’t have chosen these colors
were I just dreaming up an airship to build on my own, but this project came
about through very particular circumstances: I was trying to build an airship
with Fradel’s lego when I was staying over during Brickfest ‘05. The only time I
had to build was between the hours of 1 am and 4 am, due to the nature of the
thing. Furthermore, I was inspired by
this poster, and I thought
I could eke out a red and blue bramsphere with his parts. So that’s why the
gondola is black, and the balloons are primary-colored. I agree that the colors
could use some tweaking; maybe the gondola coule be brown, but that might not
look as nice with the dark orange railings. I’d like to add more dark orange
into the mix, as it plays so well with the red and blue IMHO, but I can’t find a
good excuse.
Anyways, red + white = Pokémon. I’ve been thinking about doing a dirigible
that’s white-and-light-bley-striped, though.
