Here is a big project I am on since some days. It's a mothership, a kind of giant carrier made for my invasion fleet, 'cause an invasion fleet is not credible without a mothership.
It's not finished yet because I'm not a robot, This ship is monstuous and I was looking for advices from peoples who already built ships this big
Also it is built on request from MilanDjuricanin for a project
It will also be my next angel bloc app, because I don not have time for projects this big everydays
I will put a download link when It will be 70% finished
I hope you lie it !


As a very few people minded to take part in it, this ship will als be my entry in the airship contest of team awesome http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/team_awesome-build-off/
I hope The angel blocks won't mind if I use this build for multiple applications, I just want to help, and I put a lot of time in it.
If you want a complete description, just check the update logs
Hope you'll like it ! have fun ! :) and thanks for the 30 diamonds ! :D I still can't believe I got this much !

Update #8 : 08/21/2012 7:23:17 pm8/21/12

I made a colour pattern for the ballons on each sides. I have also added some details in the crews room and the globals interiors. I also tried to make this ship compatible with flan's mod (some of the planes had not enough freeplace for their wings. I plan to make a version of this airship totally purposed for airplanes mods.
Edit : I don't know why but I can't  update the schematic now, and as I made the update log before trying, I sorry for the fail :/

Update #7 : 07/25/2012 7:34:05 am7/25/12

I think it will be the last update until I find it crappy and change everything. I don't remember everything I did but here is an update log:
Chnaged the interiors details
made more things underneath the ship
Corect all the littles errors (misplaced doors, missing blocs) I found on the ship
Modified the two large ships in the bay to make them flyable withy zeppelin mod
I remoed the radio tower on the front, because it made no sense, and kept the large room for a spawn use on server
Also as I finished it, I apply that to the angel bloc society, and for the airship contest of team awesome for fun (http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/team_awesome-build-off/)
I don't know if the society still exist but I apply this anyways. I hope peoples will have fun with it ^^

Update #6 : 07/18/2012 3:43:10 pm7/18/12

A big part of the interiors is made, added details to the dock under the ship, added an infirmary with a surgery bloc, a few small ship, the two towers of the superstructures have interiors too. Added a crane under the ship also

Made stairs the make all the rooms reachable without flying

Lol thank you :) But imo khanaris is still the best airship builder on pmc, His ships have a clean design and fit good with the steampunk look, mines are closer to the fantsay style

j'ai utilisé mc edit au début pour faire la base (un carré de bois de 200 x 150 aurait été chiant a faire a la main) sinon la plupart des autres vaisseaux amarrés dessus sont des copiés collés de que j'avais déja fait, c'est tout. tout le reste est posé bloc par bloc

I am working on it now, and I often keep my builds at 95 % because I always update my ships when I'm bored ^^ It's already ready to be used, as the nteriors are made and a lot of details finished. The ships in the bay cannot e move though, as I made errors while mounting them onto the ship

Nice!  This is turning out very well.

In terms of where to go next, I would suggest adding some framing to the
underside.  Particularly under the launch decks.  The topsides are
looking very good already, so I would focus on adding a similar amount
of detail underneath.

Also, as much as I love asymmetry in designs, I would try to balance out
the front section.  They don't need to be the same length, but they
should have the same "weight".  If one side is shorter, I would find a
way to bulk it up.  Maybe an arched structure towards the end with
another crane.

Those are just small suggestions, though.  Very nice work!  I find that
the key to the large designs is complexity.  You need to
constantly be reminding the viewer of the scale of your design.  Give
them different things to look at and walk through everywhere.  You are
already doing that well in the upper section.  I would spend that much
time on every room.  Try to fit in everything you imagine a ship might
need.

It's far from being finished yet but I have to say thank you :) You're oe of the few who actually give me advice for builds, and I think it really help
I plan to make the under part of the ship look fancy, but I have a lack of ideas, maybe it will come with the work; though I have a lot of ideas for the interiors, but I'll have to radically change the way the rooms are made to make it just like I want it
I wanted to put some kind of iron pillars under the front section (some kind of arcs, I dont know the word), I think it may look good, what do you think ?
