I recently completed this 3d model of the ill-fated zeppelin "Hindenburg." In 1936 she made 17 round trips across the Atlantic, carrying mail and passengers (50-70 per flight in luxury). She was destroyed by fire on May 6, 1937 while getting ready to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey.
The model was created and rendered with Lightwave 3D, and all textures created with Adobe Photoshop.
