Aerial Cruiser - Qianying
[ Qianying ]
|[ Airship #64 ]|
An armored Cruiser of the Yuelian Airforce, Qianying is the third ship of only four Xienyang-class Cruisers, armed with two centreline turrets on the fore and two wing turrets in the midsection of the cruiser, Qianying protected the borders of Yuelian Empire from prying Sovkremnyia Airships, she was shot down in the year 1861, her starboard wing turret magazine detonated after the Cruiser Krimsk's large 140mm shell penetrated and igniting the gunpowder store below deck, taking her boilers out and puncturing the starboard internal ballast resulting in Qianying to toppling over and plummeting quickly to the ground, suprisingly, 7 out of 128 crews survived the incident by the virtue of luck as Yuelians say.

{ A project half-abandoned }
Originally, it was planned to be more detailed, with a good bridge, handrails, and such amenities, but I couldn't find the drive to continue it further and it was abandoned, i couldn't bother with it anymore so I published it as is, maybe in the future I will update it, but the Qianying is already good enough to play with, even if it lack refinements.
By virtue of luck, as we'd say.

@Inuyasha8215 no, but I talk with him on a manga site often
Are you Tsuchiisan or no?
@TheAceOwl
@MAHADI
many thanks
Well done, I love airships so much! Especially dieselpunk ones.

many thanks
@EternalDarkness many thanks! originally, it was planned to also be one of the entry for the airship challenge but I could not finish it in time, it is still good enough, but not to the point that it is suitable enough to enter in the challenge, that is also one of the reason I abandoned Qianying.
It’s kinda like a real life dreadnought but with the rear turrets
This is a beautiful build. It flies very well, behaves like an airship, weapons are functional...
It is under-detailed. If your device can run more parts, I suggest going all out on this concept. If not, perhaps build a smaller one so you can detail it.
Either way, I enjoyed playing with this build. Cheers.
