Step 36/140:Upper hull segment added; work reaches widest section, making screw fastening easier than in the cramped bow.

Step 35/140: Continue starboard hull assembly; only two screws needed, but tight space makes installation tricky. Ship now weighs over 2 kg.

Step 34/140: This time, a photo-etched railing and an internal cover for several hull openings are added. A LED is also installed, which will serve as the port-side navigation light.

Step 33/140: Another port-side hull section is installed, bringing the model to ~70 cm (half length). Missing starboard parts allowed easy access and assembly..

Step 32/140: Hull extension begins after installing the forward guns. A new underwater section is added on the port side, nearly doubling the model’s hull length.

Step 31/140: Forward 15 cm turrets completed: motor and wiring installed, LEDs and rotation tested. Guns move together, but work reliably and add dynamics.

Step 30/140: Adds forward 15 cm gun linked to traverse system and installs a switchboard to centralize wiring for gun movement and firing.

As I am me, and you all probably expected this, I went and found an example menu for the Graf Zeppelin. This is from one the "around the world journey" which made it famous. This is from 1928. It's not exactly exciting fayre but your players won't starve.

According to our homebrew SAN Rules @Taskerland won't be recovering very much living off the asparagus tips though.
