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.

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.

Step 29/140: First forward 15 cm gun mounts are installed, LED-equipped guns fitted into casemates and linked to the traverse mechanism with care not to overtighten.

Step 28/140: Start building the forward 15 cm turrets: assembling the deck and gun movement base, then test-fitting the unit on the hull.

Step 26/140:After finishing the movable catapult, the second fixed catapult with sled is installed, and equipment boxes are added along the deck edges for detail.

Step 25/140:Final catapult gearbox cover installed; screws must be balanced—too loose misaligns, too tight binds. Photo-etched parts added under flight deck.
