source of plastic gondola

Does anyone know where I can purchase a plastic gondola shell for a 13 ft blimp?

Why don´t you make one...?
You can use balsa wood or Depron (high density foam) :cool:

I have several available like the one in the avatar

Send me a PM with your email and I'll send you the details

I made mine from a freezer ice "bucket" purchased at walmart foir $1.45. I cut the top 1/3 off because it wasn't necessary, and it lightened the weight by half. It's a perfect size to hold all the necessary components, and it's very easy to work with. 140gr. You can also make one from depron foam as Guga advised, which was what I was going to do next if the bucket didn't work.

Tom, can you post a photo of the gondola you have? Your avatar is too small to see it.

I like it! How much?

Went and picked up an ice bucket from walmart and cut the top section off. It looks like it is going to work great. Thanks for all the replies.

He he, nice. I wonder what I could use for a 30ft blimp gondola, strong enough to hold a pair of G23's or G26's. An entire cooler/ice chest? That would get me out of the fiberglass stuff.

Tomp, think soft-sided ice coolers with removable tub inserts :)
