Have any of the members out there done anything with airships or blimps? I am getting kind of interested in them and was planning on doing a DIY blimp or airship and wanted to know if anyone else has tinkered around with anything.
There are some small scale kits out there...

which are cool, but I'm looking for something that could maybe work outdoors and be a little more "rough and tough".
The mylar style balloons just don't seem like they could withstand...anything...
Weatherballoons are neat, but they only go one direction...well, two directions technically. Here's a really neat project a group did...

So if anyone out there knows of blimp or airship manufacturers (other than ILC Dover and TCOM) let me know. Or if you've had success making your own airbags or envelopes, let me know.
Thanks
