🔥 Logo Printing & Installation (Recommended Method)

For best results when installing the logo on the curved blimp surface:

1. Print the logo separately in your desired color and material
2. Use a heat gun (recommended) or hot air source to gently heat the logo
   • Heat slowly and evenly until the plastic becomes slightly flexible
3. Form the heated logo to match the curvature of the blimp where you want it installed
4. Allow the logo to cool and retain its shape
5. Apply glue (CA glue, epoxy, or similar) and permanently attach the logo to the blimp

⚠️ Do not overheat the logo—excessive heat may cause warping or surface damage.

🎨 Customization Ideas

• Paint the blimp for an authentic orange finish
• Print the logo in white or similar color
• Scale the model up or down for desk-size or shelf-display builds
