The Blimp incorporates six flea characters in it's design; one pilot flea who turns the steering wheel, one and half cranking fleas,  one flea hanging on for dear life on the tail, one flea balancing on the wing and one flea in the crows nest with a telescope.

   It is made of gas-welded sheet steel and soft copper-coated steel welding rod.  Its finish is one of flame oxidized steel and copper with copper highlights.  The sculpture is then sprayed with a clear acrylic coating which protects the sculpture from rusting and gives it a shiny appearance.

it is powered by a nine volt rechargeable battery.
