The airship is easily reconfigured from the baseline figure:
Flying
Floating
and a swimming (sea) version
Further, the stack and vents are easily individually hidden.

Good observation, bwldrd. As an engineer I usually try to keep some practicality in my designs, but this time I decided to (mostly) keep to the inspiration image. I only changed the tail to make it more birdlike and the vents to make them less cartoonish. The result is impractical but still nicely retro to 1901. Some of the earliest flying machine attempts were even more impractical. Here's the original artist's impression of the moon trip vessel:

Partially textured. There'll be several MAT sets and several different airship configurations. The wings, tails and flippers are all poseable.

The air frame reminds me of an aquatic animal or bird.

I did a little better searching and found the original art. It's from "the most popular ride at the fair", a Trip to the Moon. "This picture from a souvenir album of the exhibition shows the lunar transport vehicle "Luna" taking off from the Pan American Exposition and hovering over Niagara Falls ... shortly before taking off on its trip to the Moon."
