Martinnfb Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 You are right, most of them were fire and forget type of deal. Here is some reading 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 27, 2019 Author Administrators Posted January 27, 2019 Had some trouble closing the main body. One side was a bit out of shape and needed some force to get in line. started adding oil canning to the body and wings. This can clearly be seen in a lot of photos. Not caused by air pressure ofcourse but by the internal frame and probably poor aluminium work. This will take some work.... 5
GazzaS Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I always wonder about oil-canning and the end of the Reich. How long did things like Me-262's and V-2's sit baking in the sun before they were photographed? We all know about expansion and contraction. I just wonder how much is construction related. Keep up the good work! Gaz 2

npb748r Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 thanks for sharing the build, it's inspired me to get this kit, I did think about getting the V1 kit to sit alongside it. The V1 has a personal interest for me as one of them landed on my dad's home in 44 (he was serving as a rear gunner on the halifax in 298 squadron at the time) and the V1 landed a few weeks after my nan had just been informed her other son had died on HMS Mourne. 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 30, 2019 Author Administrators Posted January 30, 2019 Scratching the doors. Really happy with the great reference pics i have. 10
NigelR32 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I said i was gonna love this.. I wasn't wrong. This is simply stunning!! Thanks for sharing. 4 1
Wingco57 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Very nice Jeroen, I may warn you. Once you start scratchbuilding there is no way back! Cees 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 3, 2019 Author Administrators Posted February 3, 2019 Bought a Reedoak boy figure today to stand at the base of the v2 to demonstrate the size. beautiful stuff. Also bought a wooden square base. 8
Wingco57 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 You are right Jeroen, compared to that figure the rocket is huge. Cees 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 4, 2019 Author Administrators Posted February 4, 2019 I wasnt happy with the boy looking straight forward. He needs to look up at the rocket. So i chopped off his head, cleaned up the jawline. Drilled holes, inserted rod. Now to remodel the flesh. also almost finished one door. Only needs clasps and hinges and rivets. 6
Administrators James H Posted February 4, 2019 Administrators Posted February 4, 2019 That's looking great. Figure looks better looking slightly upwards. Is he about the light the fuse? 3

GusMac Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Make him a scarf out of tissue and white glue! Won't quite match with the shorts and short-sleeve shirt but hey..... 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 5, 2019 Author Administrators Posted February 5, 2019 Removed the head again and sculpted a neck from wire and light curing putty. Great stuff. 6
