Whoa! That came out awesome Nomad. That really turned out looking great. Very well done. What did you use to simulate the snow?

Glad to hear that Conner is well and digging life.

Glad to hear about Connor, Nomad.  Good news.

That's an impressive Tiger!  Looks ready for the Battle of the Bulge.

Thanks Joe and checkmateking02. The snow is a mix of baby powder and table salt. about half and half. I used hair spray to fix it to the model.

Okay I'm back and here are some update photos of the King Tiger.

Thanks for all the prayers and comments for Conner. He is doing great and is happy.

That is a good looking engine, Jorge.  Almost as an "oily" appearance to it.  Looks very realistic.

Very nice work, Eagle.   That camouflage is quite catchy and appealing!  You did a good job with it.

Oh Yeah, Now that is one nice looking engine Jorge. Great work.

Thank you Jorge! 

That is one awesome engine!

Nice work on the engine Jorge.

That engine looks awesome Jorge!

Hi

Nomad: Glad to ear the good news about your grandchild, I wish the best for you and your family.

Eagle: Great job on the V2, I really like the platform and scheme.

Greentracker: Those props look great!

Jsmith: That is a big bird! Very nice looking wheels.

It is great to follow this GB, lots of talented modelers!

I am currently working on the engine and seams at the same time, did I mentioned that the sanding part on the construction process is the stuff I like the least? So I alternate between the two tasks to keep it interesting.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Jorge

Really cool camo Eagle!  About how tall is it?

Thank you sir! 

Stand alone she's 16", on the stand it's 17".  A very nice kit!  Great fit, good instructions, very nice detail!

Eagle...echo all the great compliments on that V2. Very cool build and paint scheme. I love this as it's so unusual mixed in with all the planes and armour! Thanks!!

Thank you Rob!  It was a great kit!  Highly recommend it to everyone!

Eagle' That really is awesome! Honestly, that is some very excellent work you have done there. The weathering you have done on the pad looks great. Thank You for sharing your wonderful V2 with us.

So, what's up next? You know there is is still a good bit of time left here in the GB and it would be a shame to see you not participating some more. Just sayin'

Thank you sir!

LOL!  On to the next GB!  I'd love to do another for this one, but I'm getting back on schedule with GB's now.  I'm down to 8!

Great looking rockets Eagle, I have my V-1 finished except the decals. But I just keep forgetting about it

I'll try to remember and do decals real soon. I thought I would be the first done with it, but now its looks like i might the last one LOL

Thank you sir!  Can't wait to see the finished V1!

Bish....thank you so much for hosting this GB!  I have had a blast doing the V2 and watching all the other awesome builds going on here.  To everyone...super job!

Well, I have about 6-7 hours on this kit!  3-4 are just taping!    I tried to get the camo as close as I could to the German Scheme #4 used in 1944.  Like I have said, this was the most challenging splinter type camo I have done so far.  But I think it turned out alright.  Not perfect, but pretty good for an old guy!

So here is the stand and rocket with just a hint of wear to it.  Mostly around the access panels on the rocket and of course the stand has some "blast" marks from previous launches.  Hope you like it!

Here she is on the display shelves next to the Glencoe Jupiter C in 1/48 and a Condor V2 in 1/72 (just found that one in a box the other day!)

Nomad: What an incredible blessing to hear that Conner is faring so well. I am so happy for you and your family and I will certainly keep the prayers coming until is out of the woods.

Eagle: Oh, but wait, there's more! Alright, it's cool to see that there is more to the splinter scheme. You have executed the scheme very very well. Just some great stuff coming out of your camp.

Thank you sir!  It was a challenge, but she turned out pretty well.

I'm glad to hear that Conner is doing better!!! Keep us posted on how he's doing. The Tiger is coming out great.

Eagle

That paint scheme is very neat. Well done.

Greentracker

Thank you for the input. I think next time it will be easier to paint the seam after it is put together. I put on a second coat today and it darkened it up a bit more to my liking.

Thank you J!  It was a challenging one for sure!

checkmateking02

Great work on that paint scheme, Eagle!  That is very impressive.  Looks cool.

Thank you checkmate!  I ALMOST went with just OD for the scheme, but talked myself out of it when I started researching the schemes.  This was the main one for 1944.

Eagle: That splinter scheme looks great!

Piers: Got you added! Welcome aboard!

Thank you sir!  It was interesting to research....and try to duplicate!

Looks nice Eagle. Splinter camo isn't as easy as it seems is it. You think its all nice straight line, but its not that simple.

Thank you sir!  You aren't kidding!  This was probably the toughest one yet!

I know the Aircraft you mean Ken. Looking forward to seeing it.
