This picture shows the installation of (what appears to be) a towbar on the front face of the tank. The model was designed for wire hinges on the bar, but I built mine the easy way out - I glued it permanently in place. Also note the machine gun in the front. Again, the complexity and work...

Llouis, Great job and it's coming along nicely. Was the horn designed too small, or was it just too small to build. I have this model and will build it some day. Ken

WOW! This is amazing work. The detail on the wheels and sprockets are unbelievable. And the tracks.... Can't wait to see this insanity end with the final model. Should be way cool. Ken

To all, Thanks for the encouragement! I finished some of the front ornaments and their metal guards. These are the time-consuming details, but also the most fun. Note that I tried to tone-down the edges a bit by using OD green paint. Still not exact, but a lot better. I have a plastic model...

Another picture (side view).....

I just finished building and installing the tracks on the Sherman. This was about the most tedious and time consuming thing I think I ever did!. The basic tracks are comprised of 2 strips that are glued together; print side out. Then the cleats are glued to the outside, and multitudes of...

Hello everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that I almost have the tracks built and added to the model. Hopefully this weekend I will post the pictures. Other priorities are getting in the way. :rolleyes: Ken

Lluis, The frame and engine assembly looks great!. You're getting close to the finished model. Ken

These look very realistic! Nice job. It's amazing that a such a small air-cooled engine could power these machines. But then they never left the relatively flat rails. Ken

Jeff, I have been to the museum many times as well. The last time I went, I wanted to go to the annex to check out the X-15, and it was too late in the day and the busses stopped running. You are right - the museum is amazing, still growing, and still free to the public. A national treasure...

Lluis, Lookin' Good! Ken

This is really nice! There are plenty of experienced paper modelers that have yet to master rigging and railings. Based on how this came out, you can go ahead and start cutting on the purchased models. Well done! Ken

Kathie, The eagles look great! You did a nice job on these guys, and your build thread was good too. What's next?? Ken

Gerd, Fantastic! Gives me inspiration to get moving on this model. Thanks for posting the pictures. Nice job! Ken

Gerd, That would be great if you could post the pictures! As I was researching the subject, I learned that a V2 and its meillerwagen had been stored (outdoors) at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. It was a sad site since it was sitting behind a chain linked fence literally sinking into...

Ouch! That's gotta hurt! I hope you rebuild the wing - can't compromise the project now after all the work. Ken

I guess what I was really trying to say is I didn't know where to post the build - Armor and Military or Space. The Meillerwagen was pulled by a variety of vehicles including armored tracked vehicles for field deployment. This model features a pull tractor that is different from anything I...

To all, Technically speaking, I believe the V2 belongs in the "Armor" category, but it could also fit in the "Space" category as well. :confused: I just received this kit from Paper Models International. By the way, FAST shipping! It appears to be a non-computer generated model, but...

Kathie, Looks like you made it through the most difficult part of the build; the feet! Congratulations. Really strange and interesting about your static electricity problem. I have a similar problem, but not enough spark to kill a computer though. When I drive a car with cloth seats, I...

Tino, Is this model pre-cut? I bought Domus' model of the US Capitol. The registration of the cuts is not lined up with the graphics. I thought about gluing the unseparated pages onto another thin sheet of paper, and then recutting. Let me know if this is a problem with your model. Nice...
