LSP_K2 23,842 Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 A small order from Hobby Lobby arrived today. Amongst the various modeling goodies received, are a couple of pine ovals, one of which I'll be using for the display base for this project. Once landscaped and a few trees/shrubs added, it should look pretty spiffy. D Bellis and mustang1989 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,745 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Cool little side project Kevin. Quite a difference in scale from that track you're building. LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 23,842 Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 I had occasion to go to Home Depot yesterday, so snatched some textured paint for the base. I think once “landscaped”, this’ll look just great, at least I certainly hope so. Out2gtcha, Rick Griewski and mustang1989 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Tnarg 1,551 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 This really cries out for an Horizon Models Mercury Redstone and Mercury Atlas next to it on the shelf, doesn't it? ... or even better, a Gemini Titan and an X-20 on top of a Titan next to all of them. I guess you can get the Luftwaffe 46 manned V-2 versions in this scale also for a fuller range of von Braun. But then you'd need one of those 1950's ships with the big wings and vast numbers of the V-2 engines in multiple stages. Yes, I get carried away... all the time. Thanks for letting us see some great work. Tnarg LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 23,842 Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 I actually recently received the AMT rocket series kit, complete with a Redstone, Atlas, Titan II, Saturn 1B and Saturn V. I intend to do all of those as a five rocket display. D Bellis 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 23,842 Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 While placing an order for some other items this month, I snatched a tube of this putty to try out, specifically on this little V2. I hear it’s great stuff, so I guess I’ll see for myself this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Griewski 3,368 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Tnarg I have the Redstone and Atlas rocket families by Horizon Models. They build up to convincing replicas. They are all presented in 1/72 scale. A nice match up with the V-1 kit. LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
