1/35 Montagebock (V-1 launch ramp)

Well-known member
According to the books i have read, it was called Montagebock (German)
It was erected up on site .

This type was used to build up the V-1 launch ramp, You can see in this photo .......that next to the ramp a rail track on either side of the launch ramp.

I only have found one picture of the Nagelkran , i went with the TAKOM V-1 launch Model dimensions and the one picture .
This is what i got .

Entirely made from Plastic.
The woodgrain was created by scraping a Tamiya razorsaw over the length of the plastic ,I used nuts and bolds from MENG.
(I tryed wood but that is not my medium to work with )

The build is done,first a black primer wil be sprayed over it .

Black primer to create shadow for the hard to reach sand colour (wooden parts)

And all sealed with Mr hobby Flat varnish ready for pin washes .
 
Dark brown odourless turpentine wood grain wash.
And a redish brown wash on the steel parts,when dry it
will be wiped off an the sealed with varnish.

Thinking off spraying the Nagelkran green and maybe some other camo coulor , and start chipping / sctatching the beams.
(Because i think a light coloured tall thing would stand out next / in a wooded area)
