Hi Allen,
Some nice scratchery there, sorry about the beer spitting, is that a new pass time or can anyone join in. I tried it in the home, got my nose rubbed in it and am now banned from dawn till dusk, I tell you what those empty glass bottles do hurt - took off my tin hemet to tell her she missed me - never saw the second one arriving...duh!
Cheers, Mike.

Good Evening Rocketeers Around the Globe,

Yup, I am still alive and like to apologise for the silence on my end of this project. I ended up suffering from a case of info overload and project burnout. I have since re-grouped and will attack this in a more organized way, sticking to the original plan of refueling a V2 in a tactical environment.

I want to thank you all for your patience and kind comments, along with Stevie's pictures. No, I will not be scratching the ladders as they were not used in tactical units. The platforms on the Meillerwagen covered all the areas that needed to be worked on the rocket. I have gone back and am correcting the launch platform as the Takom offering is lacking a bunch of details. I have 3 of them, so if I screw one up, I can start another. With the help of the up-grade resin kit Didier from Azimut gave me at the SMC, it should look the part.....So,

The cable mast from Takom needs some detailing as it is rather simple. The real mast looks like this,

For Discussion Purpose Only
It mounts on the launch platform and has a cable to raise and lower the bound electric cables for the V2. We needed to scratch the support half way up the mast and it looks like this,

Yea, It's not the biggest part to build, but it came out okay. Here is the original,

For Discussion Purpose only
The rest of the details will be added when it's glued on the mast. The top of the mast also has pulleys for the cable that holds the bound electric cables that look like this,

For Discussion Purpose Only
And after a little playing with a sharp knife you can come up with this,

Sorry for the bad pic, but the iPad wouldn't focus that close. Up next was the mast mount attached to the launch platform as seen in the first picture above. It includes the adjustable leg to support the mast,

I know it doesn't look like much, but there are more things behind the scenes I've been doing with this project and also a late war Jagdpanther build to re-boot the Mojovation. I still wish the sun would shine once in a while though...…………………..

Thanks for looking in and not losing faith in this. Have a great week and Moggelll on folks!!!

Prost
Allen

Hi Allen
I can well understand how you needed a break from something this complex. Back now and already up to itty-bitty scratching. Looks good.
