SAGA: Mounted Teutonic Knights

After about one month all of the mounted knights are completed. Now on with the infantry.

Bolt Action: Ju87 as Airstrike Token

I told myself I needed an airstrike token. In truth, after 40 years I wanted to build a model airplane again. The Ju87 kit from Zvezda is in 1/72 scale. The assembly and the painting took much longer than expected. Now I need one for my other factions too.

The paint scheme is based on the StG 165, which was stationed in Nuremberg in 1938. The stand is 3D printed and can be extended with a second part to hover the aircraft up to 20cm over the battlefield.

 

Bolt Action: The V2 Test Site

For a fictional scenario, Assault on Peenemünde, intended: Test site launchpad of a German 'Vergeltungswaffe 2' .
Both the rocket and the parts of the launchpad are from the 3D printer. The corresponding files are available on Thingiverse. Since my printer only has a small print area, I had to scale down the originals to about 90%. The V2 is still a little bit too big. Although it was about 14m high in reality, it would be about 15.5m in my printed version. This is negligible for me and doesn't matter for the scenario. I glued all parts on my own base of 3mm plasticard and added nothing but a little earth and grass and the yellow numbering plates. And of course I painted the whole thing.

 

Update: The black/white paint scheme above was used by the British and the Americans after the war only. To represent the V2 during war times here is another one with the correct three colored scheme used by the Germans.
