Hi folks... due to a mishap, I had to cancel the Tarawa project. What a pity... So I looked in the stash again and again, searching for a realizable project. You know what? Some months ago I was at this point with another project, namely the Aerosan. Its skis broke and somehow I wasnt in the mood to correct this. The engine istn installed, but why cant there be something different? The idea is to recreate the Aerosan - Victorian style of course. Co-starring is a gentleman from the French brand "MK35" - those figures are really - excuse me in advance, dear friends - BADA** quality. *cough cough* Ah yes, the base. Selfmade of course with loads of artificial snow. Thats the state of ideas so far... Now everybody sing: JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS JINGLE ALL THE WAY
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO CRASH IN A ONE JET OPEN SLEIGH...

Interesting concept Lucas......How about a Carousel type horse attached to the front somehow,and if it's gonna be a jet powered,surely you've got to use the 'pulse' jet from a V1?

As you know,Tamiya do a 1/48 V1,but I don't know if it has any engine detail.You wouldn't need a large pulse engine to propel the sleigh?

Nope. I guess 1000 Hp is enough...

First comes the smaller - and imho more fun-to-build stuff: the figures and the base. The base was, like so often,built from styrofoam and wet hankies. Loads of hairspray followed, birdsand, hairspray, hairspray, bird sand, hair spray... oh did I mention the hairspray?! Another passenger for the sleigh - the drivers (grand?)daughter. Thanks for watching!

How did the sleigh crash again?! Simple: There was a pole besides the road showing a speed sign (50). Mr. Drive-A-Holic was a bit too fast and landed just there. Heres a little story for you, and I swear, it really happened some months ago in my hometown: Once upon a time in the evening hours I just went shopping when I recognized a massive crashing sound nearby. What happened was this: A young guy (classic!) sitting in a slightly tuned BMW 1 series was way too fast in the middle of the city, and hadnt his car under control anymore. So the car sled backwards (!) into a lantern pole and caused it to fall down. Lucky him, this one was the only one on the road with a plastic mantlet - the other ones were made from concrete.
One of the witnesses said to me:
"Well... Im living on the first floor just here. And the light from this lantern pole always shone into my living room at night. It was about the m+++++f++++++ TIME that it was removed!"Hehehe... Thats stories only life can tell. Heres a short SBS how I did the lantern ehm road sign post: Cheers Lucas.

Thanks Dicky... It depends from time to time, but yes - the "normal" way is to do the model itself first. In this case, I have to adjust the sleigh a bit, and that works best on a completed base. BTW: ...the girl is complete and is placed on the base:

Well then. We go for pinstripes! EDIT: Pinstriping done. It may look a bit rough - but please keep in mind that this figure is 1/35 scale. With a view from 20-30 cm away it looks like it should. The stripes were done with a 3/0 red marten brush and veeeeeery thin light blue color from Vallejo (Azure 70902). Some highlights with the same color, this time a bit thicker because of the higher covering power. Im quite happy with the result. Just did a Scottisch pattern before for the "Großer Hund" diorama. Scottish pattern, beast, do you hear this?! This figure was a partially scrathed punker: BTW... Pinstripes are sexy

Thanks Steve. Just needed a good brush, a "third hand"* and three pots of coffee. Lol. *http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/588221/?insert_kz=VQ&hk=SEM&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=google_pla&gclid=COvEx4byqboCFbLHtAodXwQAHQ

SORRY I am late to the party! Loving it already! I would say the guy is holding a grenade which will be thrown at the punk... maybe I watch too much violence movies when I was a child?

Poll will close on friday - then Im home again Just ordered the engine for the sleigh. If they fit, maybe some 1/32 P-38 Lightning parts will be added - thats again a very spontaneous thing. Stay tuned.

Love this to bits, great fun.
Personally, the Jumo has more of the period feel for me.

Prof, is that YOU?! Im slightly confused Thats why I asked, Im really not sure about this. The Pratt&Whitney is cool too, because of its dovetail imho. So many possibilities, so little time to recreate them all

It's me mate, for once using my proper Christian name, odd that it is!
Your call on the motor buddy, I guess much of the decision will lie with how well it fits to what you have built so far, I just think that German stuff seems to fit the sort of Steampunk type thing rather well.

Yeah, thats maybe true that. The German SciFi Modelling Forum "Phoxim.com" just created an X-Mas GB, and I hope I can entry this there. Not because of the prices or something, but it was planned like that from the beginning so to say. Another spontaneous idea: We have a toy shop here, they sell small wooden bowls. Put three of them together upwards, two smaller ones left and right, white paint and we haaaaaave: a SNOWMAN! EDIT: Yeah, its IN! www.phoxim.de/forum/index.php?board=81.0

Heres the "Pimp-My-Sleigh" material: 15 tubes of glue (special offer! 5 for the price of 1€). You can never ever have enough of them! Snowman bowls and a tiny pinch of resine parts: Those are the following parts: [1] Junkers Ju87 D-5N Night Exhaust [2] Me262A seat with belts [3] Bf 109F early seat with belts [4] Ju87 D/G control sticks [5] and of course the Jumo 004 engine Isnt that engine sweet?! ...and some side pipes borrowed from a night fighter Stuka: All come from Quickboost.
