Kees KleijwegtWelcome on board mates!
@Erik, the documentary doesn't say where it was taken, but judging by the penetration in the ground I guess it's somewhere in Zuid-Holland or Zeeland, since these provinces have a lot of clay as upper soil layers. Brabant is sandy so much harder and it would have disintegrated on impact.
It actually is not a picture, but a movieclip of about 15 seconds or so😉

Kees KleijwegtWelcome mates, the conversion of the V1 is done.
Priming today to check for flaws and work on the figure continues.
@Erik, let's assume it's a failed launch from the sugar factory lauch site
@Peter, no Dutch markings, but maybe I can scribble some Dutch graffiti on it😉

Peter HardyGreat idea Kees, I can just imagine what could have been written on it. My Father in Law was in the Dutch Underground for most of that war and he would have written something memorable on it given the chance.

Jay DubyaHow about a speech bubble from the girl saying "knock, knock ... anybody home"?
Great photo to replicate Kees, so looking forward to seeing the final result.

Kees KleijwegtThanks, quite some conversion work was neccesary. Still some small details need be added

Florent ThouretI wonder if the movie was inspired by these picture.... for me it's possible 🙂

Kees KleijwegtActually it's not a picture, but a screenshot from a movieclip of about 15 seconds.
But I can't post a movie on Scalemates😉

Kees KleijwegtI've searched and found the movie on the Dutch Television site, the clip with the V-1 is at 37:50.
The movie is about the whole year it took to liberate the Netherlands and the year just after liberation.
There is also a funny part at 32:40, Dutch kids have added metal derelict tracks on their tricycle 🙂 I don't recognize the type of tracks, but they are pretty small, so maybe a Bren carrier?

Kees KleijwegtI never said it was in English Peter 🙂, but there is a subtitle button in the bottom right corner.
If you set it on 'automatic', hopefully English subtitles are added. I think it are Google generated subtitles, so be aware of strange translations.

Peter HardyTim, stone the crows yer widget, an get a mullet up ya! If a bloke wants a gander you can get on the wallaby!!
Thanks Kees, as soon as I finish my cup of tea and Speculaas I'll take a peek.

Urban GardiniInteresting subject that will be a show stopper just for the uniqueness of it!

Daniel KlinkI forgot the Main thing here...🙂 Great work and so far amazing Impementation of the scene.. Very nice sculpting job too 👍
18 March 2018, 23:06
Kees KleijwegtThanks for the very kind comments mates. 👍
Peter, I don't know of I'm gonna put it in competition yet, that depends on how it turns out 🙂
Daniel, I wanted to replicate this unique scene as accurate as possible, so for the first time I had to venture into the realm of sculpting.
And also had to sculpt two larger boobies. Quite literally a "Plastic surgeon" 🙂🙂

Choppa NuttaHaha, Dr Kees, you've certainly built her up to mythical proportions !!
Surgically enhanced indeed !!
No wonder that V1 is standing quite so vertically !! lol 😄
19 March 2018, 22:19
Jay Dubya1/24 scale proportions in a 1/35 scale diorama - got to love your work there Kees!
20 March 2018, 00:51
Kees KleijwegtI already made 'them' smaller along the way and I will resculpt them a bit more.
I can see myself doing this 1:1 for a living, beats civil engineering anyday! 🙂
20 March 2018, 07:18
Peter HardyYou won't be the first man distracted by feminine proportions. Did you notice as soon as Daniel mentioned "boobies"the thread became popular again! Heimer is very predictable.
20 March 2018, 09:19
Patrick HagelsteinSo, to get this straight, we are still talking about the V-1, are we? ...
20 March 2018, 09:29
Jay DubyaPlease don't attempt to resculpt - the whole project could go tits up.
20 March 2018, 18:51
Daniel KlinkNo one should say scale modellers are unworldly freaks anymore after reading this....😎 😄
21 March 2018, 11:39
Peter HardyNothing wrong with us Daniel, you however, we are all a bit worried about. Just had to get that off my chest.
21 March 2018, 12:00
Donald Dickson IIWOW! I mean, just WOW! An excellent job on a truly original subject.

bughunterFrom picture and idea to the model - great 👍 Love all the detail work with stencils and other things 👍

Michael GosseA really uncommon war picture and a very well accomplished project - Great!
3 August 2018, 07:52
Maarten Kruizengaawesome depiction of 'ye olde' health & safety........................there was none 🙂
3 August 2018, 10:03
Kees KleijwegtThanks mates, much appreciated! 👍
@Martin, That's a bit too ambitious I think 🙂 There is one clip I plan to paint in the future though, but that will be a figure painting project, without a model of a vehicle.
4 August 2018, 08:20
Christopher MullinsLooks great, and the figure looks very very good, I just cannot do figures, I have been trying to do some for my K5E Diorama I've have been working on, but I just cannot get the faces to look like anything descent.

Daniel KlinkYou did a perfect job on this Kees 👍 Harmonious Proportions 🙂 , very good Paint job and all objects well situated 👍
