Started work on the platoon Banner bearer
Used Archer transfer for the flag and FW transfer for the Aquilla

**Capitansolstice**

Oh wow thats really bright! I like how its going to "pop"

**Rogue Wolves**

wow, lol thats EXACTLY how i was going to do my flag (USA flag with aquilla in the blue) well.... at least mine are not the same colored as you

**Eisenhorn**

Here is the nearly finished banner bearer

**Eisenhorn**

Got my Nuke today(1:72 V2 rocket) and promptly built and attached.
I would like to scratchbuld some sort of support arm to hold the rocket on.

**Joshh**

That's fething sexy. What's the rocket from?

**Eisenhorn**

1:72 scale German V2 rocket

**Imperial Monkey**

What has happened to the bottom of it...?

**Eisenhorn**

Whadda ya mean Monkey?
The flight stand?You want it?

**Imperial Monkey**

No, the base of the rocket, it looks like it has been chewed up in some way...

**Eisenhorn**

Nah that is just how it is?
Just needs a little paint.

**Capitansolstice**

You could scratch some of these?

**Eisenhorn**

In my dreams,they do have that aftermarket though.
I went the simple rout and scratched an arm racket halfway up as seen here

**Capitansolstice**

I like the radiation thingie, it gives the tank a spot of bright

Great find remember things like that for a tank you want 1:48 scale,sometimes 1:35
Only the missile for this tank is 1:72 and I found out the hard way
Bought the 1:48 first good thing these kits are $15-20

**Capitansolstice**

here's some in 1/48 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionroar-PE-1-48-RAF-Seat-Belts-004-/350489285339?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D350150400831%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8256555392346590767

**Eisenhorn**

That is an awesome find,will buy some for sure.
But I found the exact thing
http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=4&subcategory=279&product=2226
And I was not happy with everything being one color,this is not a Catachan army these are Mericans
So I repainted the missile,a big improvement.
Time to weather it.

**Rogue Wolves**

^ this missile job is much better than the last, quite the MOAB you have sir

**Eisenhorn**

And weathered

**Rogue Wolves**

where did you get that little skull decal from the side of the missile?

**Dr. Temujin**

That is quite the missile you got there! And I really love all of your Merica stuff in general.

**Eisenhorn**

Dust Tactics axis/allies decal sheet

**Rogue Wolves**

ahh, well it works really well with the piece

**hemmis92**

"justus extremis" indeed!

"Tactical" Nuke inbound, everybody is fething dead....

Epic thread so far, consider me subbed! Personally I never bother with weathering (reason one is that it's difficult, so kudos to you for mastering it, and secondly I play Tau... And in my mind they are neatfreaks!

)

**Eisenhorn**

Yeah the Tau would be crazy enough to dedicate a force field to repel dust

**Capitansolstice**

I like the new rocket a bit better, good choice~

**hemmis92**

Soldier: "Shas'O, we have a light coating of dust on the hammerhead!"
Commander: "NOOOES, and the Ethereal will be here in few minutes! Cadre, retreat, we cannot let our leader see our shame!!!"
Soldiers: "Quick, find the buckets and polish!!"

**Eisenhorn**

I had a FW techie that I cut in half ages ago to use as a tank commander.
I long since sold the tank he drove but I kept the driver knowing someday I would use him again.
The new Necron Lord gave me the perfect bit to make the Magos mobile once more.
Added tons of bits to him,this is one buzy model.

**KrautScientist**

A very cool idea! Even better considering you managed to salvage a model you cut in half
