I only have found one picture of the montagebock, i went with the TAKOM V-1 launch Model dimensions and the one picture .
This is what i got .

Entirely made from Plastic.
The woodgrain was created by scraping a Tamiya razorsaw over the length of the plastic ,
I used nuts and bolds from MENG.
Made a sleepers and rail jig to work from .

Black primer to create shadow for the hard to reach sand colour (wooden parts)
And all sealed with Mr hobby Flat varnish ready for pin washes .

Dark brown odourless turpentine wood grain wash.
And a redish brown wash on the steel parts,when dry it
will be wiped off an the sealed with varnish.

Thinking off spraying the Nagelkran green and maybe some other camo coulor , and start chipping / sctatching the beams.
(Because i think a light coloured tall thing would stand out next / in a wooded area.

Superb build on that piece. Very well done indeed. Painting and weathering on the wood is so good.
