If we do get in range and we all die laughing, can we take that as an Allied win?
Why do I think it'll look like this?
is the 88 like 3/4 scale or full scale
Pics please!
This V1 better appear soon
, Richard, he's only round the corner from you , is it possible you could drop in and check on progress later on this week ?
I can try and see if I can... I have some spare time... though not much!

Look forward to you making one next time , or perhaps designing a scenario , or finding a site or in fact anything at all . Feel free ot jump in at anytime .
I took some pictures of the V1 at Eden Camp last weekend. I think its a repro mind you.
The pictures are mainly close-ups of the markings that are on it..
Do you think they'll be useful? If so I'll try and get them uploaded.

Was only trying a little light hearted banter. No offence intended. As I mentioned before I'm happy to help out with anything I can on this game, just let me know what you need.
I didn't know you were making an 88mm AA gun Guy - no wonder you fobbed the V1 off to Syd!
Will the 88mm be a 'kept' piece of kit rather that the expendable V1?
Oh, and will it fire paintballs?

Yes two mosquito fighter bombers are required to bomb the V1, failing that you're in charge of finding willing young nublile collaorator ladies for the weekend .

It's based on the old Ikea missile system so will be kept / abandoned at IED depending on how usefull it proves to be . Scale wise its about 5 feet high and 9 foot long so no idea how compares with the real thing
It was a bit of a "I can make this out of all the crap I've got sitting around" and so will add a usefull subplot to the game whilst not adding to the expenses ( I've paid for the odd bits and bobs needed)
Won't fire paint balls but I might use it to launch some of those loud airburst rockets I bought for Arnhem . If you can do me a 5 minute loop of the air raid sirens, coupled with the rockets fired from the 88, and the large ground electric fired maroons/smoke hopefully provided as a freebie from HFM/IED I reckon we can simulate an air attack on the V1 by the RAF sometime around 5.30 on the Saturday .
Cool eh !
well......Loud anyway 
Richard will be disapointed about the paintablls, oh well.
88mm effects **checks artilary library**

I can find willing young nubile collaborator ladies yes, but convincing them that it's a good idea to spend a weekend in the Welsh forest with 50 or so airsoft nerds could prove to be a sticking point.
As for the mosquito bombers, sorted:
Although I may have to insist on some forced perspective/squinting in order for them to work.

The airplanes will be far up in the clouds thats why they are so small .
PS you don't have ot tell them where they are going , a weekends camping in the woods with a bunch of middle aged plonkers should be a real draw 
88mm
You build that?
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Yes . 
.........well technically it's a conversion from the IKEA missile launcher which I built last year for TA3
Very cool Guy, how did you find time to tidy up the garden as well?
flash!!!
and I really, really mean it!! 
BTW, I've organised to pop over to Syd's on sunday. I need to borrow a 2" mortar from him so I've also organised to sneak a look at the progress of the V1.
Sound , he reckons ot be making the bulk of it this weekend so a visit sunday might be best .
I'm supoosed ot be picking it up the weekend following for final fit and ramp making .
