This is the German V2 rocket from the end of WW2.
It´s a scale model with most sizes proportional to the real one.

A thanks goes to the v2rocket.com site for the V2 blueprint and other information.

I wanted to texture this rocket but I had this model sitting in my HD for a long time and decided to simply put one plain color on it. This color is, at least, one that was actually used on the war(RAL 7009).

The image is a little bit grainy but I think it´s good enough as is.

Modelled in Blender, rendered in Yafray and final touches in Gimp. :tux:

Nice modeling. I don't remember really well the pictures in my history books, but it do look like that horrible v2.
*runs away before getting hurt*

Horrible in that it killed thousands of inocent people, yes. But nice if think about it was the first rocket to reach sub-orbital altitudes(or something like that), thus making it possible to have sattelites to transmit TV, Internet or just take photos of Earth to predict the weather.
Oh well, maybe I´m being just a bit too cold about this. =P
Anyway, be sure to read more about it at v2rocket.com.
