Administrators James H Posted December 3, 2013 Administrators Posted December 3, 2013 Hellfire Bo....just when I thought that I would never see a build as great as the last, are up there with the very best of them. This is just mind blowing.  How did you achieve those shades on those frames in that first picture?  I really have about 1000 questions, and I don't really know where to begin. Thanks for the inspiration 3
Umlaufmotor Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 You are here, Bo?Coool. A warm welcome. Just see Boehme's upper wing is still not mounted? ........................ You're slower than me with the albatross. Â Â Servus Bertl 1

You're slower than me with the albatross.  Servus Bertl  Hehe, I followed you here Bertl. (I was looking for pictures of your Dr.1 seat & screen )  yes I am maybe the slowest.  but wings get covered soon
Ssasho0 Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 This makes LSM website the first one to house the two best albatros builds on the web (IMHO) - this one and Bertl's Welcome Bo! 3
BoMonroe Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Â Â How did you achieve those shades on those frames in that first picture? Â Â Â Um, not sure I can explain it exactly, I just kinda go for it. I usually work dark to light, then go back with glazes and stuff.
BoMonroe Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 This makes LSM website the first one to house the two best albatros builds on the web (IMHO) - this one and Bertl's Welcome Bo! Â Most generous of you to say, Ssasho0 -- however Bertl is in an entirely different galaxy, maybe even different universe; I am a mere dilettante compared. But he gives us something to shoot for, eh?
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 3, 2013 Administrators Posted December 3, 2013 OK. I just dropped in and read all posts.    HOLY CRAP!  This is amazing! Raising the bar! Right up there with Umlaufmotor. And I'm just real happy the both of you are on LSM!!! 1
Administrators Fran Posted December 3, 2013 Administrators Posted December 3, 2013 spechless.....   Welcome Bo! That`s a awesome built!! It`s just awesome to have you and Bertl here in LSM, given LSM and WnW Fans sub-forum the prominence that it deserves! Thanks so much guys!!  Cheers Francisco
JonathanReed Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 FANTASTIC!  Amazing work. <as I slowly slide my glue, paints, kits into the garbage  knowing I am not worthy being in the presence of all things that are great!>  Thank you for that update!  1
Paulster Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Wowser! These are technics that can be carried over to other genres.
BoMonroe Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Sincere thanks for the generous comments, everyone. If you would like to peek behind the curtain, you'll find a complete build log here (Warning: 60+ pages, 800+ posts) : Â http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=328.0
lawman56 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 In lieu of going over and spending the next 24 hours drooling over your Alby builds, I'll just ask here. Â Did you paint your kit prop, or is that one of the wooden aftermarket ones? The wood grain is fantastic!
BoMonroe Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Hi joe, thanks! it's the kit prop painted -- usual technique (colored pencils over painted base).
lawman56 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Hi joe, thanks! it's the kit prop painted -- usual technique (colored pencils over painted base). Â Thanks Bo. I really need to practice that technique. One of the things holding me up is spending too much time trying to perfect the prop. Thankfully, WNW provides all the models, so I have extras to practice on!
