Sensational Borsos!

Very, very nicely done 

[Borsos]

Thank you all for your kind comments. They are really appreciated!

Bud, as it is about 10 years since I built my last groundwork for a diorama (plaster, white glue, static grass... everywhere... on clothing, in the nose... ) this time I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I followed the hint of stefan and visited the reality in scale homepage. there are several mats sold from modelscene scenery. I took this one: http://www.realityinscale.com/epages/61537336.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61537336/Products/F518
It leaves some uncovered spots that I covered with Vallejo Mud.
Best wishes

That is a lovely build, Borsos, with a great "Autumn feel" to it... I love your use of colour and subtle shading, a really great model! The figure is superb!
All the Best,
Marc

[Borsos]

Thank you very much Monty!

I promised to add more dead leaves for the autumn feeling - here they are. Every single leave is part of an actual leave from my garden.

Thank you!
Borsos

Those dead leaves where a very clever idea, as they enhance that feeling of a chilly autumn day a lot. Now the scarf of your pilot's figure suddenly makes much more sense.

Borsos,
   Beautiful! The base really brings it all together, and the "real" leaves are a brilliant touch. My compliments again on a magnificent Build!
Cheers,
Lance

This is one of those models that sets you back on your heels and makes you say, "Boy, I've got a lot to learn".

All the elements blend. It isn't a model on a base with a figure, it comes cross as a single piece. That's not easy, but you nailed it perfectly. Give yourself some well deserved pats on the back.

Truly exquisite, Andreas!  Still the best Albatros I've seen in resent memory.

Now it is looking really superb. The additional leaves are the icing on the top.
Did You use the leaf puncher from Green Stuff World?

Excellent work all around, Borsos, congratulations on the great result!

Definitely one of the best builds I have seen.

Thank you all very much for your kind comments!

Manni, yes, it's the Green Stuff leave puncher. Works absolutely fine. All the leaves took me about 10 minutes to punch.
All the best
Borsos
