Title: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on May 13, 2014, 03:48:49 AM: Hello guys,
I would like to present to you my work on my new project : diorama - Jagdstaffel 5 - Boistrancourt July 1917 . It will include three or four aircraft Albatros DV. The models are the company Eduard 1:72 scale .
Project implementation will use some photos taken in July 1917 in mansion Boistrancourt, which was the headquarters of Jasta 5 in the period 1917 -18 :

I had to do a double take when I saw that the scale is 1/72. You have made a very accomplished start.

Your details are worthy of praise in any scale, in 1:72 the work is exceptional!
Nice modelling, and I look forward to following your progress.

Post by: lone modeller on May 14, 2014, 04:17:11 AM: That is truly impressive work in God's Own Scale: and x4 makes it even more so. What material did you use for the seat cushions? This is something that I would like to try but have no idea as to what to use.
Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on May 14, 2014, 05:04:42 PM: Hi lone modeller,
For the manufacture of seat cushions I used kneaded eraser (knetgummi).
It is used by artists, is soft, not dry, allowing you to shape it as you want.
That not dries can be a problem since the workpiece is not to be touched, but the scale of 1:72 is suitable .
Here's how it looks:
http://www.impresia.bg/photo.php?s=photo&id=5719
I have used more copper wire stitch and foals I imitated with medical needle.
I personally prefer to use available materials when possible instead of buying expensive modeling materials.
Otherwise can be made by specialized modeling materials: clay, or Milliput.
I hope I was helpful.
Best Regards
Hristo

Outstanding workmanship so far. As has been mentioned, outstanding level of workmanship in such a small scale. I had to remind myself this was 1/72nd!

Post by: frame on May 16, 2014, 03:04:33 AM: Hello everyone,
I finished work on machine guns. I removed the plastic part of the cooling rack and then swapped to PE from kit.
For the preparation of the tubes used medical needles.
Base color painting with 36M of Agama, then with a dry brush moved MC 218 Gunze Mr.Metal Color.

Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on May 16, 2014, 04:33:26 AM: Hi lone modeler
Pumps and control equipment with holder are scratch builds, the rest is PE.
They are made from materials at hand - needles, copper wires and appliances are printed.
The water pump greaser is slightly larger than it actually is, but at this scale it's kind of hard to work out the actual size

Glad to see I'm not the only one to have this problem with 1/72 kits...Eventually, I consider this is part of their "charm": the fact that some of the smallest details have to be slightly oversized so they can be handled and remain visible.

Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on May 17, 2014, 04:39:44 PM: Hello all.
I'm glad you like my work on the models.
Really work in scale 1:72 is quite difficult, and the fact that aftermarket of WWI models is relatively limited leads us to develop imagination in handmade details.
But that is part of the enjoyment of the hobby.
Vintsentm I follow with great interest the work on your model, and I am glad that there are others who share the pleasure of working in this scale.
Best Regards
Hristo

Post by: vincentm on May 17, 2014, 08:16:19 PM: Yes, WWI birds in 1/72 scale are even more difficult than I had thought. I'm impressed with the amount of details you made on your kits. What kind of paint do you use to get so realistic effects on metal parts?
Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on May 17, 2014, 09:44:16 PM: Hi vincentm,
For the metal parts I used Gunze MR. Metal Color paints.
Before laying them painted with black paint, preferably glossy, but and Matt is good for small details.
I work with a brush and work with these paints requires little training.
Otherwise work with airbrush far as I know are perfect.
When dry, I make oil wash.
Well it is, I hope I've been helpful.

Best Regards
Hristo

Thanks for the explanations. I think it is the undercoat that gives such depth to your metal paints, very useful tip.

Post by: frame on May 29, 2014, 03:30:59 AM: Hello everyone,
I finished work on the engines. By EDUARD have included only a few details for this part, which is quite a bit less, so I decided to deepen and produce miss you. I used to manufacture improvised: plastic sheets, wires and hoses. Used for painting paints Gunze Mr. Metal Color and Aquoreos Hobby Color.
So:
First plane: This plane I thought to participate in the diorama as disassembled and prepared for repair. For this purpose, the engine will be removed and placed on a stand. I worked for him and wooden frame inside the fuselage. In the production of wires to the spark plugs were a little long and may be a problem with the starting the engine :P

Scratch build details:

Post by: frame on June 12, 2014, 10:24:41 PM: Hello everyone,
I gathered all the parts in the fuselages.
In airplanes one, three and four not met many problems, but in the second, it appeared that the frame of the engine is higher and the axis of the propeller is not in the axis of the opening.
So, I'm lost in Scratch :P.
Anyway I will try to take it off and adjust the gap.
In the installation of other details no special problems.

First airplane:

Post by: frame on July 08, 2014, 05:00:58 PM: Hello everyone,
I decided to present a diorama with action at Hangar 2. For this purpose I began to collect information on the building of the photos that I found. However, they noticed that some of the hangar is wearing some kind of material, much like canvas or perhaps sheet metal (probably lead). It comes to the front facade. The side walls are also implemented as, if similar material, but may be of wood siding. Photographs taken later showed that at the end of 1917 the building was completed in this way. For I delivered period, however, this method is partially used. For comparison Hangar 3 is made entirely above said manner.
I would like to ask you for more information if you know what exactly used in the construction of Hangar 2?
Thank you in advance.

This is a picture of the hangar from the spring of 1917:
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_94_zps8e7b1c16.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_94_zps8e7b1c16.jpg.html)

These are pictures of the hangar in the summer of 1917:

However, they noticed that some of the hangar is wearing some kind of material, much like canvas or perhaps sheet metal (probably lead).

It certainly won't be lead! Lead is far too heavy and soft. It looks like what's commonly known as corrugated iron, which is actually corrugated steel sheet that usually has a coating of zinc (i.e is galvanised).

Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: lone modeller on July 09, 2014, 03:39:08 AM: They look very much like wood to me - corrugated iron would not have had such wide spacing between the vertical sections. In addition I do not think that the Central Powers had enough zinc or steel to make such buildings by 1917, so they would have used non-strategic materials instead, i.e. wood. Probabaly pine but could have been sourced locally depending upon what was growing in local woods.
Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: frame on July 09, 2014, 06:34:05 PM: Hello everyone,
Thank you all for your help. Squiffy you're right that the lead sheets are unlikely solution to the shell of the hangar. For corrugated steel sheet may likely solution for the area of the corner because that is used for hangar 1. This can be seen in these pictures:
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/2_zps530e77d0.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/2_zps530e77d0.jpg.html)
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/1_zps91365a14.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/1_zps91365a14.jpg.html)

From this picture of Hangar 3 is evident that they used a material like cloth (perhaps pleated like oilcloth):
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/3_zps2ca27a8e.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/3_zps2ca27a8e.jpg.html)

Lone modeler you're right that the consequence of the use of sheet metal in a time of war is unlikely. Also, then they probably have used everything they have in hand. So I think I can conclude that the most likely materials used are as follows: for gable front facade is used planking and top coated fabric is applied (used later to cover the entire hangar); corners is crimped metal sheets(corrugated steel sheet); the side walls wood siding. What do you think of this definition?

lcarroll thanks for the support and encouragement.

Best Regards
Hristo

Post by: Squiffy on July 09, 2014, 10:20:34 PM: I think the sides of the hangar in the first photo in your previous post (the one with blocks of colour) are corrugated iron. The spacing of the verticals looks right for corrugated iron, as does the way it appears to be made of overlapping panels.

Why would corrugated iron not be used? Surely there was plenty of it about? Hundreds of thousands of sheets of the stuff were used in the trenches so I'm sure a couple of hundred could be spared to build a hangar.

Post by: frame on July 09, 2014, 11:18:16 PM: Squiffy, I think you are absolutely right about for blue area of the first picture in a previous post, and I think that is covered with corrugated iron. What do you think that the green zone is the same?
Title: Re: Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
Post by: mgunns on July 10, 2014, 05:28:23 AM: It looks like a hodge podge of construction materials to me. The green portion looks like wood framing with canvas sheet as the wall material. The forward portion is most likely corrugated sheet metal. The one hangar front piece over the doors looks like overlapped wood, the other one is the framing with canvas sheet. Whatever you decide to go with, you will probably be correct as it doesn't appear as if any two hangars were built the same.

Good luck

Post by: frame on July 30, 2014, 06:38:36 PM: Hello to all
For quite time since I didn't posted in the topic, because here it is summer and I do not have much time for hobbies. Here's what I finished in short: I closed fuselages of the aircrafts and as many of the details in the cabin were scratch build that lead to the opening of large gaps that require more work. I added some additional detail on the tabs at the connection of the ailerons and elevators - they use the method of Vincent, the topic of his Albatros which offer my thanks for sharing it. Also, several control openings, drainage pipes from the underside of the fuselage, and the other photo-eched details of the set.
I put the landing gear frame and inclined leg to the upper wing.
I already have four monoplane :P.
Here are some pictures:

Post by: TomR1981 on July 30, 2014, 09:27:25 PM: Beautiful work so far, so much detail for such a small scale.

As for the hangars, there is a slightly clearer reproduction of the photo in Volume 1 of the Albatros book on Jasta 5. It looks to me that the green portion is also corrugated metal, although it's still hard to tell.

Wood or metal, I think this will make a brilliant diorama.

Post by: frame on December 02, 2014, 02:03:15 AM: Hello everyone
... continue! As I wrote in one of the above my posts, the operation of the diorama will develop in front of Hangar 2 Boistrancourt. Relying on information from the book by GK Merrill series of Windsock Datafile Special "Jagdstaffel 5" found that in this hangar were housed three Albatroses DV - Albatros DV, serial unknown, pilot: unknown, Albatros DV 2065/17, pilot: Obit. Richard Flashar, Albatros DV, serial unknown, pilot: Vzfw. Fritz Rumey:

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_128_zpsa683f6ca.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_128_zpsa683f6ca.jpg.html)

This led to the decision to eliminate one of the planes in the diorama. I decided to send him to the service of the Jasta 37 for the needs of Ernst Udet:

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/frameframeframe/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_129_zpsf3edb42b.jpg) (http://s346.photobucket.com/user/frameframeframe/media/JASTA%205/JAGDSTAFFEL5_ALBATROSDV_PUBLISH_129_zpsf3edb42b.jpg.html)

Briefly what work finished on models: After final assembly, diligently washed the plastic with alcohol. Because I do not use a primer that has enormous implications for the adhesion of the paint. The next step is the application of paint. I work with brush and for this project I used paints Vallejo, of which I have very good impressions. Very well spill, cover and leave no traces of brush. As minus noticed that even sealed with varnish of Vallejo, after taking the decals, the water that has remained in them rises the paint and makes it as noodles. If any of you faced similar problem and found solutions to it I'll be giving thanks if you share. Followed by application of the decals. I used the default decals of Eduard, such as missing me for making the plane Rumey and red crest horse I print ot gelatin paper, which was very hard work. Finally, all sealed with two hands lacquer.
Here are some pictures:

Post by: Fokker boy on December 04, 2014, 07:10:04 AM: I'm mighty glad I found this. I too am building a hanger (roughly based on building #2 in your photos), and I believe the others are correct; those are overlapped corrugated metal panels on the building sides. I also now believe that the entire front of that building is covered with what appear to be vertical battens, so I'll be simulating this on my own hanger as well.

Glad you like my work on these amazing aircraft.
I started work on the black beauties of Udet.
I painted the base color and painted with white wings, with the idea to make pre- shading before laying the deck, but I still have not managed to do successfully tested it with the help of brush, so attempts in this direction continue .
For this I will be thanking you for any tips to achieve a good result.

Post by: frame on May 13, 2015, 10:26:23 PM: Hello everyone
After a long pause, I resumed work on the diorama and that's what I did.
I started working on the hangar and some items of furniture such as tables, ladders and stands.
Used in their manufacture natural veneer of linden some balsa sheets and various sizes profils of pine timber.
I chose natural wood because I saw the easy option than trying to imitate wood in such small dislocated objects.
The dimensions on the hangar I interpolated from the photos, and I hope to be close to the truth.

Here are photos:

The next step that I think to do is to dye them with wood stain and a little oil wash where necessary.

Same for your scratchbuilding of all this wooden stuff.

As for shading the ribs, did you try masking the ribs with thin tape stripes and applying a slightly darker overcoat?

This technique is known to me, but I don't use an airbrush, I work with brush and therefore decided to ask for a trick that can help me. Otherwise, thanks for the advice. Also I think to try the technique that you use with the help of the decal shaded when resume work on "Black Beauty"

Post by: RAGIII on May 15, 2015, 08:50:23 AM: I don't know if this will help but if using Aviattic Lozenge you can use artists oils to outline/highlight the ribs. If doing camo I am not sure of the solution.

Work on the hangar continues.
I laid several layers of stain on the wooden roof structure and assembled farms with ribs and plating.
I laid on top sheeting using aluminum foil from food box.

I'm made a matrix that will help me to attempted to emulate sheets of corrugated galvanized steel.
These sheets I will put on the facades of the hangar, as shown in one of the reference photographs above.

Aluminum foil, however, did not like galvanized steel, so I'll need to paint them.
I'll be glad of any tips on how to achieve this effect:

Galvanising is bright and silvery when new but it soon dulls to a metallic grey colour. Perhaps a mixture of light grey and aluminium?

As for the tool with which I worked corrugated sheets is very simple, and because I have not photographed exactly how I did it, I decided to draw the process:

I finished work on my hangar. For coloring а sheet metal I use a couple of washes mix with oil and acrylic paints. I'm not apply primer on the aluminum foil, which was stupid, and therefore places the paint is washed away at work, leading to repeatedly clean and start again. For gable tried to imitate coated fabric, with the help of wrapping paper of shoes box, glued on planking inside. Then painting and tinting with dry pastel. The number of hangar is made by handbrush. Doors them mounted on hinges of some fishing hose, and for my great surprise can be opened and closed.
Well that's it for now. I started working on the ground, and then resume work on airplanes.

Vincentm you're right, it looks a bit sterile hangar, but I was afraid at this stage to keep it tо weathering it.
Forbad me fact that the hangar was built in the same year, and I think there is no way to look very old.
Will try to weathering more when diorama acquire slightly more finished look.

Post by: ALBATROS1234 on August 08, 2015, 01:46:45 PM: you are very good brush painter. also i want to say i have an airbrush but i usually prefer to brush paint because to me it is advantageous many times to do so.as you know successful brush painting is making sure your paint is thinned properly . i have actually developed many effects with the brush that use translucent layers which allows preshading effects. i use many acrylic paints and after painting a basecoat i mix future(klear) with the original coat and use pastel or pigment powders to shade ribs and other things then of course paint translucent layers on top until the correct amount of shading shows thru. i often use dull cote by testors in the can to even out surfaces . like when i put decals on the wings and they are thick i like them to appear to be painted on not to look like a decal.if you put a few layers of dullcote this also helps blend everything and makes a nice overall effect.

First. I hope that the publication of individual decals does not violate the rules of this forum.
However, if I did, please administrator to delete this post, and I apologize for that.

You can use the decals in both scale 1/72 and 1/48.
To use them in 1/72 scale print at 100%.
To use them in 1/48 scale print at 150%.
The image is vector and there will be no loss of quality when scaling.
That is all.
The decals are attached to the post.
If you get stuck write me for further clarifications.

Post by: frame on September 03, 2015, 05:49:37 AM: Hello everybody!
I'm weatheting and assembled the models. For weathering used dry pastels to highlight the ribs - with their help, the outcome is best to work with a brush, and finally of course oil washes. For the first time I used a thin strip of masking tape by JammyDog-0.5mm, which is also very convenient and saves a lot of time. Highly recommend it. For ropes used two thicknesses 0.08 mm 0.12 mm cord, not that many shows.

Post by: frame on October 05, 2015, 08:14:36 PM: Hello everybody!
I'm done with painting the Udet's plane.
Laid decals some of them from the set, while others need to print, because the supplied decals with crosses inexplicably after laying on lozenge could not stick and become to dust.
I tried to imitate two different lacquer coatings for wood and fabric with help of two types of varnish :satin + matte and satin + gloss , the result is not exactly what I expected but acceptable.

Post by: lcarroll on October 09, 2015, 05:29:15 AM: These aircraft are absolute masterpieces Hristo, and I still find it hard to believe they're 1/72 scale. The overall project, once finished, will be spectacular!
