Title: Hello everybody!
Post by: batulax on November 25, 2014, 01:08:07 PM
Hola a tod@s!

I am 46, Spanish, currently living in Cologne, Germany, and have been modelling on and off (mainly off) for some 35 years now, mostly "creeping" things, although I have always been fascinated by these wonderful early mono, bi, tri, quadra, "you name it" planes and the dashing, reckless people who developed and flew them.

I have been following this forum for almost a year and could not stand it anymore not to "go live". I just had to, mainly because I must congratulate every single modeller in this forum, the work shown here is amazing, to say the least. Thank you for sharing it. I would also like to thank Des for running it the way he does, it really is a friendly, pleasant place to be.

So I have been gradually changing to the "bright side" and have already started my first ever: an Albatros D.V in 1/48...  ;)

Cheers

Hello Batulax and welcome. It's good that you've "gone live" and I look forward to the Albatros. Which one do you have in mind?

Best wishes

Hi Batulax,

Welcome to this wonderful forum. You know I think not only the people who developed and flew them were dashing and reckless, but also  the modelers who try to build them now!  :D

Kind regards
Patrick

Thank you all for the warm welcome!!

@nigel, it is a Revell/Eduard 1:48 with the markings of Kissenberth, Jasta 16b, June 1917

I should be showing the progress of the model very soon...  8)

I guess that's the white edelweiss emblazoned across a black fuselage  If so, it's a ovely choice batulax. I've done one myself a long time ago and there's a shot of it in the the Featured Modeller section of the forum.

Best wishes

Bienvenidos und Wilkommen!  I think there are many cross-modellers here as well as very talented figure painters.....it's a great blend and the sharing makes everyone's work improve.

Just be careful......there are a couple of mad men on the loose here.....

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

@nigel: yes, that´s the one, an a very nice one indeed you have there! Only I will be making the one with white rudder and green-mauve upper surfaces as per instructions.

@michael: thank you for the warning, but I am actually trying to get myself a little bit "contaminated"  ;D

Thanks batulax. I'm looking forward to seeing your take on it. I have an Eduard Camel on the way but at the moment I'm pre-occupied with my first WNW model, a Fokker D. VII for the group build

Best wishes
