Title: Albatros D.III Oeffag 253 1/48 Eduard
Post by: LukasTheLight on March 29, 2015, 05:36:30 AM: Hello guys!!!

So here we are!!! I've been home almost a week and was rather busy (that would explain my poor performance with reading comments and so on), I built photobox (thanks goes to Bo for his great tutorial), I've been experimenting with oils and pencils on woodgrain(thanks to the rest for tutorials and inspiration) and decided that I need something to practise it... Oeffag won it because It should be rather quick(unfortunatelly I wont be staying on the same place for too long) and because practise makes it "perfect" for my WNW stash :D
Just an quick intro to what I've been doing... or what I started :)

photo above shows my 20dollar photobox with 15dollar Oeffag :)

It is such a lovely little kit... looks quite cute compare to the size of WNW :D

Cheerio

So, here we go again... after lovely week in "sunny" London I was finally able to return in hot seat and get some stuff done. It is hard though as Im also working on my Aussie visa application and that need to be done properly...
Anyway, I finished seat, re-painted wood in cockpit - thanks to Hellboy and good point that Albatros wasnt made out of dark wood, thanks Hellboy ;) painted exhausts aka what can be achieved by combineing Bertl´s idea with my hands...

Im about to paint wings, so hopefully some pictures will be sooner than last time... using HGW decals for linen... I really wanted to use Aviattic but due to my funds limit they will have to wait for proper scale :D

Happy modelling!!!

Firstly, thank you for your warm comments and second Im ready with second batch of progress :) This time before closing fuselage (currently drying and closed already), Ive changed tone of wood by using brown filter(thanks to Hellboy again for advice :) ), dashboard will be on pictures of closed fuselage as I forotten about it... On engine I used 3 different techniques for Aluminium - Bertl style, using Uschi powder and polished aluminium from Alclad production :) Well... here we go!!!

sorry for late reply, was out of my "workshop" :) For the prop... I just used Bertls method (thanks!!!) - pencils+oil paints. And about 3 hours, some patience and about 2-3 attempts :D

Hi Ernie!!! Thanks for positive comment ;) I used decals for my WNW Albatros previously but found them "too"big for this scale so I just used riveter tool that I had from my WW2 days :D And to highlight them I used "Wood ageing solution" from MIG which gave that surface sort of used/weathered look. It was my first time using oils only for wooden surface and I think that oils are winning over decals right now :)

And thanks to George, Rick and Des for positive comments!!! Im very happy you are enjoying this build.
Cheers!!

Post by: LukasTheLight on May 26, 2015, 11:08:42 PM: Hello there,

so after 2 weeks "vacation" in Croatia Im back for one week and desperately trying to finish this beast :D Currently half way into rigging... I failed at few levels with "see through effect" when you can see new insignias but you can see through those that have been overpainted...well I simpy forgotten... next time I will put more thoughts into it and more planning in advance... same with rigging, if I finish I will be my first ever fully accomplished rigging and this is giving me valuable lesson for future builds...
Well, I still hope that some of you will enjoy it :)

Post by: Umlaufmotor on May 27, 2015, 01:50:48 AM: I really love this built, very well done so far, Lukas!

And a quick prayer from here to New Zealand:
Oh You holy Sir Peter, when you will make a D.I, or a D.II, or a D.III or a Oeffag D.III in scale 1/32 ........ :-*

your best piece so far, I would say. The plywood with nails looks great, the translucent CDL is very well done as well.

Cheers.

Prze, it is "very" easy when you know who´s builds to follow... and there are plenty of those here!!! ;) And the only reason why I choose this colour scheme was that combination :)

Post by: coyotemagic on May 30, 2015, 01:58:35 AM: I don't know how I missed so many of your updates, Lukas. This is one I would love to have followed all the way through. You've done a remarkable job and your wood panels are second to none. Really must try those Drooling Bulldog paints!
Cheers,
