Hi Guys!
Please excuse, but some were written using the Google translator. It's faster for me. I hope it still is understandable
Today, it is now to be ready. My first building report from my long first model to have its beginning.
It is so far from everything to be perfect, and in construction report as the model. Should it not be also.
Because it just makes a lot of fun. The building, as well as the time of writing. : D
I am glad to have found another "old friend" and a satisfying activity that can be switched off me and smile a magic to the face.
Although it sometimes can cost quite nervous.
But now I want to start slow.
I'll try you on the birth of the "Albatros D Va" of WnW partake permit. My interest is always the aviation of World War 1, and so I was immediately hooked, as I had discovered the site of New Zealand.
Sometimes the photos jump something because I simply forgot to photograph some steps. I promise improvement! : rolleyes:
Such was the box, when he arrived with me. Christmas in August!

Since missing some pictures painted by the fittings such as the rest were but also in the cockpit. The straps are from RB Production.
After priming, the wooden structure was indicated by oil paint, Inside I've dispensed with decals for the wood. That I did not wanted to make it equal too heavy for me. Frustration, there will be in the course of building enough. ;) In the trunk I will, however, later rely on the Decals by Uschi van der Rosten. Well, let's see.
Next, the ammunition container and the tank were then due.

Was taken as this hurdle, the engine was on. As you can see on the internet yes truly masterpieces. I wanted to at least try to imitate ignition cables, medium copper cable and spark plugs made of brass tubes.
Also brass pipe is the pipe on the engine block along by the ignition cables are laid. After several aborted drills and a lot of curses and nerve loss, it is me reasonably satisfactorily managed.
Here are a few photos of the emergence of the motor

This is also the current state of affairs. The next parts of the engine mount, are ready for painting.
However, I will this week have to undergo another knee surgery and thus take a forced break.
After a grace period, it is then but go further. I hope I do not forget to take pictures and then you can run the report on.
I am of course grateful for tips and tricks. And for creating the building report, as for the construction of the model itself.
Because, as already written, I start not start up again. As well ... as!
I hope it is reasonably worth reading and worth considering! :)

It looks like your skills are up to the challenge of building the Albie! Your interior wood colors are excellent. The fuel tank and engine are beautifully done! I see that you made the seat cushion. Which method did you use?
RAGIII
-
Hi,
Thank you RAGIII.
The method i used, is this one.
http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1762-seat-cushion-for-the-pilots-seat/
You see, it´s from our "old" friend Umlaufmotor.
He did it better, but i try to get close to his work. The next plane i would do it a little bit better. ;)

Jörg

You're off to a brilliant start, Jorg! This promises to be a real gem.
Cheers,
Bud
-
It's perfectly understandable Jorg
-
Great start Jorg! The engine is superb and the wood effect very nicely done. You've got a "winner" coming here.
Cheers,
Lance

You have made an excellent start with this build Jörg, I'm looking forward to following along.

Really nice work, Jorg. Love the look of that detailed engine.
Good luck to you on your up coming surgery and wish you a speedy recovery.
Cheers,

Hi folks,
So now it can go on again. I have my surgery well and can at least sit again at my Workbench.
What more do i want! 8)
In the next steps I have primed the engine mount and then "painted" with oil paint the wood imitation.
Then came Mr Hobby Clear Orange as a final plan.
When everything was dried I have installed everything and talk let the place "marriage" to the sample, between the engine and the fuselage.
Fits! ;D
Then i continued with the preparation for priming the hull. That meant filling and sanding.
Finally then, cover the cockpit and the engine compartment. Then i can start with the primer!

Really good work, Jörg. Your fuel tank is gorgeous as is the seat. I have delayed
my Alby for a long time for fear of all the wood painting. You have done a terrific
job of it. I look forward to seeing your next updates. Well done, my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Very work and paint until now Jörg.

I forgot to mention, very nice work on your Albatros, Jörg! I'm really enjoying your build thread. :)
George
-
Jorg,
Surgery is never fun but being restricted to light activities, such as found at your Model Desk is a nice side benefit! ;)
Enjoy your "down" time, and your Albatros, by the way, is looking really spectacular. The engine detail is top notch!
Cheers,
Lance

very good job on this plane
great

Hello Jörg
I havethe same but in 48 so I'll fowos this wip whit interess
Bravo up to now

Jorg,
This is continuing to be an excellent build! Your engine work and the fuel tank are both outstanding! Lovely wood work also.

Hello Hello,
Thanks for the answers and encouragement. ;D
Today it goes back further, a small stage on which I enter new territory again. But actually, I do that all the time, as I have already built a long time not a model. ;)
So, but now. On the following photos I have prepared the hull for the decals. So only primed, then the pre-shading and the individual fields ever applied different color gradations.
(Photos of the contrast looks pretty strong, but is not so)
Subsequently, the first Decals came up. This drives a little sweat on the forehead. One side is already quite satisfactory. The other, one sees it, does not fit the one Decal really good.
Now I have to decide the decal again down, or hoping, the oil color and the finish comes back into balance with the layer. Maybe yes cover other decals that "vulnerability" from?
Maybe someone here has a tip on how to get back down as a decal?
But i think, however, that it is not so simple.
And Michael,
When did you work at the Theater des Westens ? I now live not far from there. From 1988 to 1994 I was there more often. Since I work at the fire department, I was there a few times as a Fireguard.
Perhaps we met. ;)

I like your application of the wood tone decals. As for the question about patching where the decal is too small I am afraid I don't have the answer. I have not used the Uschi wood grain. Hopefully someone who has will have some good advice?
RAGIII
-
Hello,
I hope I have made up my mind not too much. ::)
On my first model for some time also the same to make a building report.
So do not be angry if it sometimes does not work out, to document each step.
It must set priorities sometimes.
Thats why i make the Photos after applying the oil glaze
When the paint is dry, then there's the finish and sealer.
So long and have a nice weekend.

Hi everybody,
I was a bit busy again and began the landing gear.
All primed, then with "Iron" by Mr Paint painted.After this with the desired color. I made the intermediate step with Iron, so I then with a sponge the top Color thing can grind so then the "metal" shines through.
Although Do not know if that always fits in the original. but the effect has worked quite well.
Then I got to talk some parts put together, as you can see in the photos. For this purpose, again the engine in detail.
I wish you all a pleasant week ever!
Best regards
Jörg

Beautiful work, Jörg. the variation in the fuselage colour is terrific. Very
nice work on the undercarriage. Great update, my friend. :D
Cheers,

Jorg,
What an outstanding build thread my friend. Quite impressive works come from your bench. Keep up the outstanding level of excellence.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
PS: Welcome aboard this Awesome Forum too.

Jorg,
You are making great progress. I really like the details you added to the engine. Keep going!!
v/r,

Very nice, Jörg! The engine looks great.
I also liked the chipped green paint and worn, shiny metal look of the vice that is holding the engine. People work really hard to simulate that look. The armor guys would be jealous! ;) ;D
George

Very wonderful work Jörg.
Cheers
Martin

Your Albatros is progressing nicely Jorg! Well done so far. Like I said before your skill with the engine work is outstanding!

Wow! This is looking Prima, Jörg! All of it is great but I think the fuselage is especially fine. Convincing and wonderfully subtle color variations.
YOU are kicking butt!
Cheers from NYC,
Michael
PS Komm wieder, Mensch...nächestes mal, ruf mich an und ich kaufe dir Bier!
You've never offered to buy me a beer, Michael... Dude, I'm hurt! :-\
George

Looooooove that dirty engine!

Hello my friends,
Thank you for the kind and uplifting words. :D
Currently hold me a little sniff and a running nose back from the workbench.
Not really, but the time at the workbench is not so long now. ;)
Kindly regards
Jörg
@Michael Yes, New York ist immer eine Reise wert. Ich nehme dich beim Wort und dann wird es aber mehr als ein Bier! ;)
-
Hi,
I like New York, have been there 2 times, the last time we celebrated the wedding of our niece in Central Park and the next day we went on a bike tour with Bikethebigapple. This was in the evening and the weather was great, just wonderful along the Hudson. 8)
Of course there is also a beer for you, or even 2 ;) if you should come to Berlin again. I know old German "Kneipen" with good beer and even good food. :D
And thanks for the tip, I'll take care of the struts. i hope! ;)
Kindly regards
Jörg
PS. It is of course everyone else cordially invited to look at the beautiful Berlin and to enjoy a good glass of beer with me. Also a Boy from California. ;-)

Thank you, Jörg, you are a true gentleman! I would love to have a glass of beer with you! :)
See, Michael? That's how it's done. Jörg has class!

I have only just found this Jorg - somehow I did not see it. I am bowled over by the quality of your work - for someone who has not made a model since 1984 I can only say that if I had managed to do so well with my first model after such a long break I would have been over the moon. This is truly outstanding work in every way - the wood finish, metallic parts on the engine, extra detail, etc show that you have the makings of a master modeller. Brilliant.
-
Hi,
Thank you very much,but not too much praise before the end.
Well, I've tinkered a bit in the meantime. A few bases for my miniatures. But not much, so I am surprised myself that it works quite well.
There are still some hurdles that I have to overcome. The decals on the wings currently running not just liquid. ;)
In addition, already sometimes difficult to find the motivation to go back to the workbench. Until now, I can do it still outsmart myself. ;)
Thank you and i wish you all a nice weekend!
regards
Jörg

Hallo, Jörg
very good work in the woodgrain - Sharing and weathering very well done👍👏
Kind regards
Jörg
(Maybe one day we meet in "Nantes Eck" for a Berliner Beer 😉 ?)
-
Hi Jörg.
how the americans say " ill be there" ! :D It would be fine.
"Nantes Eck" it´s just around the corner from me. Only five minutes! ;D
And thank you for your comment!
Regards
Jörg
PS For the other ones, "Nantes Eck" is a pub. ;)

Hello Everybody,
in recent days, I finally came to the workbench again.
In the plan, the decals were to get on the wings.
Since this was new territory again, it was quite difficult this to get it. In addition, more of fright when you've done it the plasticizer, which then form the folds.
Unfortunately, some have remained few get, but I can live with.
Then I looked to my next "nemesis" in the eyes. The propeller! At first I was going to buy me a matching wooden propeller. But since there were problems with order, I have
opted for the propeller Template by GB Productions. The result can be seen in the photos.
The eyelets were prepared then be next. The holes drilled on the wings a little and then placed the eyelets. Thus, the stress is getting closer, because the rigging is coming nearer. But now I'm already
come this far, so I let myself not be beaten!
Thank you watching and leaving a comment.
I wish you all a nice time before christmas
Kindly regards
Jörg

Jörg,
the eyelets must be smaller in diameter. Use 0.09 or 0.10mm wire and wrap the wire around a 0.2mm drill.
try it
The prop is nice!
Your wing-lozenge is not bad - BUT beware, the lozenge on the lower wing is too near to the fuselage - there is no lozenge on the wooden wing stubs.
Sorry for the small criticism!
Greetings to Berlin!
-
Hi Bertl,
criticism is welcome. So i can learn. ;-)
mmh, i use a 0,1 mm drill ?! ::)
And your are right, i have to change the lozenge at the wing stubs.
Thank you very much for the hint.
greetings back to Bavaria!
-
Jorg
Overall nice work. Bertl is right about the fabric. Theres a line on the wing which is where the wooden stub is. the fabric should stop there.
On the eyelets I use Stainless steel braided hose from flexible water pipe, I cut them up and unravel the thin steel wires. The reason I use this is the steel is incredibly strong and thin. I use a small fishing hook fixed into a dowel or piece of sprue... remember to snip the barb off though :o to twist the wire tight.
Nice work and I jope the tip helps.
Keith
-
Oh - sorry Jörg, I meant to wrap the wire around a 0.1mm drill.
Twist the wire slightly narrower.
It goes relatively easily when the wire diameter is smaller.
-
Your lozenge application came out quite nicely! Once you change the inner edges of the lower wings to wood you will be good to go! I am looking forward to your next update.
RAGIII
-
It's looking quite nice, Jörg! For a first build in a long time you are picking up the techniques very quickly.
This is my favorite version of the Albatros D.Va. I love the skulls! I plan on doing the same one when I build mine.
George

Hello Everybody,
After the Christmas break, it finally went on with the Albatros.
The rigging was scheduled. The first time for me and so I was a little bit excited.
First started up with the upper wing, and it was a foretaste of the threading of the threads. When I had mounted the top wing, I noticed that the brass sleeves were actually get too big top. But I decided to exercise in front right on my first model grace. So it stayed that way.
The assembly of the upper wing was not so easy, because the bottom had to be bent upward, so that they fit. But in the end it worked out.
So I was able to string the first page ready and on weekends when I rest i will did the other side's turn. I'm already a bit proud of it, although there are some small mistakes, that I did not mention here. ;)
But the next model will no longer be made. And that's the whole point.
So, I wish you all a happy new year and a lot of time to scale modeling! :D
Kind regards
Jörg
