Hi guys,
I've finally regained enough motion in all of my fingers to bring the started Albatros off the shelf and take stock of where I was. One thing I have made note of though, I'll have to tone down the amount of detail I had planned. Mostly because I'm still new at this multiple wings held together with spiderweb thing.
I'll admit it. I tried to do too much, too soon. I've spent so many years building armor and adding all kinds of trinkets and baubles, that for some crazy reason, I tried to do the same thing with this Alby. When you consider that this will be my second 1/32 aircraft in over 30 years, I probably should have toned it down a bit. Once I get a couple of these things under my belt, then I can start getting OCD on the detail work.
On that note, it's kind of an interesting learning curve. Had I not read the posts here, it never would have occurred to me to paint the wings and fuselage BEFORE you assemble them, as 90% of armor and monoplane aircraft can be painted after most of the assembly is completed.
Hopefully, by next week, I'll be back in full swing. Meanwhile, the Priest is almost completed. Just some miinor weathering, (needs more mud!), and the crew can be done while I build the Albatros.
