Very beautiful display. I like your grass, the figures, dog and of course the Albatros. Looks like it is going to be a winner.

Hi Ivo

Looking forward to your figure painting tutorial.  Speaking of painting things, has anyone ever tried to hand paint the outside of these aircraft like we paint the cockpits?  For example, using a base coat and then applying a French camoflage scheme using various oil colors.  Any thoughts? ???

Hi Rick
I just painted the wood grains on this Albie with an brush,yes thereŽs decals for it I know but paint by hand is more satisfying.
The painting tutorial will com up soon after midsummer.

Very, VERY nice, Larsa, as is all of your work. The figures really add a lot to the display, I'll be following your progress on the Mai figure, I might have to give these a try in future!
Cheers,
Lance
