The Vignette is done
« on: June 19, 2013, 05:57:46 AM »
Hi folks
Been working on this kit since October last year and finally I can say its done`.
You see Wingnuts Albatros Dva with the Bavarian decals, a Mechanic from Kellerkind and the next Mechanic and pilot from Modeller Cellar. The Jasta dog and bird are from Mantis miniatures.










Hope u like it.
Regards
LarsaQ

Absolutely stunning vignette, Larsa.  This is my favorite D.Va scheme (I plan on doing this one in 1/48 scale) and you executed it brilliantly.  As always, your figures are superb and the base is perfect.  Congratulations.
Cheers,
Bud

I've got plenty of planes in the stash.  I guess the next project is collecting figures.  Really puts the aircraft in perspective and makes it come alive.  Wonderful results! :D

All components of this vignette are absolutely brilliant, the aircraft, figures and base are each beautifully executed and add up to a stunning, realistic scene. As said before, the scheme for the Albatros is one of the best available and your figure choices are perfect, congratulations on a job extremely well done.

Very nicely done!
 I just did this scheme in 1:72 and it certainly puts some colour in my display cabinet - I'm sure it does to yours too!

Beautiful! This Albatros is top class, I do not comment on figures (out of my skills and interest). COngratulations!

Brillent stuff - I love dioramas and yours is great. The figures look really fab. Funny enough I'm doing the same Albie in a vignette entailing the grumpy NCO from Kellerkind, a few other figures and a cow..... It it turns out half as good as yours I'll be thrilled.

cheers

What an amazing scene!  Everything looks like it
belongs.  I am really taken with the figures...they
add so much to the overall feel.  The whole
vignette grabs your eye.  Needless to say the
Alby is a wonderful build on it's own, but you
have complemented it perfectly!  Thank you
for your inspiration. :)

Cheers,
Ernie

What should I say? ....I can only say Your vignette is a feast for the eyes. It 's fun to look at Your work. Very well done. The build of the Albatros, its paintwork, the figures and the little dio.
