Jagdstaffel 5 - july 1917 - Albatros D.V - 1:72
« on: May 13, 2014, 03:48:49 AM »
Hello guys,
I would like to present to you my work on my new project : diorama - Jagdstaffel 5 - Boistrancourt July 1917 . It will include three or four aircraft Albatros DV. The models are the company Eduard 1:72 scale .
Project implementation will use some photos taken in July 1917 in mansion Boistrancourt, which was the headquarters of Jasta 5 in the period 1917 -18 :






My work start with this:
I scrach a soft part of the seats, the metal structure on which grip and wood panel behind it :







Fuel tanks, boxes shells and bullets , and the wooden panel on which are mounted :









Several additions to the interior, as well as several covers removed ( they got the idea that I will present later ):





Knocked it for now . Currently working on the engines , which I hope soon to be ready .
Best Regards
Hristo

Hello Hristo.

I had to do a double take when I saw that the scale is 1/72. You have made a very accomplished start.

Best wishes

Superb work, Hristo!  Even more amazing that you have put such
wonderful detail in the teeny scale.  I look forward to the next updates.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hristo,
   Your details are worthy of praise in any scale, in 1:72 the work is exceptional!
Nice modelling, and I look forward to following your progress.

Amazing to see such quality work in 1/72. I wish I could make 1/32 look so good.

I think you hit a 7 instead of a 3 when stating the scale! VERY impressive work so far. Interesting to note the 2 D.IIIs in among the D.Vs....

That is truly impressive work in God's Own Scale: and x4 makes it even more so. What material did you use for the seat cushions? This is something that I would like to try but have no idea as to what to use.
