Albatros D I, Jasta 6, Fall 1916 (Roden 1:32)
« on: June 23, 2016, 08:42:54 AM »
Hello,
I recently finished her. The Pilot is an Elan13 Figure, painted with acrylics and oils. I will add some dead leaves to increase the autumn-feeling. I really enjoyed this build.

Kind regards
Borsos

Wow - that is one beautiful model. I absolutely love the overall presentation of the aircraft and figure, and it was good to follow the build as you progressed through it. Congratulations on a masterpiece!

A superb model beautifully painted and detailed, you did a great job with the rigging, the addition of the figure is the finishing touch, well done.

Very very nice. I assume the darkish photos are supposed to enhance the "autumn feeling"?

One fine example of proper modelling. shows perfectly what a beautiful job you can do with a Roden kit with some time and patience.

I wish Roden could see this, perhaps send them some images? Who knows it might reignite their interest in producing something new in 1/32nd.

Congratulations, Borsos, on a truly superb model and base.  The figure is
also a nice touch as well.  Wonderful modeling, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

    As I said in your "Under Construction" Thread, Borsos, this is simply an outstanding Model. I agree with Keith, a fine example of what can result from a bit of extra effort with Roden's products. Hopefully they will get back into the game soon. Well done nose to tail!
Cheers,

I know I'm repeating myself, but it bears repeating: This is the best looking Albatros I've ever seen!  And the vignette is magnificent!  Your pilot figure is truly a work of art and that base is very convincing.  Which grass mat did you use, Andreas?

I agree with all of the above - that is a simply super model and the figure really adds to the whole. The atmosphere of autumn has been captured well too - all round a first class example of modelling.

 Borsos,
Absolutely Awesome project my old friend. Truly impressive works inhabit your bench. As Bud said she's the finest Roden Albatros I've seen period.
IMHO Roden isn't a runner up with WNW but rather a full equal in the hands of a Master Level Modeler. I for one would love to see more Roden WWI projects grace this forum. Well Done my old friend,Well Done.
Highest Regards,

I agree with BUd completely. Your outstanding build was a pleasure and learning experience from start to finish!
