Thank you all so much! I could easily point out the "not quite right" things, & you'll see some if you look long enough. ;) But, I'm my own worse critic & I'm sure that many of you can relate. Thanks again to all who helped along the way with answers to my questions. Also, thanks to all who post progress photos & share your techniques, I have learned quite a bit from them.

I like to photograph models against a dark background, but for the shots of this one completed, it just didn't work. Too much in the shadows, but I like this one a bit.


Now, I guess I need to learn how to make a realistic base for some outdoor photos.

That really is one of the best Albatroses I've ever seen, in any scale. The fact it's 1:72 is astonishing.

A truly informative and awesome build to follow! Your Albatros is one of the best I have seen. Like I said during your build, it holds up well to many larger scale builds in both details and painting.

Steve,

As a result of this I'm getting the Eduard Spad XIII in 1/48 & 1/72. With the dearth of Wingnuts kits it's about time I made a WW1 kit again and you've inspired me to try!

Although I'll probably be cursing you when I'm trying to rig them!

Ps a 1/72 group build would be a challenge!

Wow! Absolute amazing work. I am in deep awe! You raised the bar to a level that is hard to reach.

I have also been to your built log and still speechless.

It is probabely boring when everybody is saying the same. But I cannot but join in: What a fantastic build, a great little model and hard to believe that it's 1/72. Really a masterpiece!
