Guest LSP_Jay L Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi Dave; Very sound advice indeed. It was therapuetic at times, then very stressful when glue wouldnt stick and when the final wires were going on and I had to maneuvre around exisitng ones. But I got it finished in the end, and while it's not perfect ( where the wires meet the stretchers is a bit messy in a couple of places ) I am very pleased with it. I'd love to show you but I am haveing some serious difficulties with this bloody computer at the moment. Cheers mate, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietvWdV Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hey Jay! Awesome work on the albatros! I just popped your package into registered mail. Should reach you in 10 days the lady said, but add a week cause it's Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Jay Far be it from me to teach you to suck eggs but have you tried MS paint? Open up the image then stetch it 25% (or whatever works). Just resave it. Sorry if you've already done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LSP_Jay L Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Ok that worked, now lets see if the joy continues... I guess not. But at least I know the problem isnt mine as all of the pictures are identical and the first one worked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 jay, nice job! The whole WWI thing is so open for kitsand goodies, it is amazing. The best thing is ,for a new commer,the windsock series would be almost the only ref. needed to build really nice models. (even the wild Brit. stuff!!) I just picked up the DVII kit today for 50.00 US at a hole in the wall hobby shop, along with some other stuff!! this build probably had something to do with that! Right now I am enjoying some local New England brew, reading your article and letting you know the .45 offer is still on for the computer. (NICE, satisfying holes!)

Guest LSP_Jay L Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks Mike! I was looking at the DVII tonight and thinking how nice it would look all done up. Of course those Lozenge decals dont look like they would be too much fun! hopefully another pic will work now... Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koala Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 !!!!!!!!!!! Torture!!! I wanna see some more pics - Looks GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Very nice build Jay! Quite a treat; sure hope you can post some more pics. Regarding the D.VII, I've read elsewhere that the lozenge decals are somewhat transluscent, suggesting they could have an interesting effect with the proper 'underpainting' color. Would require some experimentation; fortunately the lozenge sheets can be purchased independently. Good luck posting more photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Jay, that looks awesome mate. Once again you have done a wonderful job, I guess if the pictures aren't working we'll have to wait for the article in MAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Great work Jay. Just seen it this morning. Very well done indeed. Love the wood finish and the weathering. Would be grateful for some closeup pics if you find the time. There is so much detail I would love to see close up. Your painting is really way out. Great stuff!!
