Jasta15 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Does anyone have any Jasta 13 skins or any other Jasta work in progress, it would be good to have Buchner, Nietmammer & Haussmann from Jasta 13? Quote
alfie Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Don't forget Jastas 12,11,10 and many others.Check out the Albatros Fokker D.VII Anthology series... Quote
Hanseat Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Another good source is Ospreys Fokker DVII Aves Part 1 + 2 and Jagdgeschwader Nr. II Quote
Jasta15 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for the info, I already have copies of the Osprey Fokker VII aces thats why I am awaiting in anticiaption for further Jasta aces. As there are no Jasta 13 skins out yet, i was enquiring on who if any body is working on any. Warbirds seems the most likely as his Jasta 15's are materpieces!! Jasta 15 Quote

Jasta 15 I'll do a few for you, although I don't crank them out as fast as Warbirds as it takes time for me to replace the stock lozenge camo. BTW, if you go back to one of the first pages of skins, you'll find Buchner's DVII. Edited January 14, 2007 by JFM Quote
Jasta15 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Fantastic!! I have checked out some of your earlier skins and they are great. I look forward to your future skins for any Jastas. Can't believe how good you guys are!! Thanks GaryL Jasta15 Quote
JFM Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Pssstt... I hope you don't mind the Alb--had the template already all warmed up. I'll start on a DVII later this evening. Quote
Jasta15 Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 Hi JFM's Niethammers Albatros is good, addition to the Jasta's. What photo/design have you based this on as I have only seen his colours on a D VII? Have you got the original for me to look at as the hammer is head down on the Albatros and hammer head up on the D VII on the photos I have? Niethammer scored all of his 6 kills in a Jasta 13 DVII, so heres waiting in anticipation for the D VII. If you require colour prints of the DVII I can e-mail these to you if it helps? Thanks again!!

GaryL Jasta 15 Hi! That Alb skin is based a photo and color illustration in Greg VanWyngarden's book "Jagdgeschwader Nr. II, Geschwader Berthold", Osprey Publishing, 2005. Photograph is on page 49; illustration on page 56. Indeed, in both the hammer is pointing down. Thank you for your offer of color prints, but I should be okay. In the above book there are illustrations of the following Jasta 13 pilots' DVIIs: Grimm, Wolff, Michaelis, Büchner, Fritzche, Piel. I also have illustrations for Niethammer (natch), and Haussmann, plus a bunch of other photos. There are two Niethammer DVIIs--you want both? Quote

Great, I dont want to put you to any trouble so one is just fine, I am grateful for your efforts already!! TFM Top Skins Guy!! Regards GaryL Quote

Regards GaryL Just letting you know several Jasta 13 D.VIIs are in the paint shop. First up is Piel's stork. Taking a little time as I'm redoing the rib shading and the 5-color poly camo--my last go at that (Hantelmann) I had the print overlays too wide and the result was too "stained glassish". Most of the J13 DVIIs will have 4-color, but I have a few sources that indicate Piel's and Fritzche's had 5-color. Quote

I just received the Osprey JG2 book today with the many Jasta 13 plates of DV and DVII. Keep up the great work!!!!!! Jasta15 Quote
Jasta15 Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 Work in progress: JFM, its looking goooooooooooooooood!!!!! Looking forward to it. What software do you use to produce you works of art? Jasta15 Quote
JFM Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Work in progress: JFM, its looking goooooooooooooooood!!!!! Looking forward to it. What software do you use to produce you works of art? Jasta15 Thanks, J15. Just wanted to show you there was progress. I use Photoshop to skin. I don't consider them art, though! I just hack these things together by whatever means possible--if you could see my templates you'd run screaming into the moonlight! The 4- and 5-color irreg poly camo takes the longest, mostly because of the Fokker-built rib tapes. OAW-built planes used the blue tape, but Fokker-builts were cut from the camo fabric. It takes a little longer to do that, and the leading/trailing edge tape gets lost a bit, but I'm putting it on there anyway. Hopefully the first skin will be finished later today. Tomorrow at the lastest. Quote
SH71 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 On the contrary- thats ART. Looking excellent JFM. Quote
JFM Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Quick update to keep you in the loop. Entire plane is finished except for some fittings I have to attach to the fuselage that align with the footrests (near that strange black "L" shape--anyone else have that on their DVIIs? I get it on the port side only). Once that's done later today, I'll upload them. "Them" being Piel's DVII (pictured below), Fritzche's, and one of Niethammer's. After that I'll start on the DVIIs that have Buchner's altered Jasta 13 colors, with the reduced green area separated from the blue with a white stripe. These mostly had the 4-colored camo. Quote
JFM Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Ok, J15, these were uploaded and are awaiting approval: I'll have Haussmann's DVII done later today and will upload that one, too. After that, I'll start the post-Büchner-style blue/green fuselages with the 4-color wings. Enjoy! Quote

Fantastic, these are top draw, can't wait to download, I notice your real attention to detail, you have even included the three cockade marked bullet hole patches near the stork. Top job JFM!!! Many Thanks Jasta15 Quote
JFM Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Jasta 15, here's the next WiP skin for you. Should be finished tomorrow (actually, today, 25 January, but later this afternoon). Quote

JFM, Once again, you have produced a great skin, Jasta 13 now has Piel, Fritzche, Niethammer, Haussmann & Buchner. From your post you stated you were looking to do even more Jasta 13's? Would Grimm, R Paul Wolff & Michaelis complete the flight of eight Jasta 13, Fokker VII's? Can't wait if this is the case!!! Jasta15 Quote

Jasta15 Yes, I plan on doing all of them. WTH? Once you get the wings and fuselages finished, it's just a matter of swapping around strut colors, wheel colors, and whatever is painted on the sides. Also, to your list above I'll do another Niethammer (the one with the hammer on the turtledeck and the "Buchner style" green/blue/white stripe cowls) and a profile I have in an Over the Front that features a 6-pointed star (early style blue/green, probably with 5-color). With Buchner's plane, I just have to better align the ends of the white stripe where they join on different surfaces. Also, where the stripes cross the green/blue divide. This is on two different layers of the skin so I have to do a bit of trial and error to get it right. Quote
+TexMurphy Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 JFM you know your the skinning pimp, right? You wouldnt want to do a skin or two for the N28 would you? ;)))) Tex Quote
JFM Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 JFM you know your the skinning pimp, right? You wouldnt want to do a skin or two for the N28 would you? ;)))) Tex Ha! Where's my full-length leopard fur coat? Already a step ahead of you regarding skinning the N28! I discovered the need for decals, however--my skinned insignia were all jabberwocky on that thing, and EVR's "12" was listing on the upper wings. Needed to align the camo, rework the panel lines, etc. Then the J13 stuff came up so I've been doing those. After them, though, I'll get back to the N28 and just use decals. I forgot I downloaded the templates! I still haven't opened them. I'll have a look through those myself, as prior to that I just made my own. I think I still have some WiP screens around. If so I'll post one here. Quote
Jasta15 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Hey, hands off Tex he's mine!! Once again JFM is doing the bis, this guys done a squadron, can't thank him enough (Maybe a leopard skin number???) Cheers Jasta15 Quote
