Olham 164 Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) The "Mad Skinner" looks at the clock - oh my god; half past nine; I haven't eaten a decent meal, nor have I shaved; and the worst - I haven't made even one flight in BHaH today! Now I'm beginning to get a feeling for how Paarma, Makai and the other skinners must have felt during the final "days of duty" for BHaH. Here is my Albatros "Feuervogel" (Firebird) was inspired first by Herr Prop Wasche/"Taffy", who wanted a plane painted like a bird. Thinking of some special bird, Cameljockey came to my mind with his "Leutnant Feuervogel". And so this extremely painted Alby came to life. It's for you, CJ and "Taffy". More pictures of the Firebird, and other designs ( "Wespe" and "Haifisch") see "skinner's department". Tomorrow, I will try to finish two or three more, but I'm not sure, how far I'll get. Oh, and Pol: I don't usually dive like that! (Lol!!) Edited May 2, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted May 2, 2009 Wels, didn't you know, that ALL the skins in the contest/sjkinning section are for free download? Go here and grab, what your pilot's heart desires. The Firebird/Feuervogel is not yet ready, but will be placed in there tomorrow. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=351 And I'll feel honoured, when you'll fly it!

Rickitycrate 10 Posted May 2, 2009 Very nice bird Herr Olham. One of your best so far. I look forward to flying the firebird and having a much closer look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted May 3, 2009 Excellent skin! I love it! How did you manage the "feathered" look? I will download this and make MvR jealous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 3, 2009 Love that!... Although I can imagine the scene of the Ground crew starting work on that in 1917...and finally finishing it on November 12th 1918...standing back in pride at their work, and then being told "Sorry, we are going to have to scrap it now..the war is over!"

Hasse Wind 46 Posted May 3, 2009 It's amazing just how talented you guys are. That Feuervogel is your best work I've seen so far, Olham! I couldn't draw stick figures properly even if my life depended on it (and even then they'd have to wear sacks over their heads), but I do enjoy watching all this beautiful aircraft art on this forum.

Olham 164 Posted May 3, 2009 Hahaha!!! You are the living example, that the English must have invented the humour, Widow! Or at least developed it full size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
