Athmospheric Albatros Diorama

[Olham 164]

Here's the link to a diorama (photos), wonderfully built - with an athmosphere I could really feel in to.

You almost wished to be sitting by that oven with a mug of coffee, looking at the Albatros.

That's no way to treat a nice stove.

Make sure you clean the mud out of the barrels, we wouldn't want the breeches going up in your fizog.

Poor Olham would have to clean the rounds as well never know the belts might get all tangled in the mess... Thats if some enterprising person hasn't aquired the rounds for his own personal fireworks show...

 

But on a Serious note it does look pretty... well for a German plane...

Oh my goodness! I knew the Vintage Aviator, but hadn't been there for some time!

These pics are superb!

Amazing model, Olham. Thanks for the link.

 

Too bad I already burned all my models last week....

Albatri, eh? I prefer them with the fabric off. They don't fly, so we don't end up shooting 'em down. Better for the German pilots and better for our conscience.

[Olham 164]

Yeh, dream on, boy!

(Until splintering wood, shredded fabric and boiling oil from your screaming engine

will wake you up - Mmuahahahahahaaaaa!!!)
