The Zhodani Commando: Algernon Pulls It Off! More Albatros goodness of Jasta 5

Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Algernon Pulls It Off! More Albatros goodness of Jasta 5

I finished three more machines for Jasta 5. This time they are Albatros D.V variant. The placement of the wing exhaust vent, and tail shape are the only difference that you would see in this scale.

The all green machine was flown by Rudolf Matthaei, the half white with red band flown by Heinrich Bussing, and finally the one with the Red heart on machine was flown by Werner Voss.

Coming out of my coma like illness I made mistakes in painting my D.III's in D.V colors and vice versa, but unless I said something no one would know but me.

The last picture shows all six machines I have done on the prowl.
