Beginning the underpainting.Wow !where did all those little flecks on the jacket come from? I will have to remove them with a fine crocus cloth I guess.The seam down the arm is also too visible.

The smoking buds bodies an done ,now it is on to the heads.I employed my usual method of shading with pastels over flat paint.I think that I will have to put the big guy standing in a gully.

Both guys look off balance because they haven't been fixed down yet.

I wanted to have both these guys looking outside the diorama at something going on.Obviously one is looking toward the sky at maybe an airplane flying overhead.The other guy hasn't spotted it yet.  The blond guy is very fair skinned and looking directly into the sun(light bulb) in this shot .Under more normal lighting I will see if his skin tone needs darkening at bit.

Well now it is back to the crashed Albatros.I am really looking forward to doing this as it is something that I have never attempted before.I plan to build the whole thing on a skid type platform that I can easily rotate 360 deg for ready access to everything.I figure that chances are that if they were in a hurry to remove it from the field they would have slid planks under the engine area and dragged it off the field ,probably with horses.Once deposited near the hangar,there it would be scavenged for parts.
