You evil evil man you. I came into this thread hoping for porn =x

Looks very good...

I don't even want to know how Koji made the connection between albatross and porn...

A little less reflection and it would almost look like a painting.

Great stuff.

Ex: "this guy's stuff"...

Go take a cold shower then, Kojikun, if you can make a sex reference out of that.

WTF?! AGGGHHH!!!

*slaps Kojikun*

Go take a cold shower, Squeaky!

WOW, that's amazing! The details are amazing... There's a hobby that beats doing drugs.
Now, if he could take a little bit of shinyness, so the planes don't look so plastic.

There's a bit of a debate going on in WWI hobbyist circles about that. One camp is of the "there's reflection in original phtotographs" the other is "weathering, weathering, weathering." I kind of straddle the fence, however last night on Discovery Wings channel they were showing original footage of the Albatros factory, and the fuselages were downright glassy! They were varnished plywood, but look at that shine. Doped linen in RL also produces a gloss effect on museum AC.

Right, but those were planes right out of factories, or for museums... When they get to front line airfields, they probably end up loosing the gloss due to the weather. Anyway, a little bit of weathering never hurt...
Still, amazing shots, the Albatross ones are pictorial book material.

No cold showers for me!

Oh c'mon! What's wrong with you? Don't those long, hard, glistening wooden fuselages do anything for you? Think of all that fabric, stretched real tight!

SHHH!! Don't encourage the pervert, Frank!!

Well, the reflection might have more to do with the CG medium more than anything else.

Did you see Koji's post in the AT-ST Kama Sutra thread? That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while.

I find that reflections and speculative are often overdone in CG pics that try to be realistic. It irks me to see humans that are too reflective. heh.

I also find that AT-STs and planes would probably have great sex but that borders on aerophilia and gods know thats sick. =x
