John, That is looking absolutely superb and has really captured the flavour of the moment. The modelling is excellent as well and you could just enjoy looking at it and imagining that you are there with them.

What your well-dressed ground personnel would be wearing in the 20's
As you can see it is a real mixed bag of civvy and semi-military styles!

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.

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.
