sig request for Lotharlutjens [DONE]

I don't know how doable this is , but I'd like my sig to represent my username. I would like a somewhat "ghostly" image of a WWI biplane ( Red with yellow tail (Albatross DV(LOTHAR von Richtofen))) flying over a shrouded in mist Bismark( Admiral Gunther LUTJENS) Then, if possible, the words  "Eternal watch over Germany" emblazoned across the bottom in German. I speak only Pidgin German, but I know that watch is Wacht and over is Uber and I know Germany is Deutcshland, but I don't know how to say Eternal. So does anyone Sprechen sie Deutsch.

So would it be "Ewig wacht uber Deutschland"?

My wife votes for:

"Ewig achten auf Deutschland"

Then so it will be, thank her for her kindness, and yours as well. Now I just don't know if my request is doable. I am a babe in the woods on knowing what can be done.

You're welcome.

I'm pretty sure the pixelheads can do anything.  It's easier, though, if you could find pictures for them to work with.

Good luck.

It's probably doable, if I can find the proper source material. Right now I'm bogged down with real world issues such as work, more work and then some extra work so if you could scout for pictures that would help a great deal.

Cheers!

Are you sure it wasn't Manfred's Albatros DV that was red with yellow tail?


Lothar's was this one:




and this is a good one for Bismarck:

Good question on the yellow tail. I was pretty sure Lothar had a yellow tailed Albatross but hey wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. I will find out.

Oh yeah I was so excited by the prospect of having this cool sig. that I forgot to say this looks Wunderbar, Danke!!

I have googled up Lothar Von Richtoften and his Albatross and there are several conflicting reports, what they all have in common is the plane's front half was red and (this is where they all conflict) other parts were yellow, some say it's nose was yellow some say the back fuselage and tail was yellow some say the Aerelons were painted yellow. I googled up his Fokker DRI and its Front is red, its fuselage is grey but the tail IS bright yellow. Here's one excerpt I found.

Lothar reported colours as follows, ... Schafer had elevator, rudder and rear fuselage in black ... Lothar's was the same but he chose yellow "
and " von Richthofen finally relinquished his monopoly of red and all machines of Jasta 11 adopted a red motif - usually the nose forward of cockpit followed by a personal colour marking on fuselage or tail."


The counter for Lothar von Richtoften in "Blue Max" depicts his Albatross as solid red with a yellow tail. I wasn't there, so I can't be sure. Any way that you do it I'll still be grateful. Thanks for your efforts.
