On the afternoon of Aug. 20, 1918 the unit had just returned from a strafing and bombing mission with near empty fuel tanks and empty ammo boxes. The word came by field telephone; “. . .The enemy has broken through in sector 7. . .”

Stephen T. Lawson is back with one of his fantastic diorama. This time he recreated the particular atmosphere of an abandoned WW1 German aerodrome hangar. If you look closely, I''m sure you will find one or two ghosts of fallen pilots!

Thanks!

Absolutely amazing! Imagine stumble across a forgotten place like that in the middle of nowhere in real life, with some WWI fighters.....WOW!

Fantastic!

Yet another amazing build from mr. Lawson. It really works well on my imagination!

Cheers, Nico

Greetings all;
My sincere thanks for your kind words. It is not my best work but we all started somewhere. Like Shep Paine says we should be doing it better as we go. If it inspires someone else thats good enough. If someone looks at my old diorama and says " I can do better than that !" Then may be they will. We should help and inspire one another. None of us would be where we are if someone didn't share their experiences.

Like I said in the text. I see lots of things I would do differently today. On to the next build. Model On!

Nice job Stephen, not only well executed, but extremely creative.

wow! thats a nice dio stephen, it really captures the look of a place abandoned for years. is it based on a true story?

Thanks Dave and Phil!

As for the story line. . .it was revealed to me in a dream.
