Fokker had a meeting with the fighter pilots to discuss the reasons for the failures.What I am planning is to show the fighter pilots at the factory with no real work going on at the time.In other words I plan to have just the pilots standing around in relaxed poses looking at the wind tunnel and the Fokker model on a stand in Fokker's office.The centerpiece will still be the wind tunnel with the office as a secondary storyline.

The upper floor will be divided between Fokker's office/studio and a design storage facility.
Well,well,well I did it as requested,never too old to learn I guess.

It is my understanding that Fokker had to sell his designs to the German High Command ,I have given him an imaginary office and studio to do so .

Amazing project - love the execution and creative aspects of your work! Getting quite inspired to try a smaller scale hangar of my own now... Continuing to watch with great interest!

Rather nice line up. The guy with the cocked hat looks like he's going to ask the age old pilot's question... "Sir, when will we get to fly It?"

Love the fact he's smoking in amungst the Dope, Fabric, Oil, Wood, ETC.
We have the stage. We have the characters. Now for the play.
Out Standing !
