Dear forumites what follows is the most tragic example of Advanced Modelers Syndrome (AMS.) I just found this article in our local Newspaper. A local UPS driver made his usual stop at a home in a Denver suburb. He noticed that there was a mountain of previous deliveries stacked outside the adjoining garage. The driver also heard the sound of growling of a small canine in the garage. Fearing the worst he called the local police, fire & rescue and animal control. When they opened the garage the grisly sight before them was too bizarre for the local TV news people to broadcast. BE WARNED AMS IS DANGEROUS! Due to the recent closing of the Glencoe institute, no one was available for comment. I can't hardly bear it...

As to the composition of the pieces for the garage The major pieces should be immediately visible. The 1/28 Revell Fokker Dr.I with a Clerget engine, The Monogram Red Baron Dragster. Then all but one of the skeletons are Monogram items (Lil Coffin & Rommel's Rod.) One of the skeletons is a Fujimi mechanic carved down using a dremel motor tool. The rest of the items are from the Fujimi garage set, local Rail-Road hobby shop, Verlinden Cardboard boxes with model company logos on them. Resin crates with Model company decals applied.

i have been asked about the origins of my diorama and why would i do something that was so close to home it was scary... (I used a friend's garage for the basis.) Here is where I got my inspiration.

When I get older losing my hair,
several years from now!
Will you still be sending me a posted thread
Birthday greetings, or modeling dread...
If I´d been up till quarter to three
building one Fokker mooooore,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I´m sixty-four?
Yooooou´ll beeeee ooooolder toooo ooooo,
Aaaaand iiiif you saaaay the word,
I - could - build - for - you.
I could be handy, mending a fuselage
When your spars are gone.
You can paint a Camel by the fireplace
Sunday morning be an Aeroscale Ace,
Doing the wings, rigging the struts,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I´m sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage,
near Hendon UK , if it´s not too dear.
We shall scrimp and saaaa aaaave
With a buil -ding board on your knee
drilling, cut and aze.
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating points of view .
Indicate precisely what you mean to build
Yours sincerely, waiting for a thrill
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I´m sixty-four ? boom - boom....

The bloodshot eyeballs on the AMS Ghoul are brilliant.

I was closely studying the AMS Diorama posted and I have some concerns about the anatomic correctness of the figure. The number of tarsal and carpel bones might be incorrect. In addition, I don't see evidence of rib cartilage. The suture lines in the skull are not prominent enough.....

Keep those left over condiment packages, they make people happy at Halloween. The neighbors kid came trick or treating last year and I pulled out the little wicker bowl we use to hold all the condiments. I poured the entire bowl of condiments into his bag and he ran home all excited. Of course, the mask he was wearing made it impossible for him to see into his bag. I heard him yell to his parents “Carl really hooked me up.” Then I heard his parents laughing their heads off. See, you never know when condiments might brighten up somebody’s day.

I have been asked for more detailed images and made some time to do this. You will note some various scales of WWI aircraft kits 1:27 - 1:144.

That is a neat diorama Stephen. Thanks for "breathing some life" into it and bringing it back again.
Lots of neat stuff there to scope out.
