Greetings Frank, she is an oldie but a goodie. 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. The 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. Evergreen plastic sheet and shapes for the garage structure itself.

My greatest disappointment in modeling is that I was beat out in a Reg. X IPMS contest by a Toe-Tractor (Yes a Lone Wolf tow tractor) with a scrach build 1:1 scale bloody big toe on the trailer. I missed out on owning the coveted "Lopez- Demente" Albequerque chapter prize. Sniff sniff. . .

	Stephen, Your work continues to amaze me! Being that halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, and the fact that I like WWI planes, I really enjoyed the photos of your diorama. Thanks for sharing! Daywalker, I have an Eduard DH-2 weekend edition kit on its way to me, and I will need to have it built by the end of the year. I will add that as a second kit for this build, as there is a new finish date. Scott

	Scott- Glad you are back for another round! I added your kit to page 1, is that a 1/48 kit? I added it as such, but if that's not correct just say the word and I will amend it. Frank

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	Well, that Nieuport 17 is finally done: From this (above) angle, things look pretty good. Can you see the slight misplacement of the tail decal in this one? I was really impressed with Eduard's decals but had serious trouble on the tail, which ripped slightly on the starboard side and was misplaced slightly on the port. Otherwise, most of them look literally painted on--splendid. (Below) Finally, a closeup of the cockpit. I couldn't get a decent angle to show interior details but here at least I get to show off the drilled out details on the seat and my first serious attempt at oil-painted woodgrain.

	BGuy- Now that is an outstanding build! I looked at your photos, but couldn't see any of the troubles you mentioned. That is one fine looking Nieuport. Thanks for the build, I updated page 1 for you. Frank

	Greetings all; Here is the long awaited radiator. I can see some flaws that I will have to go back and fix but now that it is all together I can risk it. Note to Part of Poland. Next time just do it as 1 piece and we can go in and twist the shutters open or leave them closed.

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	Continuing with the cockpit of the 1/32 Roden Fok.D.VI. Keeping to the perameters of my build, I had to use the kit parts and or PE made for the kit. The floorings is designed in both cases to match the Fokker Dr.I side walls and not the extended fuselage Fok. D.VI. The problem is that the control column has to be located specifically. so the flooring has to be in a specific place to do this. The compass winds up under the seat so it has to be relocated to a spot near the pilot's right side leading edge of the seat.

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	Taking a cue from Roden's 1/48 Fokker D.VII, I decided to make the upper forward cowling, ammunition box, empty belt box and etc a sub-assembly. The PE had to be altered to off-set the holes for the emptybelt chutes that will exit from the pilot's left side of the Spandau breeches.

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	The result is as good as I hoped for. I still have to set the rear of the gun breeches in two upright supports and the fuselage cross bracings that hold them. Note the repair I'll have to finish to the decal on the spine.

Re: Knights of the Sky WWI GB 9/29/2007 to 12/31/2008

	The seat is nearly completed. The depth was added to the seat to represent the parachute pack and next to touch up the edge of the seat back. Now the Spandau guns are to be dry fitted to the upper cowling deck.
