The terrible results of AMS

[StephenLawson]

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.

You may ask 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.

Strangely enough, I can relate to this.

Steve,

Any close up shots of those planes or the Red Baron hot rod back there???

Greetings JIm,

Yes I have some images around here I could post later. The Red Baron Dragster in the diorama above is pretty much OOB. But here is one I tricked out...

When I was a Kid I went to a Custom Car Show in Raleigh, N.C. This Red Baron Car was there. That was one wild car! Butch
