Stephen,
What do you think about me putting your story and these pics on my small site? It is still a new site so I don't have much here. I plan doing a lot more soon. I like your story because it is child friendly. Fokker Factory

Eduard Freak; Absolutely... feel free and do so with my blessings.
Ross; all figures except the last two are from Copper State Models. The last two are; German guard= Van's Scale Models (out of business since 2001.) Major Ginger= Mike Copplestone's series 'High Adventure' Modified with a Jaguar Italian pilot from sternum to toes.

Flash from the Picadilly Daily Press...Noted socialite Mata Hari has sent her rec'd love letters from Major Ginger and a snapshot that he posed for in his flying kit. Circulaton has jumped to 512 readers.

Ah ! a cunning ruse by the German authorities! Say Gingers squadron mates !
That is obviously a fake major Ginger of some kind, odds are that it is an elaborate mannequin - you can clearly see the Germans hand in its back operating the thing ! Ginger is obviously 'up to something'  By the way, great looking model Stephen!

While Ginger's experiences with Mata Hari may have had a hand operating him in the past. Photo evidence says its not the case.

We even have Ginger's confirmation that the photo is his. '...T'is I looking suitably intrepid and chopped off at the knees in Hero worship of my Hero...Dooglearse Baaahder. He was a famous explorer from the Copplestone's Return To Darkest Africa range, sadly skewered after disturbing a pair of mating rhinos. Every figure in this range is a little gem and a delight to paint. Ours have done battle with Imperial Hun types, assorted Fuzzie-Wuzzies, and a posse of niggly Velociraptors...'

Greetings all; A bit of a disclaimer here. Only the figures identified from Copper State Models are sold by them. The scenery, crates, cane, saw horse, Merc engine on the test block and broken aircraft parts are from a diorama I am working on concerning a German salvage yard. The last two figure with the Purple Fokker D.VII are from other companies as well.
Eric already had someone contact him and ask about the broken Dr.I wing and why couldn't he do the whole machine?
