I plan to build 2 workbenches for the engine shop .This is the beginnings of the smaller of the two.It is of a pretty basic design in basswood and birch popsicle sticks.The nails are the smallest I could find ,although I have seen smaller ones in brass used in shipmodeling.These ,I believe ,are from the RR track suppliers used for nailing down the rails.Although I could have used only glue the nails make for a little faster and stronger build.Large nails and sometimes bolts were used in 1:1 scale.

For the Fokker D.VII modelers.This is probably as close as you are going to get to an original undisturbed cockpit photo.This is the Knowlton Que. Fokker.

Here are a few of the boxes that I am making for the engine shop.For solid boxes(not meant to open) build up your box around a solid block of wood.The ones meant to open are a little more involved but just try to keep everything nice and square and you should have no problem.
By the way,I got some nice news from the museum where these pieces are going.Their funding has been approved and my dioramas are to become an integral part of their new teaching classrooms where they will be on display for the students.
I am very happy as my only reason for doing them since the beginning was to help educate the young ones on how real airplanes were built in the early years.Wood and wire,they gotta love it! Cheers! John.
