Most memorable WWI Dioramas or unique builds Vol. 1

Greetings all!

I was thinking that there has to be some really great or memorable WWI aviation dioramas or builds out there. *Can anyone contribute some jpg or gif images of what has tickled your fancies over the years. *You all have seen most of my stuff so I won't bore you with any repeats.

Despite all the changes for the worse at IWM South Lambeth in recent years there remains one jewel of an OT diorama in the WWI section. It depicts, in 1/72 scale but you can't have everything *, the seaplane carrier Ben-my-chree with a full complement of Short 184's. Well worth seeking out next time you visit.

Dioramas, ?

Who has room for a diorama?

If I built all my models on dio. I would be living in the yard. Anyway, The setting for each of my models is in my dreams or the movie ( incl the plane ) is on the screen.

Mike Good did a set of figures from a photo of Hans Pippart CO of Jasta 19 being helped with his combination kit. I had built Pippart's machine about a year earlier so it seemed a 'natural selection' to combine the two sets.
