WWI Mobile

[bob martin]

I was running out of room to display models. So. I came up with this
idea. I noticed after I took the pictures there were a couple I forgot to replace the props. You can't really see the pilots but they are cut down army men and painted with goggles on.

Woe Bob U thought mine was bad but that's takes the cake, it shows there's more room to spare in my den but I think it's enough anyway the light has to shine through somewhere.

Quite interesting photographs you guys put here!!!

AWESOME!!

[redhorse]

Thanks Bob, I love your room! I don't have any models hanging yet, what do you hang them from? I'm always afraid they might fall down.

[bob martin]

Thanks Guys....

Hey Jim,

I have what they call a popcorn ceiling over sheet rock. I use push pin, the ones with the big round heads on them. You have to put them in at an angle. The models are hung with thread. I bend straight pens to make hooks on the models. Occasionally one does fall. I just get out the glue, fix em up and rehang them. I've never had one damaged beyond repair, except when the Grand Kids gets a hold of one:D

The ceiling of my den is giprock a material U can easily push pins into as is the walls of the den so my walls are full of posters, I'll put them up one day to show the members as well.

Great close-up Bob U done an exceptional job in learning how to do photograph planes in a close-up position the tri-plane looks great as do all U'r other planes.
