Kent,
Thanks for sharing another one of your great projects. It really tells a story and once again, belongs in a museum.

This is Really Stunning work! I Love the Triplanes. Your work on them is Fantastic. One thing is certain, I pick up another detail every time I look. The car is exceptional as are the figures and ground work! Brilliant Diorama!

Thank you for your kind words Gent's. I appreciate it.
I'm really happy with the result, commemorating the legendary 'Red Baron'.

Wow, that is outstanding, Kent!
Thanks for posting it here.  Only a couple of days after the anniversary of MvR's death.

What the others have written....what can I add? I am truly blown away by this diorama - it is just so realistic. It has been weel worth the wat for it to be finished and it has been an interesting and informative experience to follow your build thread.

And I completely agree with Kevin - it should be in a museum - but on public display not in a storeroom.

Kent, your dioramas are truly an inspiration to all of us.

Your latest work is just breathtaking and sharing it with us just "lifts" the Forum to another higher level of excellence. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

By the way your figures, photography and ground terrain are all superb.

Definitely world class quality and a worthy candidate for a major museum display.

Hi Kent,

Beautiful, Great job !!

I thought I saw it somewhere maybe in a previous post and now I can't find it:  What is the car and what model did you use?
