Do we still have a date tonight ?? (1 Viewer)

[Guy]

This is my first Luftwaffe dio :The scene is set at one of the entrances of the " Fliegerhorst Fürstenfeldbruck". The driver of the VW is asking the Luftwaffe helferin if their date is still ok for that evening . The answer comes back" I don't know; I did not receive your application form drawn up in triplicate". This is a typical example of German gründlichkeit .
Joke aside : Fliegerhorst Fürstenfeldbruck was a German air force field in Bavaria near the city of Munich. It was the main pilot training centre for the Luftwaffe during WWII. In 1935 it started as an air warfare school. In 1937 it was handed over to the Luftwaffe and a new concrete runway was completed in 1943.In 1945 the runway was rebuilt to allow operations with the Me 262. It was destroyed by a US airstrike in april 1945( 8th air force)
here you have a picture of my new dio, more to follow ( do you remember my thread about building a concrete road , well here is the result)

Great looking dio Guy. Your details are terrific. I just purchased this helferin figure recently and haven't used her in a dio yet. Your scene is well thought out. Nice job.

Guy,


Love the concrete road. Very beautifully executed. Romance in the Luftwaffe must be tough as the pilots will keep flying until they get shot down. So, maybe she is trying to find a more secured GUY.

Guy,

Well done. I like the "romantic" theme. The VW driver looks smitten with the lady. The flyboy in the corner looks on with disapproving envy. I can tell she is going to say yes in triplicate. ^&grin:tongue:

Just a picture of the house I am preparing for my next dio in which K&C and TGM figurines will be used. It is a Normandy butcher shop. The scene will be set in a small village early morning of the 6th june 1944, kids going to school ................ The front door of the house and the gutter and some onther details ( telephone cables and other things ) are still missing, will finish them in the coming week. Once the house is finished I"ll start repainting the figurines.
The rest will follow later when the dio will be completely finished

Robin
In the bottom corner of the shop window on the right of the picture there is a sign that says in French: " Plus de viande" which means : No more meat
That says it all
