Those are some nice pieces to have in dioramas and such. Great work! I am not sure I have the patience to scratch build things so I admire those who have the skill and the time!

well not at this time...making them is no problem...making the shells is something that I bet some one here could make...If I had a metal Lathe then I could make some out of scrap metal.

they would also look good in a maintenance diorama


The Luftwaffe also used ladders in maintenance of their birds
Also many Luftwaffe pilots along with RAF pilots waited in nervous anticipation in lawn furniture next to their birds...many had phonograph players or played chess on a small table.

Panzer crews also lounged around in chairs in what down time the had..normal they looted those from nearby farms. Most field maintenance and rearmering of their tanks was done with ladders....
Most of the time. that is.

these two pictures are taken from fine art models and are not mine
I am in the process of re making the work platform. I am going to use smaller diameter metal rod to achieve this look

I am also going to tackle the F4U-1A Corsair - Pappy Boyington - Lucybelle - With Ground Crew,

I will only make the ladders, crates, tool box, and wheel chucks only
