Hi 1-0, yes that would kind of freak me out too... but a lot of militaria collectors have that setup. My white styrofoam helmet/hat display head came. Perfect way to display a helmet.

Just put a great big glow in the dark smiley-face on the styrofoam head. How scary could that be ? ;D Great display!! Robert

hey Victor:
The real garand does not work anyway does it>hehe
Looks like I have to build that P40 for you to replace that match book plane of yours. Will start next week and be done for christmas. I'll send the zero and you can build that one.

Thanks Rudy but I don't have time to build models just yet. I still have Philip's P-26 peashooter to build too. Ah yes the garand is "broken" right now but not for long! I received my 30/06 Criterion barrel yesterday... yeah baby no throat erosion or muzzle wear on that. An appointment with the M1 gunsmith will be up next.

Nice display Vic. Finally get to see were the posters are now set up. I really envy your little museum corner.
What you need next is a maniquin to display the uniform and gear. ;D I know one wear in LA that Ray got for his 1930's West point unifrom displayed at the reunion. It was around $150. plus I believe.

Hey Vic
Great addition to that famous basement.
The P40 and Zero all almost complete to ship. So give those hot wheel planes to your kids to play with soon.

Hey Victor> Great way to display them. You cut holes for the wheels? Glad you liked them and was an honor building them for your birthday. Maybe I will do the P26 I have and the old B15? A couple of more you could use, attached. Rudy/26th Cav
