Above: One of Christian's first dioramas, made when he was 12. A Jagdpanther crashes through a Normandy hedgerow,
while a foot soldier turns to throw a grenade. When he was 5 or 6, he used to sneak into the model room, open an unbuilt model,
and try to put it together with Scotch tape.

Above: Christian's Heinkel HE-111 sits on a hardstand in Germany. Nearby, an AA gun sits at the ready.
The model is almost done - just a few more details and clean up remain.

Above: The HE-111 under construction in the model shop. The staple medium bomber for the Luftwaffe throughout
WWII, the HE-111 was adequate for the early days of the war, but was obsolete by 1943 and easy prey for Allied fighters.

Above: An F-15 sits on a runway, guarded by an MP. This model was Christian's first jet, built when he was
13. At 13, I could not have come close to this kind of detail.
