Make your own personal effigy of Kaiser Bill. Be careful how you cut out his arm.

This figure, properly scaled, and the model found here (http://ift.tt/1VKODaB)
is just what is needed to create a diorama of the Imperial inn-keeper checking up on his "guests".

If you want to learn more about what it was like to be a guest of the Kaiser download or buy a copy of this WW1 memoir.:

or here is a story of some of the Kaiser's guests who decided to check out of one of the Kaiser's hotels and go home:

Almost a paper model

I found this clock stashed in my garage and decided to make a new face for it. I drew the clock face using a CAD program, copied the B-17 picture and the Boeing logo from the 'net and put them all together, printed it, cut it out and used spray adhesive to glue it over the original clock face. It was quick and fairly easy to do. The clock is now in my WWII display room and it looks pretty good. I will do a larger one soon, this one has a 7 inch diameter face. The other picture is the one that may go on a larger clock.
