Airplane Gnomes

Friday, 7th September 2007 by James

Rather than the usual fare of flowerbeds, ponds or garden gnomes, Lloyd “Tud” Krohn decorates his garden with handmade aircraft.

The 1/16 scale models include a V-22 Osprey, B-17 Flying Fortress, P-38 Lightning, C-130 Hercules and an Apache helicopter.

Mr Krohn (I’m afraid I can’t bring myself to call him “Tud”) started building these odd garden ornaments over 17 years ago but, so far, nobody has figured out exactly why
