What's on the bench 2022

Thanks Gents......still thinking about doing tissue paper tarps on these. Might add a little more interest.

I've only ever done it as tarps covering stowage but it does look very effective in whatever way I've seen it done.

I've done a few Andrew.....with varying degrees of success, we'll see what I can stir up this time.

Very neat looking trucks Rick, esp like the detail of the shovels and those sight markers on the wings .

Thanks John, the shovels and picks were a pita to get the mounting brackets on (wine bottle foil). After that things got a lot easier. :thumb2:

Not so much of an update as to what's on the bench, as an update to the bench.

As most of you know my workspace is my kitchen table, which doubles as my work/assembly bench and spray bench. I also don't have any room left to store the stash. I have therefore been looking at updating my equipment and tools.

The most recent acquisition is the light I got for my birthday (here). It means I can get rid of the ugly laptop stand I have been putting my Ikea lamps on. As well as a general working light it doubles quite nicely as a spray booth light!

Thanks to BattleshipBob for the information on his light, which I noticed following his working area upgrade.

I used to work in an area the size of your table but ever since I got my own cave space I still work the same sized area...habit I guess.

I've been working on the Base for my Tuskegee Dio......all the greenery is down and giving it a chance to set a little before attacking the "Taxiway/Runway" with a combination of fine ballast and earth. I need it to represent a firmly compacted dirt strip.

Thanks Andrew..........scenery is not one of my strong suits so a little encouragement goes a long way! :smiling:

Sorry Buddy, but how in the hell can you get dirt wrong??? It's dirt, just throw it down and go!!! Maybe add a goat or a few sheep and you're in business, Rick......Btw, love the 6700's and they got the hood side panels right to boot. They look sweet!!! Now if only someone would make a kit of it in 1/35...............

Prost

Thanks Allen, I might be overthinking the dirt a little.........think I'll just dump some ballast on it and dust it with some earth and call it good. :thumb2:
