[Richard48]

Fiat Mefistofele 1/12 been taking up some room on the bench,144 parts for the 24 spark plugs and leads next,most needing to be cut to size :rolling: [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199880[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199881[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199882[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199883[/ATTACH]

Working light bridging platoon. Thought I'd give you an idea of typical loadout including 16 planks & two ramp sections already loaded.

Nice looking Pioneer trailer....built up from Wiking?

[minitnkr]

Yes, Rick, circus trailers I think. Second squad.

Something else for my lad, Games Workshop Squig Hoppers.

They were pretty unstable so I've CA'd some Liquid Gravity into the bases

Not a games workshop fanboy, but I do like these. They always make me smile….Might be cheaper to just glue in a 2p piece or a suitable washer rather than use liquid gravity though. Also means they stick to magnetic sheet for storage…..

[Andy T]

Yes, I have a box of suitably sized washers at work but you know teenagers - it had to be done now :rolling:

Didn't use much LG to be fair.

He's moving more to the Age of Sigmar stuff as he prefers the figures to 40k

I haven't been posting anything for some months as my focus was on other issues and, last but not least, my bench average temperature during winter is 6/7 °C (44 °F), which is definitely outside my comfort zone.
But I haven't been totally idle and thanks to Warren's idea (LINK HERE) I made a paint drawer for my bench




While attending to other house chores, I managed to inch forward on this small build, a 1/72 RE 2005 just to keep in touch with plastic and glue.


and had my old hi-fi system working again (in the end it was an amplifier problem, solved by having the equalizers - the 3 empty slots are visible on the left of the ampli - removed by a specialist).


Last but not least, even if not directly related to my bench, I'm planning to attend to the following show in the near future (how could I miss it! :smiling

That's a great way to store and organise, Andrea. Definitely worth doing.

Loving the paint storage!
I used to have that Marantz amp, with the matching tuner and cassette deck. Chucked out when SWMBO decided it was taking up too much space. I gather they're 'collectable' now. The amp did have a habit of blowing output transistors, easily fixed by replacing them.

3rd squad.

1st Squad armor & sturmboot. This MkIII has an interesting backstory. A pioneer officer thought it was a good idea to modify some old MKIIIs to hump bridge materials for an Ost front river crossing mission. Afterwards, upper was not impressed & ordered them restored. This one's paperwork was lost.

Trucked 1st squad.

That tank is HUGE......just jumping from an Opel Blitz truck to the Junky JU52 I just finished was a giant step in scale! Never mind going into a larger scale.....for me it would be Traumatic!! :tongue-out3: Probably need Matron to put me right....

That can easily be arranged !
