What's on the Bench 2024

[Graeme C.]

A new thread for the New Year, post your builds, show what you're working on.
If one of those kind gentlemen, the moderators could lock the 2023 thread please.

Undecided but will start one next week.

Having lots of rudimentary fun with the proxxon. If anyone is on the fence (pun intended) about getting one, go for it.

[Allen Dewire]

The driver for my Simca is slowly being painted. However, I made a bit of a mistake with the colours, as her jacket came out about the same colour as her skirt, so she now looks like she’s a WAAF or something, when the intent was obviously civilian. I’ll have to repaint one of the two, but not sure yet which colour to use. (She’s still loose, just posed in the car for the picture, so it’s not a problem to paint part of the figure again.)

This is supposed to be an old abandoned Belltower. The church window is FOG and the door is RT Diorama.Those rows that are afoul will be hopefully hidden with stucco.... this might even get a damaged roof since Mr. Race was so kind to show how...

Is that lady the one everyone here refers to as "Matron" ?

No, Matron has snakes for hair etc - just think of your worst hangover, whose bed you are in and what on earth is that you are laying next to and did you??? Then that is 'The Matron'.....

Aw man... after 40 years passed I had just about gotten THAT out of my memory banks

I've known one or two Nora's - you've all met one - you wake up entwined but would rather gnaw your arm off than wake her for breakfast ...

After receiving various goodies from the shop I have started to tart up the Revell 1/144 Saturn V.

Firstly the 5 main engine bells and base plate are bereft of any details. Each exhaust has taken 2 hours to remedy the seams and interior which were awful with card, sprue glue, filler and primer/filler this is what is left to work with

After looking on line and other builds I have added clamps and pipes which, although not 100% accurate, add a bit of interest. Took 4 hours and another 4 to tackle.

Thoughts and comments appreciated.

Well,as you may well know, I've been tinkering with an old 1/48 Jaguar behind the scenes.
This evening,I masked up the canopy and set it on the stand, ready for priming. :smiling3:
...then,when I put it on the bench,in line with my other on going builds,(a Bf 109,and a WW1 Albatross),it dawned on me how these builds represent all 3 of my favourite eras... Completely unintentional.. it just happened!! :rolling:....
