What's on the Bench 2024

[Ian M]

I am in the closing stages of this little gem:

A few small bits to add. Handles and mirrors. Not sure if I want the shed or the frame on the back or just leave it as an open bed.

Cracking build that Ian - I love the detailing on it.

[colin m]

That does look really nice.

I've been working on this old (1982) Airfix kit of the F-104F Thunderchief. Not a great kit shape wise, but a bit of pure nostalgia for me - I remember building one as a kid. Pretty much done, I just have to sort out the load and do a bit of work on the fuselage pylon and MER.



All the paint was done with a brush and Hataka blue-line paints.

Cheers!

Nostalgia builds, well why not. Great stuff.

Frame is too good to leave off. Great job.

This is all you’re getting just now, you’ll have to have a bit of a guess. Except to say, it carries four firestreak missiles.

[Si Benson]

This is taking a. Lot longer to build then I thought!

Well, I haven’t done much recently, but I’m plodding through some little blokes on Neddies.
Neds are done and based, just need the riders now…

Riders are primed and will be painted next….
I’ll post more when I’ve got further along with them…

Cheers Steve. Used a new idea (to me) on some of the saddle cloths. Usually, like most people, I undercoat the area in white and then use a few coats of yellow to get decent coverage. The lighter four were painted this way. However, the others were painted using a pink undercoat highlighted with a flesh colour. The yellow covered well in two coats and gave a much more saturated shade to the saddlecloth, and also gave decent highlights as well. It’s what I will be using in future…

[Steven000]

Good thinking, you can definitely see the difference with the deeper yellow saddles.
