What's on the Bench 2024

Currently I am working on a shorts 360 it's a combination of the Eastern express kit and with the Welsh models jersey European decals it's only 1/144 scale but needs a lot of work mainly on the filler front

This is one of the vacuum-formed dioramas by Heller, that I just glued to a piece of MDF (25 by 36 cm), and am now painting a colour called “butter pecan” with craft paint from FolkArt. I first sprayed a grey primer from an aerosol over it yesterday, because when I tried applying the paint directly on the bare, white plastic, that colour came through far too much, as the paint doesn’t “grip” well. Adding a coat of primer helped a lot, though I’ll probably still need to go over it in a few places to cover the primer better.

Until the next GB i have a pile of parts from a rather large RC Scania!
Just ripped it down and going to re-route the wireing. There were just to many wires in to small a space!

Alongside the Revell Raiden ive been doing a couple of bf109s , a Tamiya e-7trop and an AZ f-2 . I didnt bother with build logs as there wasnt much to see , and its not like we havent seen a 109 built before ! That said - I’m thinking of doing a side by side build comparison with the Tamiya and Airfix 109E s just to compare the different approaches to the kits .

Well, now the biplane GB is done it’s back to the little blokes…..
Some lawn ornaments and a small mobile rock thrower……

This is what I managed to make at the show yesterday and today:

Not that I spent the majority of my time working on this, but look at the amount of putty I had to use on these parts … It probably took about the same amount of time filling, filing and sanding, as it took to clean up the parts and glue them together.

Just about Half way through my latest airfix 1/24 it's the stuka not too bad for the age of the moulds
One I have only built once but a very very long time ago.

Even whan incomplete the 'Stuka' just looks so mean!

Update on Revell 1/144 Saturn V build.

Things have slowly moved along with the internal and engine parts painted. Now for image overload.


Now the first long session of masking for the black sections.

[minitnkr]

One of these 5 incomplete "shelfqueen" projects will be next. resin M18 kit, scratch 10ton wrecker, detail 3 LeRoi GMCs, resin Panther D kit, or metal D7 kit.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Work on the one that's nearest to completion, the wave of enthusiasm will carry over to complete the next!

Miko (really dislike having incomplete kits! My Tamiya 1/20 scale Honda F1 RA272 has sat waiting patiently for over a year haunts my modelling bench)
