What's on the Bench 2024

[Lee Drennen]

What a glorious rebuild and transformation, cannot wait for the rest. Dutifully parked in queue at the tollgate with other interested parties to join the convoy when ready.

Thanks Stefee. I appreciate the complement. Who knows will join in but the tolls are not high.

[Lee Drennen]

you'r a braver man than me

I’ve had my moments with it Steve. Just remember back in ‘72 the glue was a lot different. Thankfully Bill was the type of builder that used the bare minimum of glue on some parts.

[Lee Drennen]

Yesterday evening I got some more progress done. My decals arrived and I added them to it. I used Bill’s original wheels they were in great shape still. Maybe some more updates later.

[Lee Drennen]

Put this on the bench today. I’ve been chipping away at this for about 3 years now. Today is the most I’ve gotten done. Frame is almost ready for paint.

Just doing a test...Is there a way to add text under the pic? So far, so good with the new server. Thanks John...

Arm 'n Dogs...

Youngerthanme, when you put the pic up there should be a flashing icon (I, like this) at the bottom right of the pic. Don't leave your mouse over the pic or it will not show. Click on the Return button and the icon will move down to the next line.
Hope this helps

Just testing adding a photo to the new site - got these two on the bench. Airfix's 1/72 Hawker Typhoon and Starter Set Spitfire mk.Vc.

[Allen Dewire]

I guess it works folks. A couple of others on the table (don't have a bench) at the current time,


Seafood on a stick...Yummy!!!......And I think some folks might remember this older build. I know Mr. Merryweather probably does,


The Albatros W.4 is getting finished up. Still working my way around the new forum too. It sucks to be old, but so far, so good as I managed this and another post...

Prost and back for the attack

Why thank you Jim! Good to see you here, my friend. Lots to learn on the new forum too. Hope all is fine on your end, Sir...

[Neil Merryweather]

[Tworrs]

[Mark1]

1/48 wessex hu5 with eduard exterior etch ,getting there slowly but surely.

Damn!!! That's another one I can put back in the stash....
Looking good so far.

[Waspie]

I wonder why they haven't got a five point harness? All the Wessex, 1's, 3's and 5's), I have ever worked on had 5 point harness'. Were the harness' with the kit or aftermarket Mark??

[Mark1]

Doug the belts are etch that comes with the kit, I will double check ive not missed them cos that is a possibility lol

Finished the Buccaneer and waiting for two GBs to start in October. A quick build to fill in the time. Airfix 1/72 Curtiss Tomahawk. Not much more to do. Just a few progress shots.

[Allen Dewire]

Wow Jigs, good to see you busy too! Scale is a bit too small for my eyes, but you are doing a great job and it's a wing thingy too!!!

Good to see you back again bud, the build is looking sweet.

[PaulTRose]

Coat of aluminium.....next will be lots of masking for the black on upper nose and red on tips of flying bits

[Ian M]

Well there is this on my bench at the moment.

I really have a bad habit of building as much as I can before I start to paint! These are the parts divided up into which bits are mostly the same colours. Cabs are a problem as they need both inside and outside painting... Hmm

A few moments later.

Oh! Shiny. The laderframe and bed rails are also painted, just another place to dry.

[scottie3158]

Ian, looking good mate.

[Jim R]

A quick, fill in build until October's GBs. Airfix 1/72 Curtiss Tomahawk.
