What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
BlrwestSiR replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
Hope it's industrial sized. My work space is definitely the most crowded it's been. Scott, might be best to avert your eyes. Don't want o give you a coronary.... . . . . . .... I've just wanted to build something...so anything has been fair game. Like I said, I'll most likely clean up once I get a few of these projects done. -

The XIV conversion and the Vosper are back in their respective boxes. As is the Stratos and Magach. So technically not on my bench. -

Scott, are you doing a K or a plain E? -

Actually the Sheridan is on the port wing of my Sea Fury. Godzilla got moved to the pile of open kit boxes. His tail kept getting in the way. For those keeping count (or trying to), here's everything on the bench: - ZM He219 - Academy CF-18 - Tamiya F4U1-A - Border Tiger 1 early - Minibase Su-33 - Special Hobby Whirlwind - Fisher Sea Fury - RFM Sheridan - ZM RF-4EJ - ZM F-4G - Hasegawa FW190A-5 Organized chaos.. -

You saw the pair of F-4s under the FW190 I take it. For me, I think it may be ADHD. Our youngest was diagnosed with it and after reading through the reports and of course his behaviour, there's a lot of similarities between us. I'll probably do a tidy up session once the Sheridan and FW are done and off the bench. Might even dig out the Sea Fury from under all the F-4 bits and get that done too. -

A nice amount of progress there Jeroen. -

Ralph, it's not a big kit but the detail is nice. Like all Bandai Star Wars kits, it's press fit. So no glue needed. I'll try to grab some pics of the parts in a bit.

Nice fix on the wing gap. At least it's on the underside so not as visible. I've used Bondic UV gel for instrument glass. I apply with a toothpick and then a UV flashlight to harden it. There's a Japanese brand Gaianotes that does one too that's even nicer but it can be hard to find.

I think maybe slightly more than that. I did get there underside painted though. Just need to do the yellow bits then a clear and stickers. -

Upper side base camo is on. At this point I noticed that I should have used RLM 70 and 71 for the scheme I'd planned (Yellow 5, JG26). So switch to Plan B, and Black 21, JG51 it is! -
The cockpit looks great John. What clear were you using on the instrument faces?

Yes, it's Hasegawa's A-5 kit. @Martinnfbhas been giving me advice on building it. -

I finally got some bench time and decided to try and make some progress on the FW190 sitting on my bench. I painted the coaming and added the gun sight as well as the canopy. I'm hoping to mount the canopy and start on the camo shortly. -

It looks like you're doing well with the PE zimmerit there Phil. Nostalgia builds can be a fun trip down memory lane. -
Here's what it says on the bottle: Compared to Mr Color Levelling Thinner, I think this won't affect the shelf life of the paint as much if at all. You could use Levelling Thinner to do the same but it may reduce the shelf life of the paint.

Rob, that's a great price for the Abarth. I've thought of getting one of those but they haven't been that inexpensive. I have their big Delta in the stash but the Stratos is my favourite rally car. I really should finish the Doyusha one in the stash before this comes out. -

Italeri is getting closer with their 1/12 Lancia Stratos. Pic of the test build. Needless to say I can't wait for this.
