Apologies to any ZZ Top fans. 

Legs are now on Godzilla.

Time for something else to clutter the bench. 

I started this a while back, I think when @Peterpools was working on his. I decided to see how far along I was and maybe try to make some progress. on it. It won't be anywhere near the masterpiece that Jeroen is building but I'm liking it so far.

I wonder, if the Whirlwind got some Godzilla legs as UC or some catio parts added . How do you keep track of all your started builds, Carl?

Cheers Rob

Just for a giggle Carl, count up how many “in progress” builds……..if I remember when we did the Get Wet GB you had a very nice Vosper MTB…….

TBH I'm a fellow sufferer of Squirrel Syndrome ....Takom Chieftain , the Lightning from the Twins GB , a 1/32 Typhoon from some TOP GB, plus a host of stuff bought in wild enthusiasm/on the cheap for an idea/project that I'll probably sell on again in 18 months. Thats before we get sidetracked by cars or motorbikes ...

To be honest, I think it's sometimes pure luck. I keep a bunch of plastic tubs that they package produce in and they're handy for keeping parts together.  The different coloured plastic also helps.

Probably about 1/3 of my stash is started in some way. Makes for terrible re-sale potential, but that's not what I buy kits.

I still have the Vosper to get back to.

That sums up a large part of my stash as well.

I currently have five kits that I have started that are in limbo at the moment....

Two only need painting, so not to bad. Others, like the Amusing hobby

Fv4005 still need minor work...then painting....I just lost interest in that one.

I recently started A Tamiya M8 greyhound that I need to get back to...Not

much needed on that one. Carl, I admire your ability to keep so many

projects going....very impressive.

I remember vividly the Eliminator album coming out. The line in Legs about 'She's got hair, down to her fanny' caused much amusement amongst myself and my immature group of young teenage friends as fanny is slang for something rather different in the UK.

Nice to see the Whirlwind back on the back and underway again

Nice looking front office - weathering is spot on the money.

Nice checkerboard. Not an easy thing to pull off cleanly.

[Peterpools]

PW, nice checkerboard Jug cowl. ON one of my last few Jugs, I went with the same checkerboard (Tamiya) and the fit was near perfect.

Egg hornet. Not my best work. I usually don't build planes. My work colleague asked me to build this. Speed build (3 days).

If there was one, I couldn't see any reason why not. I think if we just made it an Egg/Chibi mini group build that would encompass everything. 

Just in case, Chibi is Japanese for cute so any of the deformed, 'toon or egg shaped models would be work.

Something new. BBQ duck wings.

She didn't but Jimmy certainly gave it a try.

Calling this done. Will post some more pics in the completed section.
