Impressive!  
When I built my F-35 last year I did a really impressive bronze finish on the exhaust.  For the life of me, I cannot remember how I did it.  Damned old age kicking in.

It's a Bandai Gouf Custom. Same kit that I built recently.

Looks like Martin has followed me down the rabbit hole known as Gunpla.

Looks cool Martin, isn´t it fun to leave the comfort zone sometimes.

Cheers Rob

Thank you Rob. Absolutely agreed, it is tons of fun. I’ve been on it for a couple of days, not exactly sure about the final placement. At first I was planning to place it as a derelict of war rotting at the bottom of a forest creek bed, second scenario would be an overhaul at the service depot bay and finally a monument of war in a park like settings with kids playing around. The last one appeals to me a lot. I might go that route, just need to do some clean up and detailing which would be required for such setting. 
nevertheless I am ever so thankful to Carl for his immense help, he’s been such a gem of a friend, guiding me along.

Rust effects look really cool Martin.

The other 1/72 109 I was working on around Christmas.  G-10. I realized I would never get both done in time, so it got sidelined. Until now.

And it has another sister. Because these are actually quite fun to build. Another F-2

A tiny bit of work on the Magach. I glued the return rollers and some other random stray parts on after having watched them float around my spray booth for the last while. 

At least this way I won't lose them. 

[Martinnfb]

That looks really promising. 

[Martinnfb]

I spent at least six hours over this beast and it feels like nothing changed

I'm 0 for 3 on building an M60 family of tank kits. This try #4 so hopefully I make it to the end.

I see lots of progress compared to the pics you showed me earlier. But yeah, sometimes it feels like you're not getting anywhere.

What's new on my bench is a lot less of a mess. Spring time, so I took the opportunity to buy a new shelf from Ikea and move a bunch of stuff up onto it to free up some bench space.

Now that's quite a workshop, I love the idea of storing the sprues.

Very organized. I also have a similar magnifying lamp. an absolute must for working smaller scale👍.
