Re: What's on your work bench atm ?
It's always good to see an old Verlinden product finding its way into a project. It's old but still good stuff.

Yes, I do have a soft spot for Verlinden products. They were the first AM stuff that I really started picking up. They are perfect for 32nd scale kits and older overscale Tamiya kits.

Nice work on the figures Bruce, and well done Carlos on that Verlinden one.
I'm hoping to get more models off the workbench and onto the shelf; including that partridge!
Stay tuned, more to come.

Got me a cheap acrylic rack for my MRP and Alclad bottles. It's originally a nail polish display and costs only 17€ ($20) incl. ship.

It found its place right next to my magnetic board above the right side of my workbench. The board is a great idea which I stole from another modeler. My instructions were always burried under parts, subassemblies, paints, glues and whatnot. Every time I had to turn a page I had to move half of my inventory. But those times are over now.

Sine the original Thread won't load anymore due to the following "General Error":
"SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
MySQL server has gone away [2006]
An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists".
I'm re-starting this here. That means Mostrich, your most recent reply to the original Thread won't ever be seen, unless you post it here. I tried four times to load the original and it constantly came up with that error message.
So, to quote Mostrich in his original Thread:
"Writing a build thread is a time-consuming thing and can cost you a great amount of your modeling time, so many of us skip that aspect of our hobby.
As an alternative, this is the space where you can leave one or two pictures of your actual project and its progress', just for showing off or for getting some advice from your SPAM dudebros."
Next, I'll post what I got going at the start of the New Year.

Re: What's on your work bench atm? Redux
This is what's on my workbench at the moment. The C-118 is finished already, but everything else pictured here in these shots is still under construction:







All the progress on these can be seen in my latest Maddog Manufacturing Thread which should be updated again in a few days.
Now, let's see what's on all your workbenches....

On the workbench side, I have parts of the Phantom awaiting the cockpit, the Y-wing fuselage about to get a dark wash, and beside me a dog wanting the food I have.

On the paint side, I have Phantom parts that were painted black and some that were flat coated. There's some Y-wing parts that had been painted as well.

Excellent! What a beautiful puppy too! My cats occasionally come in to keep me company, and sometimes my boy Sylvester will inspect my work and approve of it. Keep it coming man!
