Do that in your lunch break, right? 

Well considering I’m on a permanent one at the moment...

 

And of course remember ‘Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so’

The wight got its fourth wing and a rough coat of paint. The Sopwith is now a triplane and the Stuka has been masked for its first camo colour. The DII has also been moved to the table and a better engine found in the spares box.

The Stuka got masked for the grey camo. Masking each colour so as not to loose the preshading.

49842104587_dafe29f956_c.jpg

Grey on.

49842105167_cbf01071cf_c.jpg

The Albatros got some legs. The wight and the triplane got a coat of PC10.

 

since I had the airbrush out I also primed the Ta154 and the Polikarpov (My next two builds once the wip is a bit smaller)

49947758088_c2c1dc15e2_c.jpg

The CIX almost has its wings.
 

Currently working to finish the Stuka and the Triplane. Might have a go at molding the fuselage for the Campini as well. 
 

As you’ve probably realised i like to have many builds on the go and progress each depending on what type of work I’m in the mood for.

Started the Seabee, by making a silicone mold of the fuselage preparatory to molding a clear canopy,

 

50072011587_9aef8d8951_c.jpg

Painted the T55a, Syrian army btw.

 

50061479913_f01e86f79e_c.jpg

Finally finished the Stuka

 

50073200402_abcc443ca0_c.jpg
The study is now repainted a rather nice battleship grey and my work bench cleaned, painted and reorganised, so that it is now unnaturally tidy. The T55a can be seen on the bench. I will try to maintain this level if neatness, of course I haven’t a hope, but you have to have goals.

Am i the only one who has never had more than one model on the go ? 🙂

Well, I have about ten. Means I can do a bit of whatever suits my mood at s as my time is, building, molding painting etc, it’s also why I build armour as well as aircraft. Now I do generally finish them too, there are lots of serial starters out there :)

Nice Tripehound Marklo, that big vac formed bird looks interesting. Did you mold it yourself? 

 

Some great subjects in the stash.

Believe it or not that’s a Glencoe injection molded Seabee, apparently some editions are molded in clear styrene, but not mine.

Some interesting builds there Marklo great work, I do like the SeaBee too but, great scratch building work going on too. Bench looks good to, how long will it stay tidy though???

The tanks look great too.

All the best

Chris
