Updated my LRDG/Tier One Operator diorama...thinking of naming it "Ghosts in the Desert".

Also nearly finished the Academy Huckebein for a review...

Great production line Mike...looking very good

Luiz.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Looking great Mike! I really love the looks of both!

Tamiya 'Easy 8' and Academy M51 wandering around my bench, dressed in their best 'grey primer'. Just getting them to the point where they're ready to paint (not yet) then will start a couple of 'in progress threads'. Won't be for a few weeks as I've got decals on the way for the M4 and won't commit to painting or even prepping for paint until I know how it's going to look with the markings in place.

AFN

Gotta love those Shermans! Although I have never built one, I've always been a fan of the Isherman. Looking at it compared with a normal 76mm Sherman, I'm surprised at how long the barrel is. Wow, that is a loooooong barrel

Great looking Shermans Ian!You've been doing exceptional work here.

As for me, there is finally less on the workbench for the first time in awhile. I managed to finish a few up and will hopefully find time to post them soon. Meanwhile, I will continue to work on a few more to bring them over the finish line since they are so close.

Stay tuned, more to come.

Thank you Bob... you're right about the Isherman barrel, wouldn't look out of place on a Kidd Class destroyer in my view !!

A little bit of everything, working on the horsecart for my swedish dio, driver and a passenger being built.

Also working on the Centaur from Masterbox, added some more hair because it looked strange with those empty spaces.

 

[Gator]

Looking great guys. Nothing on the bench here today. I cleaned the interior of my truck and got the headlight covers cleaned.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Nice Kenny, it is always helpful getting things like that done.

I started four new kits, moved forward on a shelf queen that I found and brought three more closer to the finish line. Updates coming soon.

 

[Jeeves]

Been working on this beastie over the weekend before I head back to jail...errr school...tomorrow.

1/24th scale P-47 kit? How does it look Mike? The engine is rather impressive.

 

[Jeeves]

It's a beauty of a kit. The instructions leave a lot to be desired, but it's easy to adapt. Cockpit detail is pretty nice- but at that scale, placards would really make it pop. I.ordered some and will add them after I've taken pics for oob. The two wings allow for the gun bays to be open with one side giving the detail of the .50 caliber trays.

Fit so far seems pretty good...
