Eric’s Workbench~2026 (3.24.26update)

[errains]

After nearly a year away from the bench and into a new home I just want to start my 2026 year thread….a little proof of life.

I don't know man, that's a mighty clean work bench. I think this may be AI. Let's get some overspray and spilt pigments to make it look real!

Speaking of AI, I was blown away by this guy's modeling and started following his page, only to find out the whole scene is AI created
Congrats on the new workspace errains!

We always maintained that a clean desk was sign a person was not well . Hope you're OK Erick . Myself,I spent ll my time on the flight line . . .

I have to go through and straighten up mine periodically as it gets where I can't find anything and the workspace becomes the size of an index card. Kind of hard to work on a 1/16th scale half track on a space the size of an index card.

Here is a quick update from the ol bench. I have decided to focus on getting five "Shelf of Shame" Projects completed this year, which is a tall order but I'm going for it any how. I've done some work on each of these over the past month.

As always Thanks for stopping by!

Well, I don't think it's gonna take long to christen this bench, so I have faith it'll be all buggered up in no time, HA! Ruck On, Bby!

They are all so colorful! Be a shame to make them all drab looking.

 

[phantom II]

GO Erick ! Surely you have another bench that you actually work on .

 

[Rhino]

This is quite the assortment of tank-like substances! Jolly Good, that!

 

[Brokeneagle]

Excellent Line-up!
Can't wait for more progress!

The French tank is neat! So is the T-34/100!

So it been about a month, therefore time for a workbench update! The big news is I actually finished the building of the French B1 bis (captured). What an awesome kit. If your looking for a quick and easy pallet cleanser defiantly consider this one. I kept the modding to minimum with only the addition of the long range fuel tank from Blast Models.

While going through some of my boxes I came across a couple of other 'Shelf-of-Shame' builds that are really close to completion so I swapped out the T34/100 and The IDF Supersherman, I'll come back to them at a to-be-determined later time.

First is an Italeri/Tamiya Crusader III with an AFV Club(?) Roto-Trailer. Its closer to the finish line then it would appear.

The other is a what-if of a M20A1 Mortar Carrier pulling a liberated enemy flack trailer. As you can see this one is even closer to the Finish line.

Lastly is a bit a track work on a Tamiya T-55. While not strictly a 'Shelf-of-Shame' it is a restarted build...so it kind of fits. This will an Afghanistan Diorama. The tracks are from Takom and were super easy to use...so a thumbs up on that...

As always Thanks for stopping in for a look-see and feel free to leave a comment.

Nice looking work here. I've waitng for a great priced B1 myself, I'll land it one day.

 

[Sharkmouth]

Tracks seem fragile on the T-55...

Thanks Sir. I agree them B1s are bit on the steep side for sure.

Yeah I sure seem that way. It shouldn't be a huge factor considering the Dio I gotz planned.
