WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Finished the 1/24 Land Rover LWB and also started and finished a MaK Nutrocker in 1/76. Simple yet cool looking kit. Now starting a Trumpeter 1/48 Westland Whirlwind.

[foogallery id="3893"]

Geoff - still plugging away at the Arado Amerika bomber project, but for a change of pace I pulled a tiny 1/72 Polish sport plane kit from the pile. An old kit from the Soviet era, but not too bad for detail, and very simple.

Terry - Getting close to done on the Moosaroo entry. Lighting tests with the subject in the box, some slight tweaks to get things just right and I should be taking photos this weekend. I have some work travel this week, so I may not get any more done until then. One layer of dullcoat on the Phalanx, it needs another but it’s been very cold in the garage.

WHAT WE ARE READING

Stuart - Working my way through Stephen Baxter’s Short story collection called Traces.

Geoff- plowing through a collection of “After the Battle” magazines - lots of interesting stories!

Terry - Same as before, about 80 percent through Titan. Quite a ride, this book. I am eyeing an Osprey book on Troy, which has been sitting on the shelf for a while.

THINGS WE’VE SEEN

Chris Meddings’ single-piece 3D printed P-47 engine with mountings. Painting a single-piece radial engine seems a challenge.

Hands-on review of ICM’s B-26.
