WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Finished a tiny model of a Gelvades Class Battle Carrier from Star Blazers 2199. Started 1 of two Bandai Cosmo Typhoon Fighters. These are very tiny, 1/200, but I love the look of them.
Geoff - continuing on the Heller 1/72 Douglas DC-6B in fictitious water bomber markings for my brother’s growing fleet.
Terry - Working on Fade To Black’s 1/10 Hammerhead Shark, finally. Assembly and filling. Painting a couple Reaper dragons, a forest dragon and a magma dragon. Still in airbrush stage now, but will be in brush painting before too much longer. Mechs are still in assembly, slow going is fine for these.
