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.
