WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Work continues on the 1/350 Yamato. Starting to test fit the deck to the main hull. Sand a bit, blow off the soft plastic, test fit and repeat. Very zen like

Pick up 2 newer Tamiya colours that replace TS spray cans for this build.

Geoff - Worked on the Special Hobby 1/48 XF 85 Goblin. A bit of a challenge… Also managed to get my chainsaw mill working on some logs that have been drying for a few years, and did a lot of outdoor chores!

Terry - Working on those EDF Dreadnaughts, they will have some challenging paint schemes, and I’m trying something new - a complimentary color basing on the Mars ship. XP-47H is moving along, I really want to get this finished. Otherwise, figuring out what other half-finished projects need attention.

Chris - 22 inch Eagle from Space 1999, I also have Eagle 2. Which do I make the rescue eagle.
