WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Started on the Tamiya 1/350 Yamato, the mould is from 1973. The plan is to build it out of the box with just an aftermarket wood deck. Started working on the hanger deck crane and hanger deck doors.

Geoff - masking and painting on the Martin Mars waterbomber, the Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and shuttle and a 1/48 V2, but just starting a 1/48 XF-85 Goblin.

 

Terry - A lot of work done these past two weeks, since Toshi is getting me up around 5:15. The Regult is getting decals and detail painting. The XP-47H is now in dull coat with some pastel work. I hope to have it finished the week after Wonderfest. I’m starting to paint the Yamato Dreadnaughts, with some fresh AV Game Air paints. Also, since I’ll be painting red I’ve started putting paint on a Crusher Joe Harpy fighter which has been awaiting paint for the better part of a year. Productivity!

WHAT WE ARE READING

Stuart - Same as before

 

Geoff - Finished Red November by W. Craig Reed. Good read about the submarine experiences during the Cold War. Started Operation Corporate by Martin Middlebrook - a history of the Falklands War. I don’t know a lot about that conflict, so this is quite interesting.

 

Terry - Still reading the same books. Travel and meetings have eaten into my lunch time.
