Hi guys , here is the place to share what you’re currently working on. As many I often work on multiple projects and for many of which I don’t open a building log. This way we can share with each others about our “ undocumented “ projects and be social about that. :) Cheers Martin

Paddy · August 24Aug 24

AJS 7R, 350cc single cylinder race bike from around 1959. So here we have a Protar model motorcycle. Founded in 1963 in Bologna by Tarquinio Provini, a famous motorcycle Grand Prix racer , they produced a wide range of motorcycle kits of the era and later branching into GP cars. Sold out to Italeri around 1970 the history gets sketchy. The original kits were multimedia featuring white metal and plastic parts. A lot of the cars were re released under the Italeri banner, but they were now all pl

1:32nd scale RAF RE.8

sandbaggeruk · Monday at 11:25 PM5 days

Hi all, As the Sopwith 2F.1 Camel is coming to a close, I've started researching the next build. The Wingnut Wings RAF RE.8 kit. I'm planning it to be a RE.8 of the 6me Escadrille, Belgian Aviation Militaire, at Houthem-lez-Furnes airfield in 1917. I have the Pheon decal set for the RE.8 which has the Belgian markings. The Pheon colour profiles have the aircrafts colour as very dark, almost black. However, other profiles of the same squadron show the colour to be closer to the RFC PC 10 or 12 f

Some recent health probs.

Belugawhaleman · Monday at 06:48 PM5 days

Well, I've had some set backs with my health in the past few weeks. I developed an infection in my left foot that spread with frightening rapidity and required surgery to remove it. I lost my big toe. I am, however, healing well, my blood sugar is back under control and things look positive. I hope to get back to my bench soon....but I have many appointments to take care of , both my own and my Mom's at this time. In the meantime I've enjoyed following your builds on this forum even from my hosp

FW190- ZM A-4 and a Revell A-8

FG2Si · May 25May 25

These were started a little while back. They then got lost on my bench while I worked on whatever had my fleeting attention. So, having finished the F-16 my bench is ready to get these done. The ZM kit is much further along with the cockpit done, fuselage closed up and the majority of the wings completed as well as the engine. The Revell one has the wings started, the fuselage halves together, and the engine mostly complete.

Jeroen Peters · May 4May 4

As the title states. There has been a pretty big hacker attack on numerous servers based in the UK. Our forum happened to be on one of them. As were our 2 back-up servers. Last Friday we were informed by our server host that all data has been deleted by the hackers. This means: our forum website all of our topics, builds and images and all of our member details / accounts We've worked hard over the past few days and did this: We bought a new license with a better, even more secure forum host

1/32 Westland Whirlwind with exposed engines

Jeroen Peters · May 3May 3

This build really was a looong journey. Most time went into researching the Rolls Royce Peregrine engines. Not much is known in terms of reference. Lots of help came from Gunnar Olsen who provided knowledge almost every step of the way. Making the flaps drop was another huge challenge. I opened the radio compartment, which in turn was a project in itself. And so on. No decals used. Lots of 3d designed and printed parts. Right down to the Norton bike, which is so delicate it printed about 20 of t

Did you get any new kit or other modelling related goodies today or recently? We all like so show our new stuff, so please share it with us. I know this is an odd scale, and the surface is a little questionable (!) but hey, who cares! Darren

DocRob · July 30Jul 30

I have been widely absent for a while for different reasons, one very obviously it is summertime, with lots of swimming, mountainbiking and doing things around the house, etc. Another reason is redecorating my workspace, selling unused woodworking machines and add desparately needed display shelves to my cave. Not so obvious, but to my own mystification, the forum situation with LSM and MSW crashed with all data and seemingly many members lost and to add to that the forming of Dry Dock Modeler

I’m building this with the help of my girlfriend’s 11-year-old son. He’s really into ships at the moment, and has been making his own paper and stacked-box ship “models” in the middle of my living room for the past few months.
He’s also done some good close-up detail work on some of his school projects. Hopefully this won’t be too large a step-up for him.
The one thing I both love and hate about the kit is the hull. Nicely detailed and well-cast, buuuuuttt the “casting block” is 1/8” of material the full length and width of the hull plus about a 1/16” flange.
So lots and lots of sanding 🤣🤦‍♂️🤣
One of those times I truly wish I had a milling machine and some decent end cutting bits

I ordered a couple of Decalcas 3D printed 1/12 chains today. this is another individual link system. they are slightly smaller than the MFH chain i built which is presenting problems as i cant get the assembled chain inside the chain guard . Unfortunately i have had to order from Spain as they dont seem to have a UK distributor

All three are rotating right now P-51 aerial and twu clear lights=done,Tamiya Tiger individual tracks and the ole Me-109 E Hasegawa paid $10 at a show.The 109 is OOB except the belts decided to go retro seeing how the modeling world now likes raised rivets actually it does not look bad at all to be honest.I think my mottling was just a tad heavy it is what it is at this point a quick fun build.

1:32nd scale RAF RE.8

Hi all,
I've been preparing the fuselage internals and cockpit parts.
Fuselage halves wood effect painted with Tamiya Dark Yellow (XF60).
Then Windsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Raw Sienna oil paint.
MRP Clear Doped Linen MRP-256 used for linen.
Alclad Duraluminium ALC102 used for metal panel area.
Flory Dark Dirt wash used to dirty up the surfaces.
Cockpit parts wood effect as before.
Tamiya acrylics used for painting all other detail.
AK Interactive Kerosene wash AK2039 used for fuel stains.
Clear UV resin used for instrument faces glass.
The pilots wicker seat is molded solid, so that will be replaced with a Barracuda Studios rean seat.
Now it's onto cleaning up for assembly and rigging the bracing wires and control cables,
Mike

What is on your bench right now?

Just opened this one up - it’s been sitting in the stash for years 🤣
This is a resin/photoetch kit that sort of completes the “story” of the Picket Boat I did wayyy back when. The CSS Albemarle was the Confederate Ironclad sunk by the USN Picket Boat 1 in October of 1864.
This isn’t a huge kit, but at 1/192 it has a lot of truly tiny bits to fiddle with - should be fun!

Great job with the chain😀 Using the parallel pliers was a great solution. A very interesting build so far.
Go ahead, feel smug, you've earned it!
