What's on the bench 2022

[Graeme C.]

Snow already Ian? I'm sitting in from of a roaring fire....

 

[Ian M]

It's the first snow of the season a bit earlier than normal I think yes. A good fire in the hearth or stove is one of the best forms of warmth.

 

[Mini Me]

I just had a feeling it was snowing somewhere else in the world!

 

[minitnkr]

A very bucolic view Ian.

 

[Ian M]

bucolic

I had to Google that one lol.
Thank you Sir.

Snow in western NY up to 80" today. I'm so glad we're 200+ miles south.

Paint work is done on this and now waiting for Decals, from my friend Gregg, at Small Scale Hobbies in Wisconsin. He is one of the larger shops that carries a huge inventory for those of us that like to build tiny things. So, in the mean time I've decided to do a tank trailer to drag along behind this little beast. Paul E. asked if I was going to replace the front bumper in my last post..........after looking at the original more than a few times, I went ahead with a retro fit bumper and winch.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Great stuff. Small but perfectly formed…..

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim....it's been a fun little side project for the "Tuskegee" Dio. ........still working on the Jeep, will post a "bench" pic. when its further along.

[Mini Me]

The cave is down to 60F and my hands don't work well anymore at that temp. so bench is now the dining table. Working some WWII German Preiser & ROCO infantry. Preiser/ROCO to the left & slightly larger ROCO to the right. These larger ROCO are limited to two item numbers. I use them at least a foot or two from "in scale" infantry.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice to see more restrained poses on figures Paul. More in keeping somehow

 

[Mini Me]

For all the great detail work they put into their later models, ROCO never upgraded their German Figs.......guess they left it up to Preiser. Too bad about the low temp. in the "Man Cave". There are some pretty efficient space heaters available, if only on a temporary basis, might be cost effective. Know what you mean about the stiff fingers in cool elements.......every thing I did as a younger mechanic has now come home to haunt me. Press on Sir they are looking good.

After mortal combat with CA & PE, on the bench is my hair, teeth, tears and nails!
