What's on the Bench? 2021

[Graeme C.]

I know a lot of people on here don't post their builds, but how about showing what you're building?
My current build, a Dragon Panzer IV/70(A), a bit of an old kit, the camouflage is a work in progress.

An excellent idea Graeme and something I think is lacking on the forum. When you don't want to commit to a full on build log, but have a picture or two that you'd like to share.

Great looking camo to start us off too!

Nice work Graeme and a good idea for a thread.
Always interesting to see what other are up to behind the front line

Mine is my first bit of Russian armour - Tamiya's T34/76

Nice camo work there Graeme. Sorry forgot to post this earlier.

On my bench I have .a KV-2.

 

[Ian M]

Just dust on mine.

Graeme. I agree what a great idea and just in time. This is on my bench this morning but it’s about to move to the layout after I put the air horns on. I’m finally getting my mojo back to scratch build.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Graeme. Nice Camo

Steve. I like that tail section shot great weathering.

I've been practicing my freehand camo, and early days on a Warhammer figure that was a pressie from my lad.

Now it’s off the bench.

Well I thought I would finish up another one tonight. This is a Revell Kenworth with Don Mills wheels. I added a scratch built stack and gear shifts (4x4). The wheels and Cab lights were painted with a Chrome Pen. I’ll add the turn signals tomorrow.Then it will be added to the Layout Roster

I like this idea.....
I don’t blog most of what I do because you would all soon get bored of me saying “then I painted this bit...”

Four games workshop ghost like creatures......first time I’ve painted anything in oils for about twenty years LOL....some of the transitions are a bit stark, but the overall effect is there. They were painted last weekend then left for a week to dry, and have now been Matt varnished so I can complete the base detail in acrylic.....that will be next weeks task......


Nest up, nearly finished four wild animals for Frostgrave. All they need is tuft dressing and snow. They are whitemetal from North Star and were painted while the ghosts dried.....


last up, some early days on five Warg scout riders for Oathmark (my next long term project). These are 28mm plastics again from North Star. Not over keen on the warg sculpts. The heads are good, but the rest is a little strange! They were prepped and primed over the last couple of weeks in between other jobs.

Anyway, keep building all, and enjoy your bench time...

I'm currently working on Tamiya's venerable Churchill Mk iiv, with a few bits of scratchbuilt stowage..
nothing much to post other than it's a typical Tamiya kit in that it almost falls together,
the hardest part so far is trying to nail down colours for the tank crew.. is it Khaki or is it Flat earth...lol

I have the Revell 1/72nd Junkers Ju88 A-1 on the go. Going well so far, although the instructions mention the decal for the main instrument panel, but not a couple of others and those for the seat belts.
