WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - More work done on the Moosaroo cup. This is proving to be quite a challenging kit and requires quite a bit of planning, due to its small size and finding a logical way forward. For example, the cab consists of quite a few parts, several of these will need to be assembled, primed and painted first before attaching them to the rest of the kit.
Also working on some Battletech Mini’s, trying a new technique called slapchop.

Geoff - lots of reorganizing the hobby room to get a display cabinet installed (removed from the dining room) and make the reference materials more accessible. In the process of creating an index I found a good article on the Handley Page 0/400, so I started work on the old (1968) Airfix kit. Lots of work to get the wing “ribs” to scale (the kit molding had 2x4’s as ribbing tape!) but it’s not a bad kit once that’s fixed.

Terry - Some work on the Aldrin class, I need to do a bit more on that as well. While in Cincinnati I built a little shelf cabinet unit for some 3D printed paint racks for the Pro Acryl sets. It’s a bit tight, I may need to do some filing or have them printed 10% bigger.
