Been a couple of weeks! Should have several things rolling through the pipeline here soon, though. Got a small scale armor piece I hope to wrap up tonight. Pretty heavy on the gundams lately. That's not likely to change much any time soon! Space Portanova from 30 Minute Missions:  RX-93, the entry grade kit:  |

I'm not "into" Gundams, but you do beautiful work Marc! Thanks Matt! It's definitely a bit of a "niche" subject. The kits are great, though, and are a crazy-cheap (and fast) method of practicing armor weathering techniques on.  |

The Gundams look great! They're addicting.

Hey, thanks guys! Been a bit of a struggle to get any meaningful bench time for the past couple of weeks...trying to keep the ball rolling. It's winter, which is when I SHOULD be getting tons of bench time. Hasn't worked out as well as I'd like. Next up! 3" Bandai Star Destroyer - picked two up, one for me and one for my boy. Did a base coat of white and some Tamiya panel line wash...that's it. Quickie.  1/72 Dragon Sd.Kfz.263 - this one was a lot more involved. Did a lot of the detail work with pencils, trying to see how well that translates in small scale. I like it. I need to get a proper camera setup going...my phone isn't cutting it as far as representing detail I see with my eye.  |

You can blame model contests and forums for me expanding into all of the different genres. This thread (and the resurrection of MSC!) have done wonders for my completion motivation. |

Good looking Star Destroyer and Acht Rad! Those Bandai Star Wars kits are great for a quickie project!

I’ve been having the same problem! Normally this would be when I could turn in good time at the bench all the time and summer I’d have to slow down. Not this year. More great looking builds here. Love them both. Star destroyer looks just right

You have a wide range of builds you turn out. Do you spin a wheel to decide what's next like wheel of fortune? I really like the Sd.Kfz.263 recon vehicle!

Love them both. Star destroyer looks just right It's starting to bug me. I should have buckets of free time right now, but it just isn't working out. So the choice is, spend time perusing forum, or time at the bench...unfortunately I have to opt for the bench right now. Ugh. |

Alright! Another one I'm calling done. A superb little kit from Dragon...I'm a big fan of their 1/72 T-34 series. The only thing I might improve on is the reliability of the DS tracks. Sometimes they're great, sometimes not.  And as part of the ongoing collection. I think I have three variants left, and need to track down one more OOP boxing:  |
