                        Matthew,

                        That is one sweet looking Enterprise!

                        As for what is on my bench...for starters, wood shavings and various bits of electical wiring and box pieces where I am running new electric in the "workroom". The models that are setting there are...1967 Mustang fastback, 1932 Ford Tudor, Enterprise B, I think the DC-3 is a "minicraft 1/144" but I am not sure exactly, I also have 8 miniatures to paint. The miniatures are all basecoated and ready for the real overcoat of paint. I have 1 elf thief, 2 barbarians, and 5 knights/fighters to paint.

                        Jerry

                        I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it. -Jack Handy

                        Mainly dust, but under that is a 1/72 Encore Mig-3(just needs final touches), a 1/72 RVF Saunder Roe SR A/1, a 1/72 Monogram F7F-3 that will be back dated to a NMF prototype(I'm on the fence about this one as it's a 1968 edition and I need to find a newer issue of it before I build this one), and last of all is a 1/72 Modelland SAI-403 "Dardo". This last one is giving me fits as the V-12 is aircooled and highly visable from the front.It's a vac and there is no provided engine.Sad [:(] If anyone can provide some good photos, I'd be grateful.Confused [%-)]

                        I can't believe how many open projects every one has going at one time. I dont' think my 'bench' could hold more than one project at a time :( and I know my brain couldn't handle more than one open project ;-))

                        Anyway, my current project is the Revell EJ10 Jordan Mugen-Honda Formula One car. It's still in the early stages. Coming off a modeling hiatus, think I should have started with something a bit easier. But I'll see how it goes...

                        On my bench?
                        This computer, a stereo, short wave radio, reference books, some ship parts, some other ship parts, some more ship parts, parts of a ship ...

                        Need a bigger bench.

                        I just finished Tamiya's 1/24 Porsche 911 GT3 today. Tomorrow I start Tamiya's 1/24 Enzo Ferrari. Other than that my bench is clear.

                        My wife doesn't know what to think at this point. I actually finished my Abrams, and am almost finished with my 1/48 Hasegawa J7W1 Shinden. Both in the same day! I think it's a new record for me.

                        Just finished mpm's AR 196. Man it was a mean kit( everything had to re made) but the end result is worthwhile as soon when my brother gets here with his digital camera I will try to post some pictures. Right now on my workbench is just thesm 79 from trumpeter in wich a complete scratchbuild interior( also the rear tubelar structure). It is just one kit but it will occupy me for a rather long time


                        cheers
