Been working on giving the vinyl tracks on my m113 a bit of a sag with some wire.

Also been dusting up my stryker.

Working on my Meng Merkava, got one side done with the indies,and about 1/3 of the other.Suspension is done, and working on roadwheels

Trying to finish my modified Native Dancer scoiut vehicle, my Moon landing diorama kit I'm naming, Huston, we have a problem (You will see why when it's finished.), and my Starduster space scaft from the Space Amgel series.  I might also try to get my Battletech Timber Wolf from clan Blood Spirit. All trying to get done for Modelpalooza this October.  Busy times in the garage.

Made a litle easier since I haven't had a job since last March.

 Cleaning the canopy sill on the f16

Bending and painting photo etch parts for the Su-25M1 cockpit today.

Monogram 1/48 HE-111 nearing completion..

I'm just finishing a Meng model of the 1/35 Panther ausf A.  I'm at the Zimmerit stage now, I will be using their decals, otherwise OTB.  Just for fun, I'm also doing a Hasegawa Bf-109 G 14, 1/48 scale, also OTB.  I'm back in the grove of building again after a 2 month status of off and on modeling. 

I would have missed the thread first time round, i wasn't building in 2007, i didn't get back into it and the forum until the following year. I like these threads as well, you get to see a good mix.

Nice selection of ground equipment there carlos. All 48th i am guessing.

And nice idea for a thread, glad you revived this one.

 

Yes, it's all 1/48 stuff Bish. And these "catch all" type threads are enjoyable. It was funny going back to see my first post in here from years ago. I've actually finished most of the builds that I listed as sidelined from back then. But not quite all...

Yeah, this is a zombie thread, but it seems like a good concept to revive! But there is a thread like this on another site where I'm active, so let's bring this one back to life...

So midweek I did a marathon airbrushing session in the afternoon. The main purpose was to get the base color down for my M47’s power pack area, but I figured since I was airbrushing, why not do some other things as well. After our last Zoom meeting where I pulled out the Pro Modeler WWII airfield accessories kit, I decided to finish up the base painting on the items needing that, plus some Jerry cans and POL drums from the Tamiya accessories set that I purchased awhile back, as well as some more modern ESCI stuff.

Luftwaffe service cart, bomb cart, POL drums & Jerry cans... still need to do detail painting and such on most items

RAF starter cart and fuel cart

USAAF Clarktor tugs & bomb carts

ESCI Ford tractor, MJ-1 loader, bomb cart and aircraft tow bar

I think that it will be fun to weather them all to show all the work that they do on the flight line and ramp areas.

Currently boucing between a Revell 1:196 Constitution and a Mamoli wooden La Goleta schooner.

Well Durr, since you asked:

Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf H   -   65%

Italeri M4A1 Sherman   -   60%

Dragon King Tiger (Ardennes)   -   35%  (for Panzer Aces GB)

Italeri M47 Patton   -   25%  (for Italeri GB Part 2)

I've been waiting til it warms up to do any airbrushing in my garage, that's why a couple have no paint yet.  I figure I'll do em all together in one mass painting session!!

Armor...its what I do

Thanks for asking!!

Right now I'm trying to finish my third 1/48 Aurora MBT70 in as many years in time for May's Shizuoka Hobby Show. Just doing it OOB, to display with the first two I built (one is an earlier release of the kit, the other is a super-detailed "accurized" model, which was actually the first one I built). Special thanks to Rob for two of those babies!
