On the bench as well is my USS Constipation...34 years and still chugging along.

Nice one Centurion! :thumb2:
Looks great Rick, way to go.
Looks excellent Rick. Nice job.
Almost ready for decals. Don't like how seats came out on Corbit. Will change.
A box has been opened, new blades in the Swann's, sprue cutters sharpened.
Plastic has been cut and glue used in anger for the first time in a very long time.
Not going to log the building but will post when it's done. I just want to get my fingers going again and see what happens.
"What's the model?" I hear you all ask.....
Revelle 1/72 u-boat .....
Ian, this makes into a great boat.
Please be very careful when cutting the guard rails off the sprues.....Even when the cutters are nice and newly sharpened.

Wow, there are some really great works going on your benches' lately. At my table (don't have a bench), I've been trying out a dark art to me.........Figgie painting........
Lutz, the headless loader has gotten his winter coat on,
Still need to dirty him up a bit and finish his head. Second try on his face and he might just remain headless because I'm lousy at it. I'll keep plugging away though. Have to paint his gloves too..............

Allen (no clue and still not Ret.)

Wrap his face in a scarf. He's out in the wind chill.
Got the Skippers Gig scratched and the other boat from spares done.
Painted up the windows and touched up where I could. Everything is misaligned.
Despite the difficulty it was quite fun.

Fixed seats & started decals.
Cannon Co. half section completed.

I'm doing the bases for a unit of Cave Dweller Savages.
These have been painted black, dressed with three grades of grit and some GW Stirland Mud (texture paint). Then I've painted everything white - apart from the figure recesses and base sides. Here's partway through painting in the white.
After that I add some green, brown and black using diluted Vallejo Game Inks. It looks a right mess.
But then, one of those lovely, transformational steps. I painted in all the flat or nearly flat surfaces in brown.. It took just a couple of hours, but afterwards the bases were transformed. Suddenly the rocks just start to look a bit more real. The ink covered up by the brown makes the ink left behind look like stone, rather than the nasty mess it did just a couple of hours earlier.
I love the switch that models make, when they first flip from being just a bunch of plastic and glue (and grit, in this instance) to starting to look 'real'. It can be early on in a build, or right near the end. Some models do it again and again as the build progresses. And I get a real buzz wwhen it happens.

Some great castings. Will be impressive.
