That's very impressive!!
I keep looking at that draw storage idea but I think my wife would not approve given that I model in our kitchen..... :thinking:I haven't been posting anything for some months as my focus was on other issues and, last but not least, my bench average temperature during winter is 6/7 °C (44 °F), which is definitely outside my comfort zone.
But I haven't been totally idle and thanks to Warren's idea (LINK HERE) I made a paint drawer for my bench
While attending to other house chores, I managed to inch forward on this small build, a 1/72 RE 2005 just to keep in touch with plastic and glue.
and had my old hi-fi system working again (in the end it was an amplifier problem, solved by having the equalizers - the 3 empty slots are visible on the left of the ampli - removed by a specialist).
Last but not least, even if not directly related to my bench, I'm planning to attend to the following show in the near future (how could I miss it! :smiling

Yet again great work Paul. Very well done indeed!!
Bridge platoon's Tross element.
My mistake it was actually 192 parts to make up the plugs and leads! Coming off the bench for a while for a wingy GB.
It doesn't matter how parts Mark, the engine is a work of art Buddy!!! Who's colors did you use for the brass and copper and did you spray them??? They look so real and smooth too...

That looks like it would run …
Cheers guys,
Allen ive used vallejo metal for the aluminium, mr hobby aqueous, black,red and the brass is just a mr hobby gold gloss although they do a brass metal colour paint in the mr color laquer range and the copper is mr color super metallic 2 and sprays very nicely in fact on that basis i have ordered a load of mr color for my wingy gb build.
I have some tubes of ak true metal brass and copper i will go over with and polish .
That's amazing!!
Fantastic work Mark. That just looks fantastic.
Thanks chaps :smiling:
Well, Mark. You showed us your reference pictures... when will you post the pictures of your model? :smiling4: :rolling: :tongue-out2:
This is where the rest is at right now,chassis 95% built and just started adding a few llittle dents to the body
Trying to shift some shelf queens, this one has been around for a while.
Whenever my mojo flags I turn to "....those damned engineers....". They never fail to perk me up. Here are WIP engineer elements. An M2 Treadway platoon, elements of a Dora Bridge platoon, & elements of Baily & Footbridge platoons.
Potentials on the bench.
The gap here is for the potential Baily bridge elements currently on the bench.

Those damn engineers Paul!!! Great looking stuff and the bench looks even better Buddy. Lucky I was a 12B and not a 12C bridge specialist. Those bridge parts weighed a ton when you had to play with them...
