That engine looks most excellent Mark. As Rick says, looks real…..
Mark,
Looking very nice indeed.

What an incredible machine!
Wow now that is nice.

Working light bridging platoon. Thought I'd give you an idea of typical loadout including 16 planks & two ramp sections already loaded.
Yes, Rick, circus trailers I think. Second squad.
Something else for my lad, Games Workshop Squig Hoppers.
They were pretty unstable so I've CA'd some Liquid Gravity into the bases

Not a games workshop fanboy, but I do like these. They always make me smile….Might be cheaper to just glue in a 2p piece or a suitable washer rather than use liquid gravity though. Also means they stick to magnetic sheet for storage…..
Yes, I have a box of suitably sized washers at work but you know teenagers - it had to be done now :rolling:
Didn't use much LG to be fair.
He's moving more to the Age of Sigmar stuff as he prefers the figures to 40k

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

That's a great way to store and organise, Andrea. Definitely worth doing.
Loving the paint storage!
I used to have that Marantz amp, with the matching tuner and cassette deck. Chucked out when SWMBO decided it was taking up too much space. I gather they're 'collectable' now. The amp did have a habit of blowing output transistors, easily fixed by replacing them.

3rd squad.
1st Squad armor & sturmboot. This MkIII has an interesting backstory. A pioneer officer thought it was a good idea to modify some old MKIIIs to hump bridge materials for an Ost front river crossing mission. Afterwards, upper was not impressed & ordered them restored. This one's paperwork was lost.
Trucked 1st squad.

That can easily be arranged !That tank is HUGE......just jumping from an Opel Blitz truck to the Junky JU52 I just finished was a giant step in scale! Never mind going into a larger scale.....for me it would be Traumatic!! :tongue-out3: Probably need Matron to put me right....

Mark.
Stunning work on that engine, Wow !!!
Brilliant work on the drawer system Andrea.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.
