Just to show that I am still bashing away at models, here are some images of current projects.
First is an almost completed Copper State Models 1/35 Lanchester armoured car. The crew figure is a mashup of Masterbox bits with a Hornet head and the Arab gentleman and camel are sourced from a Masterbox set. The Lanchester is a great kit and a real joy to make. Vehicle weathering is next.
Next is work in progress on the Wingnuts 1/32 Junkers D.1. It's OOB as my hands adjust to post carpal tunnel surgery and the impact of diabetic nerve damage. A Wingnuts Pfalz DXII and Sopwith Camel were both consigned to the spares bin before things settled down so the Junkers is important for morale reasons. A fantastic kit and I'm loving it. Ray Rimell's invaluable publication on building the Junkers kit is essential! It and the Wingnuts' outstanding instruction booklet give you everything you need to make this model.
I'm finding the many builds over on the Des Delatorre group build page to be very inspirational and I am in awe of the astonishing talents of so many of our members. Thank you all for your inspiration and sharing your model fun with us all.
