Modelcrazy's bench WIP 2020

This idea is on the SPAM site and I thought it was a great idea. Since I somethimes don’t keep up with my own WIP posts, this is to consolidate all the builds on the bench inst one thread. Since the builds are not just one subject, I’m putting the thread in this forum if it’s OK with the moderators and FSM.

Most of you know what I’m working on, some don’t and some builds haven’t been touched in a while. I’ll continue to post in the GB’s I’m in and host, but put everthing in here as a contenious WIP thread.

So here it goes. These are the latest uploaded pictures. Currently I’m finishing the Perry, Spruance, Nick and currectly in progress on the MO and A7. The Prince is on slight hold but will get back on the bench shortly. I’m going to start the AT-ST very soon for an upcoming contest.

Oliver Hazard Perry

Spruance

North Carolina

Ki-45 Nick (captured)

Space Battleship MO.

A7-A

Prince of Wales

And the AT-ST

Let me know what you think.

If I ever decide to create water as a base I hope it looks half as good as yours.

Thanks Greg, The Spruance’s water base is still in progress, the Perry is complete except for the crew, helo and small boat.

This is a neat idea Steve!

Geez Steve, do you have time to sleep? Man that is an impressive lineup.[B]

That’s a lot going on,and some nice work.

[Y]

Holy cow, I get confused when I have one going on. [:O]

And I agree with other Greg, I’m jealous of your water.

Thanks guys, do I have time to sleep…no.

I did some work to the Spruance water. I added the first coat of acrylic varnish and the first of the cotton. The bow splash still needs a bit of work but will be more spray than white water so will go on last.

As far as the Perry, I’m painting the crew and need to spray the helo and RHIB.

the AT-ST has been opened and I’m thinking of ideas. Either abandoned standing up due to damage or laying down totaly destroyed I know I want a water enviroment for the landscape. Lying or standing in shallow water so I can weather it a lot.

Started on the superstructure and guns. The guns are not glued yet and I want to do a lot more to the super.

Also started on the AT-ST. Leg blown off and collapsed.

Some more work on the MO last night. I decided to make the forward blisters nutron pulse guns and the bow barrel a sonic wave gun. Of course sanding and filling is in order.

Care to share some of that energy? If I manage one hour working on something a week it’s a good day.

You are doing some really nice work. The water effects look great.

Thanks Greysnake.

I wish I had more than I do.

Steve that looks like something straight out of an early 80s Japanese cartoon!

You know it’s your fault Chad

Lol, guilty! [:D]

Well, after some more work, I think I’m finally done adding and buttoned her up. Guns on, as well as the antennas. I think I’m going to paint her black and red with the black having a star field. The “camo” will be a MS 32 18D pattern like North Carolina using the black and red. I’m not sure I’ll paint any red on the superstructure but I’ll see how dark it is. Anyway, her she is just finished, then with the black.

Cool

Well,Well;

Now I gotta say that one ship looks like it is going to hit heavy weather! Nice looking bunch of models. By the way I am reading " Sun King" ( It’s part of the " Queen of the Void" Trilogy) They’ve got A starcruiser in there that Kicks Butt and then takes names . She’s got a hangar full of small craft that does the same. Now that you know.

I have to ask, Where you put the " Pummel Guns," MK.43 Torps and the Pulse cannons? Can you still do a full broadside if you roll to port or starboard? I am going to have fun here.
