Maybe you don’t have a build work in progress thread or happen to be participating in any group build threads where you are posting photos of your current build. Or maybe you do, but only lurkers look and leave, saying nothing. Put a photo or two up here if you feel so inclined.
A model 1/72 vac form Blohm &Voss BV222 Viking . 
Working on this Yamaha yzr500. It’s an older Tamiya kit (1984) and fighting me a bit.
Comes with Kenny Roberts rider
Also this 1/20 Tamiya McLaren MP4/7 - making a bit of progress on the power plant
And the Tamiya 1/48 Rufe - just a bit of black base in the cockpit
Same with the Tamiya 1/48 P-51B
Just realized… what’s on the workbench? Tamiya [:D]
Weathering the Corsair. Still a work in progress. Lighter wash will go on the outer wings.
Philo, you’re a brave soul taking on a large vacuform subject like that! [:O] Modeling skills required.
John, it sure does look like Tamiya has taken over your bench. And in more than one genre! [;)]
WP, that Corsair is a beauty!
This is Tamiya’s P-38, what a beautiful kit to work on so far.I have been all over with it,I got the twin booms done and have been working on the cockpit.These are the Quinta raised decals,they really look good and are easy to work with.
Tojo72 that is looking so good. You’re off to a great start. Any plans to purchase the
P-38 J when it gets released? I’ve got to get both of these P-38 kits someday.

Maybe,that’s the one I really wanted to begin with.
So many kits,so little time.
Those look cool.
Always appreciate being made aware of new products. Spent a while looking into them after I read your post.
Thank you, and also for the feedback on how you got along with them.
Nice looking builds, gentlemen.
This is what I’ve got going right now. The Tamiya F-4B that I’m building as an early F-4B Marine Corps ground pounder. Also a fan of the Quinta stuff for cockpits. If anybody is on the fence about buying a set of their stuff, just remember its a Russian company, so after on-hand stock is gone, who knows if we’ll ever see it again.
A 1/72 scale Gee Bee R1. Tiny, never built one before. An Beriev BE-6 Ekranoplan huge flying monster part painted.
Kelly Johnson had a great quote about the Lightning:
Sort of- “we started with the engine, then added the wing and the landing gear bay, then the radiators and before you knew it we were back at the tail”.
I’m a bit of a twin boom fan, this aircraft was really a work of art.

I’m still working on the Langley. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, however. Just those piddly little details left. I’ll be putting it on the display base very soon.
When I take breaks from the Langley work, I am working on a scratchbuild, a Great Lakes schooner called the Lucia Simpson, the last working commercial sailing vessel on the lakes (now long gone). Have the hull complete, am in the painting process.
Right now, I have a group build thing going for the Just making conversation podcast group…the Walnut Challenge!
the challenge of the group build is to build a scene inside the shell of a walnut! I have two ideas in progress, and a 2 pound bag of Walnuts on standby!
Just a quick little build just to say I actually finished something this year:
Thunder Models 1/35 Case VAI
Robert, that tractor would look real good towing an aircraft… too bad most that would go with it are 1/32 and not 1/35
So what’s on my bench right now? Actually several projects at once…
First up, a Hobbycraft 1/48 F8F-1B in VNAF colors, that is nearing the finish line
secondly, off my shelf of doom, a T-72B in Invader Zim markings… damaged many years ago, it has gone from this
to this
still have a bit more to do…
And last but not least, I’m working on this Dragon 1/35 M48A1, on which I’ve gotten this far…
Oh yeah, I’m also working once a month on this Italeri 1/35 Crusader AA tank for an AMPS GB Challenge… after 7 hours I’m at this point…
Not really good with pics but im doing Italeri’s 1/35 DUKW
Hi Stik!
As usual, no photos, but, I am working on my commission from Spring Creek Model Trains. It’s a Vac-u-Fromed H.O.(1/87)Great Lakes Freighter. As per old photos.It will have a detailed Wheelhouse. Known to most as the “Bridge”. Question, Where did that description come from? Any way, that and some Germanic Buildings for the Museum!
Billings Boats Lila Dan. 
Wow… nobody has touched this thread since before last summer officially began. I’ve got this Heller Etendard IVM on my bench currently…
