[Tophe]

9 kits in a single morning, not bad... (impressive anyway! ) the joy of retirement?
BUT this is just a little part of your workbench, are you shy to count them all? Are not included the ones I am hardly waiting for (LR-38M, Lightning glider)... How big is the grand total? 40?

[Glenn]

40! maybe? anyhow, this afternoon......

XP-34 : 1/32 making tailwheel and support.

Trimming s couple of trees.

A new project...a RN fast boat: no scale yet, but will be 320mm long.

Greek Galley : Trojan wars, 1/72 sc scratch built.

FH-1 Phantom : MPM 1/72 finished less undercart.

TFX Beaufighter :1/48 Falcon Vacform, engine cowling #1

So, Tophe...that was today. It usually takes me 3 days to complete one cycle, then you'll have a full list.

[Glenn]

Back with modeling with the TFX Beaufighter. At this stage, I hadn't added the port intake, so that section wasn't undercoated.
I'm having a break from listing models, as we've just come back from shopping and spending $$ at a hardware.

[Glenn]

Please don't shoot down the LR-38M before taking a photograph of it (or is it what you were saying? )
The Bf-109 floatplane is bloody interesting too... one central float or 2 lateral floats? well, we will see, no hurry, take your time dear

[Tophe]

The Bf-109 floatplane is bloody interesting too... one central float or 2 lateral floats?
