WORK BENCH SATURDAYS!!

[BMX Addicts]

Same station, different project.... Happy Saturday folks.

Here's mine today, not so neat. I'm still in Winter mode working from the kitchen table. Put some decals on the '57 last night around midnight then cleared over it today. I started another '57 Snap Kit just to practice BMF on. I painted it a second time today, used a whole bottle of 1/4 oz. Testors on this one, something I normally don't do. Happy Saturday!

Thanks Juan, I wish my bench looked as neat as yours. Mine will usually only stays that way long enough to take a picture then it's back to a mess like I have now.

[BMX Addicts]

We all hide a few things before the pic...

I'm diggin' the tow truck Nick. Which kit did you start with? The boom is really cool and your paint looks really neat too.

Revell Hot Rod Pickup and Snap Wrecker, Didn't like very much of either kit, it's about 60% kit bashed, 40% scratchbuilt (Axles, springs, exhuast, and the whole bed & Wrecker unit. Still a few dozen things to do.

Here's my workbench this Saturday.

Garden work. Now you all know why I can not build too quickly. Enjoy your day.

[crazyjim]

Not fair, Tom. You get to have all the fun.

[Modlbldr]

Oh yeah! All of it. I'm calling this my "Honey Do Do List".

Hey Tom, is that a load of poop you've got there?

[Modlbldr]

One of five loads. Now I'm in the garage clearing things out to make room for the exercise equipment that has been stored for almost six years. The fun never stops here.

Later-

[Tom Geiger]

I'm with Mr Kendall- I made the mistake of ordering 10 yards of mulch and have spent the last two days weeding gardens, pruning bushes and trees. I've got two garden areas completed with mulch and they look super! Sad part is that I'm probably 25% done and I haven't even put a dent in that huge mulch pile in my driveway!

And I didn't mention that every bone in my 54 year old body aches!

Didn't see anything come up today, and I didn't have a chance to do this until a little after midnight, but here's what I've spent most of the week poking at.

The Moebius '55 Chrysler 300 is fantastic. I've only had a couple of little hiccups with this kit, but it's been a sheer joy to build.

The engine is really a model in and of itself.

The wheels are blackwashed very lightly.

One of the easiest-to-assemble frames I've ever dealt with.

Charlie Larkin

[charlie8575]

Some dry-fitting of the chassis.

I got an assembly sequence out of order, so it might require a little jiggery-poke to get the the exhaust pipes in, but this is still going to work well and have a great looking assembly when it's all done. I plan on installing the driveshaft and finalizing most of the other assemblies this afternoon.
