WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Working on a 1/144 Bandai Tie fighter. Painted the solar panels Aqueos Metallic Black, then after a gloss coat going to try Mr Metallic Color GX Metallic Violet. In a very thin coat. After masking the panels off I may use the same Violet color for the other parts.

I have also primed and airbrushed gold onto some parts of the Hayabusa Muses-C space probe.

Geoff - really stuck in the summer doldrums, partly due to chores but also just not terribly motivated, so I’m just plugging away at several kits at the pre-painting stage.

Terry - Slow summer with puppies! Ginny brought a (maybe) foster husky home. Zeus is about 9 months old and is doing a stellar job wearing himself and Toshi out. I have had a chance to do a bit of sanding etc. here and there.

Chris - Rebuilding the hobby studio in the new house. Phase 1a is complete. Phase 1b to begin when I build up the courage.

Improving the Tamiya 1/48 Corsair - Build video at https://youtu.be/JLK9h2Sg-qg

I’ll be painting this build next and hope to have a video out soon.

WHAT ARE WE READING

Stuart - The Victorian Internet by Tom Stage - A history of the telegraph and how it’s effect on civilization mirrors quite a bit the creation of the Internet.

Geoff - still reading about Magellan!

Terry: Still reading the same books, I’m about halfway through Tom Cleaver’s Clean Sweep - P-51Bs have started arriving in England. I’m getting the urge to read something big and engrossing like a China Mieville or Neal Stephenson novel. Maybe Discworld, I’ve never read that series.

Chris - Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell, The Fighting Corsairs

THE LAST WORD

“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

-Kurt Vonnegut
