Tales from the Bench~2026 (3.24.26update)

Well 2025 was a total bust as far as scale modeling went…New Job, New State and a New House. After getting the bench set up I decided that 2026 will be focused on the Shelf of Shame. Here are my five project that I’ll finish this year. :crossed_fingers:

So it been about a month, therefore time for a workbench update! The big news is I actually finished the building of the French B1 bis (captured). What an awesome kit. If your looking for a quick and easy pallet cleanser defiantly consider this one. I kept the modding to minimum with only the addition of the long range fuel tank from Blast Models.

While going through some of my boxes I came across a couple of other ‘Shelf-of-Shame’ builds that are really close to completion so I swapped out the T34/100 and The IDF Supersherman, I’ll come back to them at a to-be-determined later time.

First is an Italeri/Tamiya Crusader III with an AFV Club(?) Roto-Trailer. Its closer to the finish line then it would appear.

The other is a what-if of a M20A1 Mortar Carrier pulling a liberated enemy flack trailer. As you can see this one is even closer to the Finish line.

Lastly is a bit a track work on a Tamiya T-55. While not strictly a ‘Shelf-of-Shame’ it is a restarted build…so it kind of fits. This will an Afghanistan Diorama. The tracks are from Takom and were super easy to use…so a thumbs up on that…:+1:

As always Thanks for stopping in for a look-see and feel free to leave a comment.
