You’re looking to get your hands CA glued to the table. I can sense some members’ teeth nashing and their ears bleeding after theyve read that comment.

Not my favorite part of modeling by a longshot, but I take it in stride as part of the process.

I remember that.
Maybe stick some antenna on top and call him Ray Walston?

He’s not my uncle; he’s the uncle of Anthony “Hulk” Blake.

Yes. He played the uncle of Tom O’Hara, who was played by Bill Bixby.
Who played the Hulk.
And who played Anthony Blake aka the Magician.

Yesterday and today I started in on the final phase of a few tanks, straightened my mess up a bit, and started preparing to alter some of my shelves by moving some builds. I won’t bore you with pics of the cleaner room seeing as how there were no ‘before’ pics, so who cares?
I did make myself a little stand to hold figures on as I need to get quite a few done and put on the kits they came with. The motivation was actually finding some corks my wife has been holding onto for about a decade with the idea “I’m going to make a cork board, get it?” being uttered for the decade since with no board produced, so I took them knowing I could stick my figures into them for holding while painting, as I do the typical thing of drilling and inserting a wire (piece of paper clip in my case). The piece of scrap has several finishing nails driven up through the bottom and the corks get stuck on those as I move from figure to figure. Pretty basic idea and a bit steadier than the bits of Styrofoam I was using.
Used Celluclay for the first time ever to make the base for my 1/144 Hoth diorama using an AT-AT, AT-ST, and snowspeeder. Once that is dry, I can apply the snow product and other snowy wasteland nonsense as appropriate. My skills don’t yet extend to lighting so don’t get your hopes up; this isn’t Boylei Hobby Time.
The small base on the left is for the old Tamiya Kettenkraftrad kit with trailer which I actually completed over 8 years ago. I built the kit with painfully muddy tracks so the base has been formed to reflect that and hopefully I pressed the tracks in well enough to show once it is painted and grassed up.
Made a base from a piece of a bit of scrap plywood for the Tamiya motorcycle and rider that came with the 8.8cm Flak 36.
Finished the Pz.Kpfw III Ausf K that came with the Cyber Hobby Plattformwagen Typ Ssy but decided to mount it on a base and place it with my other III’s. Just needs the antenna attached and a few touch-ups.
The Takom Jagdpanther that came with the Plattformwagen Typ SSys has wheels on and just needs a base and some touch-ups.
And a shot off all my assembled tanks (except for one which is getting its tracks on) after moving some off the shelves to be altered for my railroad cars:
My armored cars and softskins are on other shelves.

Is there any difference between the cork corks to the synthetic ones? I need to build me one of those boards as well.

I wouldn’t think so. As long as you can stick something in it like a regular piece of cork it should work.

Not so much what I did in the workshop, but some of the guys at work fixed a glass cabinet in the break room today. In stead of collecting dust in my office the models have now got a permanent place. And since I work in the Defence industry there is nothing wrong with a few military models

You’re a lucky duck Erik, that’s a nice display cabinet especially since it’s lighted and has a lock on the door. Nice looking collection of vignettes and models.

Inglorious service eh? I’d be interested in hearing your views on that Agin.
Putting the M817 dump’s cab together atm. My bench hasn’t been so busy just recently ‘cos I’m part way through re-stringing my shock fence* to keep Bambie and Yogi out. The deer love the budding fruits and the bears eat….anything they want, so it’s a worthwhile task.
*Been up nearly 20 years, so it’s done its stint I reckon.

Thank you. The funny thing was that one of the guys found the cabinet just before it was going in the trash, due to refurbishment. Now it will serve for many more years as my personal «museum»
