What's on your bench for October?

Nice looking Bismark Rob. Still got mine to do and the Shinano.
Just got the Shapeways Vindicator that Zoe sent me & my other Martlet to convert.
Hmmmm... Well since I have this on my workbench ( and it is taking forever! )...
My October workbench still has most of my September list waiting in the wings...
Not actually on my workbench but I'll be constructing cupboards and shelving for, and painting inside and out my new garden shed (or as my daughter would have it, pimping my mancave
I'm looking to get an airbrush and if successfull I'll be resurrecting my WoG WW2 project.
Just received my Valom Sopwith Pups, they look fiddly, but looking forward to building and painting them.
I also have an Ares Dr1 to sort out and paint to add to my Jasta 19 flight.
Hope to achieve this in between finishing fitting the kitchen
I just ran off the first few pages of decals on my new laser printer. I've loads of models that I can now finish. It should be a productive month.

Must admit, I am a bit jealous of your laser printer! I think I need to figure out a reason why I "need" one for my business...Originally Posted by Womble

Waterproof ink is the biggest advantage so you can just print and decal. There must be a good excuse.I think I need to figure out a reason why I "need" one for my business...
Here's the first with a new decal, Ritter Von Schleich, the top Bavarian ace. I've been waiting a while to make his personal insignia.
The decal is a Shed decals white circle with a clear printed lion over the top.

Superb Ian.
I am now thinking hard about where the money is coming from for mine.

What kind of decal paper? clear or white? and where did you get the paper? as to the S.E.5.As, where did you get the white letttering?
The decal paper is from Crafty Computer Paper. It's brilliant stuff. I printed two sheets of white with mainly lozenge and a sheet of clear. The clear is best for darker decals like letters and numbers. The SE5a white letters were from Mehusla on eBay, just search RAF narrow 144 and you'll find them. He does two sheets, the large letters are perfect for top wings, the smaller ones are just right for the fuselage. He doesn't make black letters for the underside of the bottom wing so I printed some on clear decal paper. I'll take some better photos when I finish them and give them their own post.

Yeah! I finished a few 18thC minis for my upcoming Fate game!
Ha! I can not compete with you guys this month!
This month I had decided to learn myself (and my gaming buddy) how to play Battles of Westeros, so the first October Sunday was spent to set up, glue and straighten 138 figurines that I had taken out of the box...
Houses Stark and Lannister...

I'm currently building those two models ; like Rob, I'd like to use some bombs and torpedoes on those floating targets ...
About the HMS Belfast, I tried to use some values about armament and resistance.
What do you think about those values ? Adapted ? Too low ? Have to be adjusted ?
Looks like you intend to get up close and personal with those at 1:600 Casey.

As promised before Warhammer Bretonnian Pegasus Knights Red Squadron is airborne and it is WW2 Allies themed (Yugoslav, British, Russian):
They are inspired with basic Me109 again (and according to Wings Pallete each country mentioned above had at least one Messerschmit)
Nice to see Heмaњa.
My word the Bretonnian troops have moved on a long way since I last played Warhammer!
Rob.
I should be receiving my new scouts tomorrow so hopefully this weekend I should be building them this weekend, they're the new Valom Fokker D.VII's so I'll be able to add to my new CP unit Jasta 15 with the help of Dom's Decals
Let's see...
I've got some 1/72 scale 30YW figures (Spanish and French, c.1640), 20mm Taliban machine gunners, Afghan civilians and NATO EOD teams (for Ambush Alley/Force on Force), 1/270 scale starships from Shapeways (for use with X-Wing), more Shapeways starships (this time 1/3788 or 1/3900 scale Star Trek stuff for use with Full Thrust) and some Shapeways 1/144 scale Nieuport 17s and a H-B w.12 awaiting decals and about a dozen other WWI aircraft in need of crews (all for our favorite game, WoG).

Now something ... different as well.
A figure of ... Udet!
I bought it several days in an online store and today this heroic model is on my desk
Can't wait to build and paint it/him!
Looks as if it will make a great centerpiece for your display of aircraft Andy.
Now if only someone would do an Albert Ball in that size.

This one just slipped through for my Malta campaign.

This month my work bench is a dry dock!
First of 7 emerges . . .
Working on a tank-busting scenario, so I need some A7Vs.
Good grief John. I am really slacking. I have only got four of those. I'd better get my skates on and paint up some more pronto.
Do post again when they are finished. I'd love to see them in action.
Rob.

Thanks, Rob. I need to finish at least four of them today for the scenario I'm thinking of. The other four... I may do those up in a German disruptive camo pattern.
Nice. I want to do some ships vs flying boats myself someday.
The first Spitfire arrives over Valletta.

With side code "T L" - now that really *is* being unfair to the poor old Italians....
Waiting for the paint to dry before I finish them off. Then it's on to the Salmson-Moineau.
Memory fails -- what's the significance?With side code "T L" - now that really *is* being unfair to the poor old Italians....
Yes, I think these will do just fine.
It's George Beurling's kite - aka the Knight Of Malta, who racked up the odd few kills over the island....
Currently in hand:
- A 28mm "posse" for our local club's western gunfight games
- Several Airfix 1/76 British and Japanese tanks for my Burma project (which wasn't eve a glimmer in my eye a couple of months ago)
- Half a dozen 1/1200 ACW ships and ironclads
- A 15mm LCM being converted into a riverine assault craft for AK-47
- Eight 1/600 WW2 coastal models, just picked up on Ebay for peanuts
- Two 1/144 Siemens Schuckhert D.III fighters
- A scratch built space station for War Rocket
- Thirty two 15mm Bashi Basouks
I think I'm lacking focus
Looks like a swarm of blue meanies; did the A7Vs really go into action painted blueYes, I think these will do just fine.

They are more of a dark grey, but the lighting didn't do it justice.
John, From what I have read I think you have got them as close as you can to their actual colour.
Must be my computer then; I see no real grey on them.

John, are your A7V's available in 1/144"? I have seen them on your listing and wondered . . . my other tanks are lonely . . .
So far the sea elves have done pretty well,
Gotta get the air elves on the job, the Shapeways and AIMs are arriving this week!
I've got to stop looking at your posts Clipper, as I'll end up deciding I need a bigger house....
Those are cool. I need to make some of them in 6mm.John, are your A7V's available in 1/144"? I have seen them on your listing and wondered . . . my other tanks are lonely . . .
My A7Vs are not in 144, but if you want them to be, I could add more detail and rescale them for you.
Could be. I'm not the best person to talk to about color perception, being partially colorblind. I can tell you that the color I used is a Vallejo paint called Sombre Grey.
Hey John
What would be nice besides the tanks at 1/144 would be your Staaken VGO completed . . . hint, hint, nudge, nudge. . . . as if I need another Staaken! "One can never have too many" - who said that???????
