"WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS WEEK?" - A NEW SEGMENT OF FRIDAY NIGHT'S ISM LIVE "AT THE BENCH" SHOW!

* Open now until 1 hour before the show on Friday, September 1st*

** PLEASE read ALL of the rules below carefully! **

Hello everyone! This post is being created to give you, as a member of ISM, the opportunity to share what you have been working on during the week on the Friday night show. Please read the rules below in order to participate.

01). By participating in this thread, you are giving permission for the ISM live crew to share your work during the Youtube broadcast of the ISM Live "At the Bench" Friday show.

02). Please, only post your own work and not that of others.

03). Remember, post only one image per member each week. This will prevent prolific builders from dominating this segment and will prevent this part of the show from becoming too long.

04). Also, have only one project shown in the image per member each week. Again, this prevents prolific builders from dominating this segment and making this segment longer than it needs to be.

05). Along with your image, please include the following details: The name of the kit; the company that produces the kit; any aftermarket that you have added, along with the brands and colors of paint used (if applicable).

06). The deadline for entries each week will be between the time the post goes up until an hour before Friday's show. Entries made after the deadline will not be shown.

07). Remember: If you wish to have a project highlighted during the show, the image and information must be shared in this thread, not a separate post on the Facebook page!

08). There will be a posted thread similar to this one on the ISM Forums. PLEASE post your work only in ONE of these. This will prevent us from having to sort through duplicate posts on both sites.

After the the live crew shows what they have been working on during the week, participating member's images and details will then be shown. This is an opportunity for you as members to be directly involved with the show. We hope that you will participate no matter your level of experience. This will not be a critique of anyone's work.

We thank you in advance for allowing us the opportunity to showcase your models! - Lee Larholt, Paul Bretland, and the rest of the ISM moderators and live crew.

Friday September 1st Live Show update by fbarchi@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr

My next project after taking the summer off. AirFix 1:72 Junkers Ju87B-1 Stuka. Out-of-the -box with no aftermarket. It's a nice kit that's going together well, no fit problems, and the plastic is a lot less brittle than the last 1:72 scale model I built where the small bits would snap as I cut them off the sprue.
I used Testors Model Master acrylic RLM02 and Tamiya X-10 gunmetal on the interior then dry brushed with silver. Probably will be my last 1:72 scale model because they're just too small for my old eyes to see.

While waiting for the Feline Fever GB to start, I decided to pass the time by starting on this Aires F-14 cockpit set - which will be used in an Academy 1/48 F-14 kit. I was tempted to keep this for the GB, but will be entering a different kit instead.

Painted using Tamiya XF-54 Dark Sea Grey, Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black, and Tamiya XF-49 Khaki. I've never used a resin cockpit before but wanted to give it a go.

Tamiya 1/48 A-1J Skyraider

Primed in Ultimate black for black basing.
Used Tamiya XF-83 Medium Sea Gray 2 (RAF) to do the panel highlights.
Bottom was painted in Model Masters Camo Gray FS36622.

Next up will be the South East Asia camo. I'm leaning towards using Model Master Acrylics in the appropriate flavors. Super excited to get to use my new Apex!

Hope everyone had a great week!

More illuminated Star Trek from me this week. Following on from the warp nacelles last week this week I've been working on the secondary hull.

The LED string was passed up through the base and worked into one side of the hull before closing up - there's also a 3.5oz (100g) fishing weight installed at the back end to counter balance the weight of the saucer section. Everything has been primed in Ultimate black with Vallejo modelair white-grey as the main colour. Glossed with Alclad Aqua and then after decals and panel lining the matte was AK Ultra Matte. There's some seams to tidy up, and should then be able to attach the engine section and primary hull.

Dropping in to say hello
Busy day off for me before school starts for the kids, will watch you all on the replay tomorrow

Re-engineering the front and rear axles of Fujimi 1/24 Porsche 928 all because I didn't like the kit wheels
Threaded brass rod and hex machine screw now allows the new wheels to attatch.
Making up some disk brakes as well because that looks cool through the mags
Past the point of no return so will just slog on until done,
Hope the body paint isn't as big of a B likely a Darker Blue Gulf Scheme


Happy Friday gents all

PS nice work everyone, post up some more pics of your builds
Need to show more forum work vs those facebookers

I've been working on my Tamiya 1/24 Porsche 911 Turbo '88 for the Sam McCord appreciation build. So far all of the chassis and interior is all painted and the body work has been painted with Zero paints Yamaha MotoGP Gauloises Extreme Blue. I will be trying Zero paints 2k Diamond finish clear coat for the gloss and then it will be a case of painting the black parts on the body and final assembly. Really fun build and pleased with how it's turned out so far.
