"WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS WEEK?"

* Open now until 1 hour before the show on Friday, November 17th*

** 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.

Great fun little kit, nice detail and superb fit.
Paints used so far, Tamiya, Citadel, Xtracrylics.
Lots more to do yet.
Some may recognise the theme for this.

I finished my Revell 1/48 Apollo 11 Lunar Module for the "Final Frontier" SIG. I covered off the problems with the kit last time around so just to summarize the paintwork was done with Ultimate Black primer, Vallejo Metal Colour Aluminium, Vallejo model colour (off-white & black) and some Citadel metallics for the details. The base was dusted up by applying thin white glue and then sprinkling Vallejo light slate pigments (rinse and repeat until done). The Ascent module was set up on a short length of Perspex rod and wool roving (unspun yarn) was used to create the plume - the first attempt using cotton wool looked naff. There's virtually no visible exhaust on the video of the Apollo 17 launch so I've taken a little artistic license to add the plume to make it more dynamic.

Ok I am going to drop my second spacey build in too
Linberg 1/200 Space Shuttle Challenger kit to be depicted sitting on the launchpad just as the R solid booster o-ring starts to fail and leak; a harbinger to disaster 73 seconds later.
Ultimate primers will get a heavy workout with Oxide,Gelb, Black, Grey and White to be used....in fact almost all paint will be Ultimate muds
Planning on some LED lights and smoke if I can swing them...maybe some mirrors and slight of hand as well
So really just pretty much a straight OOB build with a tiny touch of extras to jazz things up

Two projects this week. First was finishing the 1/48 Eduard F6F-5 Hellcat ProfiPack; the ProfiPACK included PE, resin wheels and canopy masks. Painted with Stynylrez primer and custom Tamiya mix to get the color right, clear-coated with AquaGloss. Fun build, great learning experience. Hopefully you can see it in the post-build bench debris field! Which leads to the second project... cleaning off the bench!

Just so we have a little more armour in the show, here's what I've been working on. It's Tamiya's 1/35 Jagdpanther with some Aber photo etch and Tamiya figures. MiG's "King Tiger Exterior Colours" set for the camouflage, Vallejo's texture/diorama paints for the diorama.

Hi folks, this week i've been working on another what-if, this time it's based on the F-35A Lightning II.
The kit is the Italeri 1/72, with a new 2D thrust vector control nozzle, stolen from the 1/72 DML/Dragon YF-22 kit, and a pair of wingtip missile launchers from a Hasegawa US weapons set. Some Evergreen sheet styrene to blend it all in and sanded down with Ultimate sanders as usual.
Gave it a Tamiya XF-1 flat black undercoat, and tonight i'll be trying a mix of XF-56 metallic gray and XF-63 German gray to try to get something like the real F-35's finish metallic sheen.
