Right now:
Trumpeter AS-90 -- contstructed with base coat applied, now just have to do the camo and detail paint/weather
Trumpeter Type 89 Rocket Launcher -- for "Incomding" have some construction started on the interior parts

Also, need to finish painting a Minicraft 777 airliner. Unfortunately, work during the week leaves no time

Everything is mostly waiting on an airbrush, plus I got to get more colors of paint, which I get a few more each month. I got a Marder III about 80%, M107 about 80%, GMC 6X6 65%, and a Loeopard II about 20%, and I got a whole bunch more in the pile, but no sense starting until I can make some head way.
Inbetween times I've been making tow cables and yesterday I made two feet of barbed wire, now it took me the whole day just to get two feet. As long as my health permits me, now it was fun making it, but my health will only let me do it for short periods at a time.
Oh I forgot I have been stripping some of the old paint and glue off some of my old models from the 60's and 70's inbetween to.

Just Finished Churchill Crocodile for British Commonwealth group Build, and last night my 120mm Verlinden US WWII Tanker figure. M1 Abrams for the campaing is waiting weathering and detail.
M155 Howitzer 8 inch is at 10% started for the Incoming Campaign
DUKW for the Overlord Campaign is also at 10% started
My Scratch build Roman Catapult for the Incoming Campaign is also at 5% due to material searching, and there always a probability to start on more 120 mm resin figure in the Weekend !!! #:-)

-Academy M981 FISTV which is about 60-65 percent done;OOB with some work done on the tie down handles but otherwise its stock. I've got the hull assembled,primed, and painted with a base coat of Tamiya NATO Green and I just need to take some time now to layout the rest of the three color camo scheme. Also need to work on the BII and the smoke grenades. The tracks are assembled and primed and covered with a Tamiya FLat Black (Acrylic) I need to lay down a light coat of future and start weathering on those.

-Tamiya SAS 'Pink Panther' Land Rover conversion to a 'Safari Truck'. This kit is the priority right now because my wife wants it in our first baby's nursery to go with the African Safari theme. Its the first kit I've done any serious conversion/scratch build work. Its really not much compared to what other, more experienced modelers do, but its a undertaking for me. I've scratch built a 'cage' for lack of a better term on the back of the 'Rover, replaced all the spots where the weapons would go and have begun trying to add some weld effects to make the vehicle look really rough and rustic- like it had been converted from a SAS Rover.

I've got a few of the Tamiya 'Modern US Infantry' figures I've been working on trying to get my skills with 1/35th figures up to speed. They're aseembled and painted, they just need some weathering and weapons finished up and they're done.

Loads of stuff!

Academy Super Sherman - needs painted figures, dry-brushing
Academy Fitter, Tamiya Chieftain, T-34 - weathering, stowage
Academy Merkava Mk. 3 - Decals, weathering, stowage
DML M1A1 OIF - finishing, figures cannibalized from Tamiya M1A1
Tamiya M1A1 - finishing, refurbishing (it was one of my first models, and needs a bit of work)
Trumpeter Strv103C - waiting for me to get the guts to do a 4-color camo scheme
Trumpeter Challenger 2 - Basic assembly

And loads of other projects abandoned from laziness or sheer frustration! I feel sortof guilty for not having really finished ANYTHING in the true sense of the word - but I'm getting there!

Right now, I've 'only' got an E-100 on the workbench. It's 'only' because I scratched half of the kit #:-)
