HI. I've been kind of switching back and forth between Tamiya's 1/35 M60A1 w/ reactive armor, and Revell's 1/72 S-100 class fast attack craft. Since this is the very first boat I've ever tried to build, everything thing I try to do on it requires a lot of thought on my part, so I won't mess it up, too badly. And I find that switching back to the tank gives me that space to do a lot of thinking on how the boat is coming along.
Take care, S. Girty,

All I have going is my 4.2" mortar for the "Incoming" campaign...and a Tug Boat to go with the nautical theme I have going in my basement.
Still trying to find the ideal figure for the new campaign also....
Several kits from the recent Hobby Lobby sale waiting in the wings...
...and tons of ideas floating amongst what little grey matter I have...

1 Demag with 38 mm PAK from Italeri. Partly assembled and sprayed.
1 37 mm PAK with some scratchbuilding and conversion work started.
A huge Collection of Paintbottles
A huge collection of Tools scattered around the workbench.
This is about it. It`s a quiet time at the moment

Currently a 1/72 Testors F-117A, building it wheels up, in flight, with the bays open, having just dropped its two LGBs.....oh yeah and the kicker is, it will be a "WHAT IF" as it will have Canadian markings, and will sport the new experimental Day Time Camo that the US are looking at.
Also a 1/24 1970 Boss 429 Mustang, I am building for a local contest.
Soon to have a BM-21 GRAD on the bench for the Artillery build.
