Nice work! Nice shading on  the  mech and I like those faceplates on the PALs..

Hey guys, how's everyone? I recall that some folks have sometimes purchased/used some plastic based that have worked well, maybe by Chessex?  Where did you get those from? Thanks!

Thanks, Phil! Best wishes to you & yours, and to the rest of the crew here.

I'm not sire I have even seen an unpainted US Wasp.  I'm sure you will do it justice, please share a pic when you are done. 

Yep, that's the one.  I found that my rotary Braun toothbrush works pretty good at getting paint out of panel lines.  Not sure what I will do with it but if its presentable, I'll post it. And thanks for the invite.  Sorry you can't your missing stuff, though.

I started on these hovers a long time ago but as usual, I am just poking along.  I tried to copy a scheme used in the old Camospecs book.  I have a couple of other hovers & a Jenner I was going to put in the same scheme.  I haven't been able to paint much lately, and as I got into home brewing , thats eaten into somemore of my spare time..but its been enjoyable

As for magnifiers & light, I bought one of those portable Ott lites from Lowes and I found that to be useful for getting extra light where its needed.  I also bought one of those magnifiers on the flexible arm that has sometimes been handy. I bought a small LED light that is on a flexible line that I rubber banded to the magnifier arm when I want even more light.    But I usually just take off my glasses  or look over the top of them when painting details.  I also find magnifiers tough on the depth perception plus its not as easy for me to stay focused on one point for very long. 

I think I showed this to Phil some time ago and I haven't finished it since.   I thought would post it to see what you guys think, and to maybe get more discussion going on whats on everyone's work bench.
