With the Summer upon us, and the weather (mostly) making clothes disappear :) I was wondering if everyone was still working on some projects or spending more time outside. If you currently have a project being built Post a pic of what your working on. Currently Im working on the Patlabor maintenance facility and AV-98 Ingram Combo (the ones you can combine to one diorama)

Lets see them Builds :)

I wish I was working. No one wants to hire a student especially one who has experience working in a proffesional field.

If I WAS working on something, it would be a couple of NOBI projects and perhaps a start on the Starcraft Cannon.

I have been working on a fourth tug model to go alongside my 1:200 Titanic model. I havenīt started building yet, I only got it printed yesterday. I also got me two sheets of passengers and officers for these models.

Currently I'm working on doing doing an updated and more accurate version of the landing party set for TOS Star Trek. The communicator and Tricorder are just about ready for an Alpha Build, and the phaser (Type 1 and 2) are coming along well, I'm just having problems with the emitter. Currently these are being set up as hero builds, but to speed things along I may do a midgrade first.

I'm weathering panels on airdave's AC-130 gunship I just got and also drawing couple "what if" nose art for the gunship when I'm not building my 3D models. I'm done unfolding my submarine 707R and getting ready to color that too.

Here is couple of the C-130 nose art.

I'm currently working on a mecha figure, the Eva 01 from the Neon Genesis Evangelion series. I have finished the head, and started on the torso. Pics are coming soon. Also started planning the R-Type project, http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/design-threads/15094-r-type-final.html
I'd appreciate input from anyone in that project, by the way. Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure what I'm working on.

i guess I need to finish up my OBP Rutan Long-EZ. I also have the FG H-19 that I'm STILL working on from last years contest.

Hmm, and, I need to rebuild one of Airdave's Red Tail P-51s for the local Tuskegee airmen branch.

Working on the Orlik K-Wagen, just finished the tracks. Getting really bored with it.

Building some railway scenery models. Finishing off the signal box and a row of terraced housing. Being paid for this, customer more than happy with first batch.

Thinking about combining two Schreiber kits into a diorama. A lighthouse and fishing boat. Not an original idea - copied off the Schreiber website.

Planning to add lighting to both, already bought the bulbs. Probably use cork bark for cliff and acrylic resin for sea.

Also a busy time with model shows: Hendon late last month, missed Downham Market last weekend. Should make Coventry in two weeks time though.

Would get more done but work keeps getting in the way.

Currently I'm working on Maly Modelarz (9/99) - 4TP Little Polish tank prototype. It's a fun quick little model - great kit, all parts fit really well - good printing on good quality paper. Not at all like the blotter paper used on the old Maly kits.

I've been thinking about starting the GPM M26 dragon wagon (just haven't mustered up enough courage yet to pull the trigger on it) Besides... I'm still sick of looking at all that OD green - I've had enough to last for a while with my recient Sherman build.

I do have to find the time to squeeze in the Fiddlers Green JU52 at some point before October. I plan to enter this as my build for this years Civil aircraft theme at the IPMC.

I'm working on a Cessna O-2 Skymaster. Got the beta build done, I just need to go in and clean it up, then get the markings done. I'm also trying to decide what to design next. I'm leaning towards the OV-10 Bronco (It's forward fuselage looks remarkably similiar to the Cheyenne).

I would love to see an OV-10 Bronco... I can remember when one of those squadrons were assigned to the airfield at Camp Pendleton.

Got a 1/3 done Answer GAZ AA on the bench, Chelsea Phantasy Star for my first figure attempt, Smart car. In plastic, Ferrari 612, Aston Martin DB4, Fowler Z7 plowing engine and the loooong term 1928 Lincoln Model L Locke bodied dual cowl phaeton. That's on the active bench, for started and stashed, we're talking about a War & Peace length list. Right now getting ready to head to the airport and off to Seattle. Meeting up with my racing buddy from Auburn and a NASCAR Camping World West race Sunday at Monroe, WA. Then just hanging out, temps under 90, lots of green and wouldn't even mind seeing some rain as long as its not race day.
