WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart – Slow and steady on the Moosaroo Cup. The cab and back bed have been attached to the body. Wheels on later this week. I have some HO-scale sheep I want to add to the diorama. Primed with white, working on dry brushing next.
Geoff – struggling with rigging the 1/72 Airfix Handley Page 0/400 and got back to a shelf queen – a 1/72 Airfix Albatross DV in Richthofen livery. Also started playing with armour weathering on a Russian tank donated by Frank Donati of our London Club. Next though will be a Christmas project to build “something cool” for a grandson. Thinking about the SR75 Penetrator but in bright colours!
Terry – Got a good coat of NATO black on the Lamda carrier decks, and glosscoat over that. I’m debating whether I need to buff that or just paint markings. It depends on how many decals I will use vs. painting. Also working on this year’s Christmas Birds. About 90% done with them.

WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart – Coming of Age in the Milky Way by Timothy Ferris. Just starting the 19th century. It’s fascinating how some discoveries of things were done independently but also some would not have happened without the work done by previous generations.
Geoff – SAS Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell and Damien Lewis. Just started, but I already feel terribly inadequate when measured against the SAS!
Terry – Still reading Ed Yong’s An Immense World. Through hearing, electrosensory and now into magnetic sense. It’s amazing how many senses are modifications of other nerve and chemosensory mechanisms.
