I Was looking for somewhere to share my current builds in progress and this looks just the right place  I build off the kitchen table and all my pics are with IPhone cameras (sorry) Im one of them that will have at least two builds in progress, so I’m always busy....here’s what I’m up to currently. All three are in need of weathering and various tweaks Airfix Curtis Hawk 1/72....     
Revell 1/72 Hummel late. Lots to do still .....   
Tamiya Tiger 1....   
All comments or abuse welcome 🤣🍺 cheers Si

Magnificent lineup Si! Love them all.
As one who builds exclusively in 1/72 scale when it comes to aircraft and armor; I'm thrilled to see that little Hummel. Brilliant job on that! Makes mine look like a toy!

I’m glad you like the Hummel  The kit is pretty good in itself but I couldn’t resist chucking an AM barrel on it. There is still plenty more to do so I’ll update as I go  Glad there is an interest for Braille scale stuff here as I have loads more to build plus I have some old builds you might like to see? Cheers Si

Good to see them here mate. And while Tiger 332 is closest to my heart  I really love how that P-40 looks so far!

By all means post them all up! If you want to see some exclusively small scale planes and armor (and even Real Space) under construction, feel free to check out Maddog Manufacturing. Aside from that, Steve M and Jeff both regularly build in Braille as well.
So yes; I want to see more! I bet it probably puts mine to shame! LOL!!

A’ noon chaps, Got the wheels on and played about with a filters and some oil paints....think I’m nearly done? 
Still have the antenna to add but I’m a little unsure of attachment. There is a tiny nub on the wing tip, which I assume is where the antenna would attach? I had a google to see if I could find a walk around with a close up picture of an attachment point but came up dry.....anyone have a picture of how it should look 1:1?

Looks great! I'm afraid I can't help you about the antenna or so...
