CultTVMan Presents On The Bench

What's on your workbench? Show us!



	Posting a few odds and ends submitted to On the Bench. First up comes this Nautilus from Lou Dalmaso




			George Belknap has this little kit from Jimmy Flintstone. Look for a full write up soon. Haven't finished the little Batmobile yet. Did snap this quick pic of the freshly painted body. Dang, those little red stripes were a pain but they're on there.

	Here's a few more photos of Mike Aucutt's Battlestar Galactica. This was last seen a few months ago. Well after finding some decent reference material and a few sleepless nights I decided to gut and re-build the bow and engine section. I feel the overall look of the Battlestar is now much closer to studio scale. The landing bay pylons are still about 1/4 inch too wide but I can live with that. I plan to light the ship with some old Star Trek fiber optics lights. Among the many reasons to live in Iowa is that I am only 50 miles away from the AMT/Ertl plant and discount store. I have not been there in a while but you could go in and buy Star Trek and Star Wars models for $2-3 dollars each. Thats were I picked up my supply of fiber optic lights. I have been playing with building 1/4 inch viper models to place behind an acetate "window" in the landing bay..1/4 inch leaves little room for detail. With the additional sheet plastic this project is still under $100.00. However I have yet to start detailing the bottom of the ship.

Finally, we have this 4 foot Cardassia Galor project from Nick Turner

I sent you some pics a while back of a 4 foot Cardassian warship I was doing. I`ve done a lot more since the last pictures, the whole thing is made up from bits and pieces of MDF, and then covered with styrene sheet. It`s really heavy!
