1/72 Corsair 95% complete. Leading edge intakes and final sanding.
1/48 Lockheed Al-60 Conestoga - concurrent group build on Solid Wood Models on flickr
1/32 Bruno Stillman. Attempted vertical sander on hull sides. Did not do very well, back to hand planing.
Everything else on hold.

  Fauvel AV36 progressing
  Short Stirlings progressing
   
  Macchi M5 gets attention occasionally.

  Along with the Fauvel and Stirlings there is something else that I hope to finish by the end of the
  Year

Uggh!  New puppy is consuming all of my building time.  Still working on 1/56 Aichi Val divebomber to complete my goal of 12 models for 2017

I count 55 models built on SMM so far this year and we still have a month to go.  I hope to have two more, however redoing the kitchen cabinets is cutting into my cutting time.

Don't forget to visit the group build site and the photo index. I keep adding photos but can easily miss some. I ask that you all ahve a look to see if their builds are featured there.
