The lighthouses are finally complete and time can be better spent on my favorite hobby.

On the bench:

1/32 CF-5A & CF-5B both primed require some sanding and paint
1/48 Vampire primed requires some sanding and paint
1/72 Handley Page Hampden ID Model group build - drawing sized and printed. Awaiting Peter's response to his printer's paper size to forward drawing to him
1/144 Bonnie bit and pieces added here and there.
1/48 Piper Apache drawings sized and printed. Some error in sizing requires correcting.

Well let see if I can build something before the end of the year. I have two projects one is a proposed British fighter, I believe it was Aero Modeler Magazine the plan is in the gallery. The second is the Hadley Page Hampton, properly scaled plans thanks to Lou! My goal is to try and finish at least one of these by January 1st 2014. We'll see if a self imposed dead line helps me keep on track.
