WW1 militiaman (Kellerkind Miniaturen, 1/32, grey resin) for one of two under-construction dioramas. These phone pics represent the always vexing "Thought I Was Pretty Much Finished But Then I Looked at Pictures of It" phase. Finding human figures a helluva' lot more challenging than machines at 1/32 - jeebus.

Westland Lysander Mk.I (Finland / 1943)
Eduard 1/48
Finally, a few final + work in progress pics.
This project included a fair bit of scratch-built modifications (not my strength but working on it). Most significant among those was creating the leading-edge slats for the wings and adding a wing dihedral by relocating the struts. A challenging build, especially given how the wings pass through the canopy and attach to the delicate interior superstructure, the struts, and then the struts to the wheel spats. Also opened up the fuselage inspection hatch and mocked up the engine starter box. Plus miscellaneous etc. The Lysander is a very interesting and unusual design with abundant readily visible details. I really wish a new tool version was available in 1/32.
