Nope, I only use that end of the table for final assembly of large models, doing transfers or temporary storage (before or after paint/weathering). I spill paint at the workbench end ;) :jester:

The goods shed turned out nice, well done. Your customer should be pleased

 

He certainly is pleased Chris - he always sees the photo's first before I post them on here.

There'll be some more photo's later today of the goods shed.

K's?  Where do you hide the helium gasbags to lighten those whitemetal lumps?  You'd need a King to pull 'em!

Those are jolly big rivets on the turret, or are they bosses, or....

 

 

Jolly good stuff!

The wheels wouldn't even move when I received them to rework- I have my ways and a hammer may of been involved ;)

According to Wikipedia, the Cromwell and Centaur were closely related development branches, the image of a Cromwell at Bovington Museum in the article shows the big rivet/boss heads.  Google throws up the same image labelled as both a Cromwell AND a Centaur!

All we need know now is why all British tank names seem to start with a "C"...

There was a fair number of late war marks of British tanks, of steadily improving design. Finally matching the German designs. Eventually we got the Centurion.

 

How are the Typhoon and Tempest coming along?

 

I've cleared the decks for the next 10 days (or so), the Tempest will be first back on the bench to be completed. The Typhoon is a crap kit, so it's low priority to finish. I thinking about doing either the 1/48th Spit I have on my stash or 1/48th Blenheim...

Go for the Blenheim. I have decals for a Fleet Air Arm second line squadron which are different to the usual. But I have a penchant for FAA second line or training aircaft anyway. Sea Prince anyone?

As per my 1/72nd Scale Blenheim - she'll be in black ;) 

 

In the meantime the Tempy is back on the workbench...
