What’s on your bench?
There's a STACK of started projects on/under my bench, I've been too preoccupied with the Touring Cars Slotting Proxy recently to get near any of them, some of them are in this list:
Scaley Aston DB5 3D chassis needs final tweaking
Fly Ferrari 365 GTB re-chassis needs building
Revell Corvette Grand Sport re-chassis needs building
Resin 3D Ferrari 246 GT with a 3D chassis needs building
Resin 3D 1955 Oldsmobile 88 with a 3D chassis needs building
Resin 3D TVR Griffith with 3D chassis needs finalising and windows
Resin cast Broadspeed Jag XJ12C awaits measuring up for a 3D chassis
Problem is you finish one and two more appear

Well, I gave you a like but.....
I have a Fiat Abarth 1000 body to develop to mould readiness and then make window templates and interior tray to suit.
I have a Delahaye 155 exhaust system to create.(it’s a V12) plus create some sort of screen mounting for it.
Finish casting the Sunbeam Tiger LeMans inserts to create a multi piece mould. I think these have been previously unobtainable anywhere.
Prepare a Sunbeam Tiger LM body to mould readiness. ie priming, filling, sanding, trimming, priming, sanding, priming etc
Create a metal drop axle for the front on an Alfa Romeo P2 resin body car. Rear of chassis is PP and is sorted.
Fix up the yellow nose on the green Vanwall Portuguese gp edition and build a wire chassis for it.
Convert a 1/43 resin toy figure to a driver for my Mk7 Jaguar make and vac form an interior tray for the same car.
Vac form screens for a McLaren 2b kit that is nearly ready to post to the US.
Vac form multiples of window sets of the Scalextric 70’s Camaro, Pioneer Camaro, SCX Plymouth barracuda for export to the USA.
And then, and then......

It'd be rude not to reciprocate then

Yes, Kevan, it’s a Carrera. I couldn’t wait for Sideways to release their promised version. A 3DP chassis is on the way and I’m working on reducing the body weight.

I love the super aggressive look and would have loved to have seen it in the Touring Proxy...I might have to get one and modify my chassis file for the Audi RS5

I just realised this wouldn't have been eligible for the Touring Proxy as DTM has been purely GT3 since 2021
...perfect for next Spring's GTSports Proxy though

Well I just manged to superglue my finger to a tyre as I was gluing it onto a hub. Had to cut it loose with a scalpel.
Thankfully I think there is more tyre attached to my flesh than flesh attached to the tyre.
I love puttering with gears

I keep a bottle of nail polish remover (acetone) handy when using superglue just for this kind of emergency. If you act quickly before it fully cures it can save you some pain.
