Who am I kidding, I can't even get a good start of a new kit much less finish one so here's my round up.

For the Hummer campaign, don't know if I ever really finished it but close enough.

Guntruck...finished. :coolio

109-G6 came up short, no antenna wire and when I tried to add it...

Jap tank, over did what I intended to do but it's finished.

 

[Iron Mike]

Looking good! Who said a gun truck couldn't be finished?

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Luiz!

Bob, that s a great lineup. I would have been happy to call almost all of them finished if they were mine. Despite my quantity, yours outshines mine in quality!

 

[Frank]

All of the models posted here look amazing.
Production is not the end game, but it sure feels good to get something accomplished during the year.
This has been my best year since 2009.
Here are a few from my stash.

I had a great time finishing up some shelf queens and a few extra fast builds.
Still two days to finish the B-36 and maybe the Su-24
Frank
May 2019 be a banner year for all.

Nice work everyone!

I count 134 models completed this year. that's pretty impressive!

Gary, that is a remarkable lineup of masterfully built models. Excellent addition to this Thread.

134 models completed? That rocks! Let's hope more people post here with their Yearly Reviews to bump that number higher!
