2020 Year end review

Chris I don't remember you finishing "Ye Ol' Pub and Yellow 12". I remember the start but not the finish. Did you post that here?
Impressive year for you my friend! :vgood:
 
You know we are quite a small bunch but there is some real talent here turning out professional grade results IMHO. Pauls 190 is class, always great to see a Jug Barney and Chris's HE111 is very nice and unusual as well.
 
I think I only have 4 completed so far this year, will have to double check! Might have 1 or 2 more if I can get my act together before the 1st!

A few from me :). 2020 has been my return to the fold year after a few years of no builds. Like a lot of people , covid has seen me staying in and with a lot of spare time available .. I dont expect much to change here in the England anytime soon. today my area has moved in to the tightest personal restrictions and we are no longer allowed to meet others or venture out except in emergencies so more time at the bench is inevitable :)

Really jealous of you guys. Hope next year will be better production for me. I got 2 weeks yet and a couple of candidates for completion. :soldier
 
So many fine models here, what a group!

I didn't think I built too many models this year but I guess I did. Didn't do very much R/C building though.

Tamiya 1/32 F-15C. I built three of these this year, all inflight, two C's and one F-15E. The last two await decals. A 1/8 square shaft of key stock suipports the model, inserted inside a square brass tube the runs from the tailhook to the front between the engine fans. The keystock is cloned out for this photo.

With grandson Isaac. I'll have a picture of Isaac on the day he doesn't find a way to screw up the picture! He's 6 now. He insisted this was the proper paint scheme for his HUP-2, and he made me shake hands on the agreement to paint it that way. Well, a contract is a contract...

And finally a Revell 1/32 F4F-4 done with my granddaughter Audrey. Next up for her is a Revell 1/72 PBY. Audrey is 8.
