2024 Completed builds

[moon puppy]

Post what you got, might take me a minute, got supper on the stove. I think I had a pretty productive year myself!

 

[moon puppy]

Beef stew with Jiffy mix bread.

So I got a Mustang finished up in Jan so I might have counted it last year but I'll take that beating.

Then it was off to the races with the Gee Bee and the DeHavilians

Again I'll brag about these SBS models.
I'm going to count the Lee

I got a ME 262 in there somewhere but I don't find one of the finished photos.

Pretty dang good productive year for me. Makes a difference having a work bench up and running.
What'chall got?

[moon puppy]

Quality over quantity Martin. As long as you're building.

[moon puppy]

What a productive year Gary. Well done sir!

[paddy]

Strange year for me As i struggled to find a genre , i seem to be coming down on the car/bike scene because of the scale, i like 1/12 as its within my range to scratch build a bit if i want.

started the year with italeri's Bugatti 35B and my first real attempt at a base other than just grass

A Revell Porsche 365 for a mates wife so he didnt have to buy her the real thing

A couple of jerry's in 1/48

the obligatory bike

A finally ferrari 312T

In memorial
A second FW190 that died on the slab during heart transplant ( i couldn't get the engine to fit)
An e-type jag that that turned into Frankenstein's monster ( or more like Herman Munster)
A Pocher Rolls that is currently on life support in the morgue while i try and develop the surgical skills to resurrect it.

thanks to everyone for putting up with me, my moans, my rants and highs and lows (what highs they shout )

[centaur567]

Great work!! Museum pieces for sure. Gary S.

 

[moon puppy]

Really diverse lineup Paddy. Works of art.

 

[Rhino]

It's been educational and fun to watch your builds! Jolly Good!

 

[Impisi]

This, Paddy, makes me speechless, what a collection in what a super quality

 

[Heavens Eagle]

I just had my MMM build, Have been working on my Ju88 and working to get things done on it to close up the fuselage. Have a bit of scratchy stuff to build for the tail well to do that, but am working on it.

I was fairly happy with how this turned out overall. I hated the kit turret guns so got the Master Model brass barrels and they made the difference.

 

[moon puppy]

And a fine finish it is Paul.
