[Tim A.]

Here are mine....most were reviews for either AMPS or IPMS, but a handful were for pure enjoyment.

Beautiful display!

I am happy you like it. I am never truly happy with my projects, I guess it’s that A type OCD affliction.

Hmm. What did I finish this year?

Being semi-retired alleviates that troublesome, time-consuming, full-time work and allows lots more model making mischief!
The plan was to wrap up the 1/700 HMS Audacity as well, but the jury is still (hem) out, as it were.

Love the float plane!!

I had forgotten about this build Tim. It turned out really nice. Today I watched a UTube video from an Australian armor museum that restored one of these such that it can be driven. It had no original engine or drive gear and they had to fabricate 3 of the suspension units. The engine they decided to put in it was a small car engine and the drive was done with a hydraulic pump and motors. It wasn't done to run around a whole lot, but they can move it around and drive it during their annual armor day.

I've watched it. Very interesting and shows how much brute force, heat and hard work it takes to restore these tanks.
