Forces of Valor KV2

And Italeri's AutoCannone on a R30 Truck

Maybe a couple more to add............maybe not :fencing

That being said, I am still way, way below my usual output for a year; mostly because of Dora.

Yeah,...Dora that stupid b*tch! :evil:
However I really enjoyed "her"!


Greetings,Ron.

I got off to a good start this year finishing three in the first three months but then fizzled out, anyway three is better than some of the past years and now that I have retired I will have more bench time available, we'll see what happens. So my three for the year were...

Zvezda 1/72 Petlyakov Pe-8

Special Hobby 1/32 He 100

Classic Airframes 1/48 B-57B

 

[razordws]

Looking forward to your end of year production show Duke.

Tim, good looking builds on both. Looking forward to seeing what else you've been plunking away on.

Gary, love the Pe-8. Need to dig mine out of the stash some day.

Greetings,Ron.

Not really a stupid b*tch; more like a real frightening, yet fun b*tch. She was the first model that scared me the whole time I was building her. I am enjoying having her done and taking her to local contests. Thanks Ron! Stay tuned; i hope to have more done soon.

Old Dog, I'd say you did great for the year. I especially love the Pe-8, maybe someday I'll get one too. Rock on guys!

Amazing pieces of work everybody, top class stuff

Glad I didn't give in to temptation 1 year ago when I saw a Dora 1/35th in a model shop. I settled for a Loki and a munition loader still in 1/35th :evil:

 

[ij001]

Forgot to add these 'Good ol' boys'.... also finished this year:

Derricke Cope's 1990 Lumina





Ricky Rudd's 1987/88 Buick





Dale Jarret's 1993 V6 Lumina





And my personal fave of the bunch, 'Handsome' Harry's 1987/88 Monte Carlo 'Aeroback'





All four finished within a few weeks of each other at the beginning of the year.

Wow, there certainly were some great looking kits built this year! Nice job everybody!

I like these threads because they allow you to see all the great builds I miss!

I started a few this year but really only completed two early in the year.

[White_Wolf]

Awesome job Phil, the BF looks awesome

 

[Duke Maddog]

Beautiful looking models guys! Excellent!

I did manage to finish two more, so I'll have a pretty good lineup for later.

 

[moon puppy]

Oh hell...who am I kidding, I'm not finishing anything in the next day so here we go.

Thunderjet 1:48 Revelle kit I think

The Lion Roar Halftrack.

Think the paint job ended up sucking but I can say that. I actually started this way back in Sept 2008.

Thanks to the Shelf Queen build, I got motivated to finish it out.

Eduard 1:48 Hellcat

Just wish I would have remembered to paint the inside of the cowl, if I had, I would have taken it to the show this year but..

Tamiya 1:48 Corsair

I don't know if I claimed the Corsair in last years builds, think I finished it durning the holidays but didn't' finish the base till Mar 13. Really nice kit to build!

Tamiya 1:35 PanzerII

Meager offerings to the Styrene Gods but I know I'll have two completions in Jan so good jump start on next year. If I hadn't farted around with the NMF stuff so much I probably would have gotten some more in.

I look at this and think how close I was...

:snoopy

OH! the one I'm most proud of finishing.

The Korean Sherman

 

[White_Wolf]

I think I really like the half track

Great job MP

 

[ij001]

Great job MP

Me too.... What is it about the paintwork you don't like ??

[cb1]

awesome work!!

 

[moon puppy]

Thanks guys, the Halftrack paint job is just a mess, started 5 years ago and tried several different techniques on it, just turned into a jumbled mess, then I tried to cover it all up with a whitewash that just compounded it. But it was a fun ride, I clearly got my money's worth from that thing!

[Iron Mike]

It's hard to believe 2013 is almost gone and I only completed one build. hmy: A string of eye surgeries has limited my bench time and made me appreciate my hobby that much more. Here's my completed build, the Panther for our Call To Arms campaign to fight cancer.

Best wishes to all for a wonderful 2014! :drinks
