Only 4 I would count as completed, ok iffy counting the egg.

How y'all do?
 
Looking great Bob and I'd count the egg. That is a respectable count, especially givem the quality of all of them.

I'll be waiting for a few days before I post my year in review. I might get a couple more done before the end of the year.
 
Nice work Bob.
I only completed the Tu-128.
I need to finish up the 23 that I started as far back as 1981 - Nova C-141A.

And there it is, my 2017 Year in Review.

All 37 completed models.

Looks like I'm holding steady at 35+ a year now. Not bad.

I hope you all enjoy my parade of finished models, thanks for looking in.
 
2017 was a year of change for me, I left a job I'd had longer than any I'd ever been at, for one that allows me more time with my wife. I did manage to complete some builds, here they are.

As Porky always says "That's all, folks!"

Beautiful stuff guys.

Where's the 'Year End of Started Kits'? I'd be a winner in that one.

I think I'm stuck with my usual, 2 completed and one was the CTA build (if that was this year).

Been my most productive year ever (not much in the way of work for me - not a whinge just a fact), a few aircraft and AFV's but mainly cars for me this year, so I'll break this in to two posts.

You a building machine Mark. :soldier

Thanks Bob! I try!

Mike, that is an excellent lineup of some very masterfully built models. Way to go!

Ausf, those two look fantastic. As for the year end of started models; I think I'd give you some serious competition, given how many I still have in progress.

Ian, those are some magnificent models! Congrats on a spectacular lineup! I envy you your ability to do such fine bare metal finishes and smooth, glossy coats on your cars.

As Bob said, keep them coming guys!

Great job to you and everyone else! I'll get mine posted up here soon but it isn't much, 3 or 4 this year!
