Year End Review 2016

Mike I think you took leaps and bounds in skill improvement this year!

Thanks Dr. John...I consider that high praise coming from you. Hope the holidays are kind to you and yours....I'll be heading up north close to you on Monday to see my family :)
 
2016 did not bring as many completed models as I would have hoped.

I started a couple of projects that include totally new stuff, buildings and water in particular. These won't be finished before the end of 2016 :(

The truck is ready though, the diorama is far from being finished.

The submarine - must replace the rigging with proper steel wire. The thread coming with the kit wasn't the best idea ever. Reshaping the water at the moment. Photos look ok I suppose, but from upclose isn't what I wanted.

Now for the finished stuff.

Nice builds guys. I'll add my attempts here in a few days. Going to see if I can get the CTAIII builds wrapped up by year's end. :java
 
There is a Koala Bear There is a beach all I saw was models and a BUKINI - did I mention I saw a bikini yet? :eek:ldguy
 
Quality over quantity there Luiz. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of. I can only hope to get close to your standards someday. :good:

I love that little ME 1099! :love
 
Well I had to check also guess I started a lot of builds ... meaning full well to finish some ...

This one is being rebuilt ... better but it was on the table at Eagle Quest 2016 finished ... the rear axle fell off ... then I'm adding skylights ... lookout EQ 2017 !!!

I guess Losing my Buddy .. :( ... just knocked the wind out of my sails ... looking back it has been a difficult year for Me ... and I hope 2017 is much better ...
 
Those are some excellent and respectable lineups gentlemen! Right on! All of your work makes my OOB models look like toys. You guys rock!

Still working on a few; hopefully I'll be able to add a couple more to my total. Stay tuned.
 
Okay, I've gone as far as I can with my works in progress, and now I can post my 2016 Year in Review. I'll post these in the order that they got completed.
