Hi folks.
I know we still have 10 days to go this year, but with work and family commitments I’m unlikely to get anything else completed before we roll into 2023. Here is my “Completed Builds” portfolio for calendar year 2022. Some were old (some VERY old ) shelf queens, some started and finished this year.
Aston Martin DB5 (Doyusha kit in 1/24 scale) - Completed January 16
57 Chevy Nomad Limo “2-Mad” (Revell-Monogram kits x2 in 1/24 scale) - Completed February 26
51 Chevy Convertible (AMT kit in 1/25 scale) - Completed March 5
55 Corvette (Converted from Monogram 53 Corvette kit in 1/24 scale) - Completed March 27
Willy’s Jeep Military version (Hasegawa kit in 1/24 scale) - Completed April 14
Willy’s Jeep Fire version (Italeri kit in 1/24 scale) - Completed June 6
Austin “Tilly” RAF version (ACE Models kit in 1/72 scale) - Completed June 7
51 Chevy Fleetline (AMT kit in 1/25 scale) - Completed July 17
Clerget Rotary Engine from Sopwith Camel (Hasegawa kit in 1/8 scale) - Completed September 2
Willy’s Jeep Civilian version (Italeri kit in 1/24 scale) - Completed September 9
Completed 10 builds. I didn’t hit my target of 12 for the year (I was hoping to finish 1 per month and clean up some of the WIP pile), but I feel very satisfied in that I have worked on developing my skills with several techniques and products that will be applied to future builds.
Many thanks as always to everybody who has supported my rambling posts and bench shenanigans along the way, with suggestions, advice, critique, or just a thumbs up! Every little piece of input is very much appreciated.
Please feel free to add to this thread (or create your own) as I would love to see a summary of our combined AutoModeler crew efforts for 2022.
Cheers, D
