G’day fellow styrenoholics! It really doesnt seem like 12 months ago I posted my “2022 Year In Review” and looking back over that thread the builds seem like last week
2022 - Year in Review - Automotive - KitMaker Network
Anyway, here we are again with a week or so to go and no prospect of anything further being completed. My mission statement for this year was simple, “2023 War on WIP!” and my stretch target was to complete 1 build per month along the way. End result was ok, I managed to clear 8 builds from the WIP list. There is one more WIP victim at about 95% as well, the Revell 1/28 Sopwith Camel is at rigging stage now. I also started and completed my first 1/35 kit for the Convoy Group Build.
Me being me and completely unable to avoid squirrels, I added 2 more to the WIP list along the way ('65 Foose Impala and '57 Corvette), but the nett result of -6 on the WIP list works for me
Enough rambling, here’s my 2023 Year In Review (with month of completion)
Monogram 1/24 '56 Corvette (January)
Italeri 1/24 Opel Blitz Fire Truck (March)
Hasegawa 1/48 P-47 Razorback Dual Build (April)
Revell 1/25 '57 Chevy El Nomado (May)
Italeri 1/35 Chevy CCKW Water Tanker (June)
ICM 1/48 P-51B (July)
A couple of months here focused on the Sopwith Camel, by far the oldest WIP in my stash at somewhere around 1995 starting point
Revell 1/25 '57 Chevy Bel Air Convertible (November)
AMT 1/25 '59 Chevy El Camino (December)
And to finish off a snapshot of where the old Camel is at . . . .
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 2023.
Cheers, D
