Year in review (2025)

As the year is getting close to a wrap, I thought we could all share our 2025 completed projects.

It feels particularly important to me since it’s my first year of modeling in 20+ years, and I’m rather happy with how my projects turned out!

Here are mine (photos below)

1- M151 Mutt from Canadian UN forces in Lebanon (1/35 Tamiya)

2- 1/32 wrecked Bug (1/32 Revell)

3- Honda t-2000 during harvest (1/32 Arii)

C&C welcome! Can’t wait to see yours.

Thanks @Rabbits , well done! The Centurion AVRE was a dream of mine when I was young. I don’t do military models anymore, but I still really like its look!

Here are my 2025 builds. It has been a pretty fruitful year, well the first half anyways.

M149A2 Water Buffalo - 1st Full 3D Self-Printed Build

M1165 GMV conversion build

M163A2 Vulcan ADA piece in Operation Desert Storm (ODS, '90-'91) (w/full interior)


M58 MICLIC with tracks (fully 3D printed)

M1083 Armored Prime Mover w/M777A2 howitzer Ukraine



I slowed down in the second half of the year and have been working on the M3A3 CFV Maintenance Diorama since late June. So far I have the Brad done and have started on the base and accessories.



After the holidays and the kids and grandkids go back home, I will be able to get back to my bench and finish up the M3A3 Maintenance dio. I have a few jeeps lined up next after it. Then we’ll see what comes next

2025 has been a most productive year for me. A bunch of shelfqueens got finished, some restauration/repair projects, some in progress and a bunch of completely fresh builds; 17 in total!

First the shelfqeens:

An Academy/AMT/Italeri kitbash

And Rommel’s Sd.Kfz.250/3 Greif

Then some repair and restauration projects.

AFV Club’s Scorpion, originally a 1999 (I think) build

And a Morris C8 by Mirror Models, an incomplete and partially built gift

Followed by a similar incomplete and partially built M5A1 in 761st colours

The some finally done kits

M3A1 Stuart “Honey” by Airfix

An M1A1 USMC Abrams Dragon/Trumpeter kitbash’

Masterbox Astra Militarum inspired anti-armor trooper w/ ammunition droid & GW Inperial Knight Warden conversion

And Academy’s M998 w/ DR250 bike. This one is the only failure this year. Fit was bad. Colours and weathering did not come out good.
