So having just spent an enjoyable hour or more reviewing everyone elses' year, here's mine.... It's actually been a fairly good year for me, some dramas with paint and decals, but I can see some improvement on last year. I think I'll say it's all 1:24 unless stated... The Revell Krupp Titan with some wiring and piping in the engine. I really enjoyed this one ![]() ![]() The Aoshima MGB oob Nice build. ![]() ![]() Airfix 1:32 Ford Escort. Not an easy one. Mine looks like Mr Jones has just been and collected some crazy paving for his garden. Rear suspension... ![]() Revell's 1:144 Dornier Do.X out of the box (Was built on the Lake, not too far away). ![]() Revell Corvette with added etched from Model Car Garage, but only three wheels. ![]() Monogram Mustang GTP with a little added cabling. ![]() Fisher Porsche 917LH Martini. Decals were a disaster and the wheel fell off. ![]() To try and find some new energy, I then decided to try and clear up some of the half finished kits lying around the place... Fisher Ferrari 512S Coda Lunga. Vacform glasswork is not my strongpoint, but otherwise a nice build ![]() and just to finish the year off... Academy 1:8th bike. A fun build once, I got into it. Painted in a similar style to my own old racer. ![]() Revell Porsche 962C. Don't ask how many times I had to repaint this one to get it even half way presentable. ![]() Jaguar XJR9LM No22 from 1988 Le Mans. Matching the decals to the purple paint work is always a drama. ![]() Last up and squeezing in through the door, careful the paint might still be wet! Dapol (Airfix/Kitmaster..) 00 Scale Battle of Britain Class Biggin Hill. Not accurate, not one of my best, but after 12 Years in build finally finished. ![]() Eduard Spitfire 22. It's probably not an accurate shade of paint, but do you know what... I like it anyway. It's always a shame when these detailed cockpits get shut away.... ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking. |

Super stuff Nick! You've got some lovely stuff in there and some absolutely brilliant looking finishes. Think my fave has got to be the 917 (obviously! but I know how it fought you) with a special mention for the truck - tho' not enough stickers on it for me! Keep up the good work mate and happy new year to you. cheers Rick |

Thanks everyone. Glad you liked 'em. @Rick Stickers - The 917 is indeed a lovely shaped car. I think it's nicer as LH that as KH.Cheers, Nick |
