triumphfan Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't usually keep records of what and when but have decided to make it a habit for next year. Going by dates of my pics on the PC, these are builds completed in 2014. Some of these were serious KUTA material. I think the XJ220 had been 90% complete for about 3 years! I also built 3 WW1 aircraft for a fellow IPMS Fenland member's memorial display. Sadly, these were not photographed. Not in chronological order but keeping to genre, more or less, here they are. Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR.XIX Trumpeter 1/48 Whirlwind Airfix 1/48 TSR.2 built for the Spalding model club 'What if' competition night. (it won) Airfix 1/48 Spitfire MkI Airfix 1/48 Seafire FR.46, FR.47 and F.XVII 'triple build'. I juggled all three on the bench at the same time! Miniart 1/16 Hermann Goering figure, built for a WW1 Memorial display Some cars now, my principle modelling genre. AMT 1/25 Lotus 29. I built both Dan Gurney and Jim Clark cars from the 63 Indy 500. Tamiya Toyota Supra and Hasegawa Mazda Le Mans for the IPMS F1 & Motorsport display at the Nat's (50 years of Japanese Motorsport) A pair of Fujimi Porsche 917's The Gunston car has decals form BVH in Germany. The 1970 LM winner is pretty much OOB. 1/24 Cooper T.51 resin kit from Fernando Pinto Modellos in Portugal. Turned out to be a tribute to Jack Brabham. Merit 1/24 Connaught B type. Pretty much only the top and bottom half of the body was saved. Oh, and the seat! Completed as the Rob Walker owned car. 1/24 Lola T.70 by Roaring Replicars (Richie Griffiths) I did a WIP on this but realised today that I forgot to post in RFI - Doh!! 1/24 Revell Shelby Cobra 'scene' with figures from the kit, Ken Miles and Caroll Shelby. A 1/12 driver figure to go with an upcoming Lotus 49 build - Tasman Series - squint and pretend this is Jim Clark.... Another Fernando Pinto kit, this time the Porsche 804 driven by Dan Gurney. 1/24 resin kit. Tamiya 1/24 Jaguar XJ220. Finally finished after spending a few years on the shelf of doom... Revell Mustang Fastback built for the IPMS Car & Motorcycle SIG 50 Years of Mustang at the Nat's. Finally for this year, my li'l Mini Cooper Britax racer.... Probably one of my most prolific years since childhood, I have had a lot of fun with my modelling this year Thanks for looking. Steve. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That's a cracking quality output and great variety too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That's some pretty significant output there fella! They all look great and it is very, well varied. I did like the Goering figure before he discovered wine, women and food in abundance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This is one of the most inspirational year books, fantastic work Steve, what a lovely collection of different subject genres. There is so much nice to choose from; the Spitfires capturing some highlights in the early MkI and the late Griffon Mk XIX, or the young Hermann Göring figure. But then we have the cars, showing such a lovely taste for fantastic subjects. You really make some great choices. How do one pick a favourite? Easy, the Porsche 804. Or no, the Salzburg 917, I mean the Connaught, or the Cooper... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 And I felt for sure I'd see a TR6 in the output. Great results here. That is some finish showing on the Mustang - drop dead gorgeous. ( Is she a 68 or 69? ) cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think it's really impressive to see so all those cars (which as far as I can see are quite time-consuming to build) painted, decalled and finished to such a good standard. Lovely. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
