AndyC Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I had big plans for this year...some cracking GB's lined up and BIG plans for all of them...then we decided that it would be nice to move house, reduce the mortgage and render ourselves unto the vagaries of the English conveyancing system. All started OK and an offer was made and accepted within 6 days...packing away of model stuff started in anticipation of a move 6-8 weeks later. 8 weeks later, buyer pulled out after signing contract Process re-started and eventually after nearly 17 weeks, we moved. With work to do before modelling I reckon all-in-all I lost about half the year. The other story is this was the year I nearly built more non-flying things than flying things signalled by a move into 1/35 and 1/350 subs. Anyway, enough blether...here is all in order of completion...I did 21 in all - about 2/3rds of the previous year's. First up, my annual egg-plane fetish - SR-71 MiG-15 AH-6 Space shuttle P-51 The Airfix Icons of London - Lifeguard Trumpeter looking a little startled :-) (I put it down to inexperience in figures) Coldstream Guardsman Beefeater The next lot were ALL for the excellent Less than a Tenner GB - first up - 1/48 Testors 'Ike' in racing dio 1/48 Hobbycraft P-59A in USN garb 1/48 Testors Travel Air Mystery Ship 1/350 Hobbyboss Type IX-B 1/35 Tamiya 'Pink Panther' LR 1/350 Hobbyboss Type IX-C Next up - Training Types GB - 1/48 Kinetic T-45A 1/48 Kinetic KAI T-50 One for me - 1/48 Special Hobby Gloster E28/39 For the Korean GB - 1/48 Tamiya F-84G For me - 1/35 Kubelwagen in DAK colours 1/35 Mirage Hobby Polish Armoured Car 1934/11 1/35 Mirage Hobby Polish Ford TFc armoured car 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think you did very well despite the moving home debacle. Even thinking about moving gives me palpitations! Well done. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 A fantastic set of builds, the racing diorama being a particular standout, still a good output for the year, Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice wide assortment Andy. Don't know why I'm so fascinated with those egg planes, but those are some seriously decent finishes you have on them. The Polish armoured vehicles pop out too. Cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice to see such an eclectic mix Andy Normally I just don't 'get' eggplanes at all and my vote would go to the Mystery Ship, however that Space Shuttle is just so bonkers that it has to the winner!

georgeusa Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I think you did great on the amount of kits you completed; especially given the move. I too have a soft spot for the eggplanes. They are such a fun and enjoyable build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 If the year was frustrating it doesn't show on the models. Lovely egg planes, I have to try one of those some day. The air racers are my absolute favourites though, very nice builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for the comments all...I will be making a quick start to 2015 as I should have 5 egg-planes ready for inspection before I go back to work on the 5th January... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) So let's get this straight - You produce 21 models of this quality and it's a frustrating year! Wow...... I'm looking forward to your output in 2015 - house moves permitting! Seriously excellent model building! Hope you are suitably settled in your new abode and that you have a good model building area. Kind regards, Stix Edited January 2, 2015 by PlaStix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
