Rabbit Leader Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 What most of us can only dream about completing in probably two lifetimes, Tony has magnificently captured in a mere 12 months!! It is always a pleasure to view Tony's builds for their speed, accuracy and usual accompaniment of reference photographs included. Looking forward to another mammoth output in 2018. Best wishes and good health.. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Wow - what a year! Would like to see what you'd have done without the hospital stays and ill health - hope you have a better year health-wise next year and we get to see what you can do without such obstacles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Christ Tony! Your single handed attempt to remove every unmade kit of an RAF or Commonwealth type from the model shop shelves continues apace!! A truly stunning years work - again - and I love the way you always seem to find unusual schemes for many of your subjects too. Here's hoping 2018 bring you improved health; and thus plenty more models for us to gaze at. Cheers Jonners 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think last year I said ‘quality AND quantity !’. 2017 has been no different. I can’t pick out a favourite from them. Still in awe! Trevor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
