BIG X Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is my second yearbook and what a year it has been. I've shrunk my efforts to 1/72 or 1/76 this year and worked towards a mad idea that @Lawzer put into my head for a Pontoon Bridge diorama. Anyway - here we go - it's a bit of a 'journey'...

Mike Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's almost too wee! Good work all-round Steve. Especially that pontoon bridge, which you already know cost me nostalgia money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventora3300 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We were on that journey with you! Excellent builds and models, Steve, and more than a year's worth of laughs along the way. The church with interior lighting was my favourite, or was it the motorised and weathered windmill, or.... and I've got all your top tips tucked away for later....All the best, Mike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Excellent collection for the year BIG X. You really have a lovely distinct style and I'm looking forward to seeing your Pz.IV STGB project! Kind regards, Stix 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That's an excellent big little army Steve and I'd forgotten how good that diorama looked – especially the canal. Unfortunately I've been a bit too busy to drop into some of your more recent builds, so it's good to finally see them in all their plasticy glory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix 'Style' - isn't something I associate with my adventures - it's just 'close your eyes and hope for the best' most of the time. I'm really looking forward to the Pz.IV GB - I've set a couple of starter threads up - but I 'm still too scared to look at the Revell kit in detail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ozzy - next year could be a good one - with the D-Day GB on the horizon I really fancy a mad diorama of some description - but I need to concentrate on my 'tiny panzers' for now Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some fantastic subjects for builds next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiff guy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 a good year especially loving the diorama. Glenn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I don't really pay much attention to armour which, I'm beginning to realise, is probably a huge mistake; I LOVE that bridge and the canal. And those Bren carriers. Super work. Something tells me your D-Day thing is going to be totally bonkers; I'll be glued to the GB section next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Loved watching the church, windmill and pontoon bridge come together! Sadly I never completed the Airfix Girder bridge I started for the GB, maybe next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
