PlaStix Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have managed to drag a few over the finish line this past year despite life getting in the way at times. Every build was done in GBs. First one finished was mostly completed in 2019 in the T-55 STGB: Tamiya's 1/35 Tiran 5 The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE The vignette photos can be found HERE Next was another tank - this time: Tamiya's 1/48 US Main Battle Tank M1A2 Abrams The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE An aircraft build next in the In The Navy GB: Airfix's 1/72 Grumman Martlett Mk.IV The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE The vignette photos can be found HERE Quick build in the summer Blitzbuild GB next - only project where I used rattlecan red paint: Revell 1/24 Easy-Click System Kit - Porsche Diesel Junior 108 Tractor The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE Another aircraft this time built in the Spitfire/Seafire STGB: Airfix's 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.22 The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE Back to a tank in the T-34 STGB: Tamiya's 1/48 SU-122 Tank Destroyer The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE The vignette photos can be found HERE For the Battle of Britain GB I decided to motorise the prop on a Hurricane and include a bit of a vignette: Airfix's 1/48 ‘Ready for Battle' Vignette - Hurricane P3522 - GZ-V - Biggin Hill, August 1940 - The WIP can be found HERE The RFI can be found HERE The vignette photos can be found HERE This project is still in progress but should be completed by the end of the year - the Pz.III is complete but I am going to add a base and a figure or two. I will update the photos once it is finished. Tamiya's 1/48 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N - Tank No.04 Tunisia 1942 The WIP can be found HERE The 1/72 Panther Mk.V, which I had in progress in the Panther STGB, was actually finished yesterday (29/12/20). It's a Zvezda Snap Kit but I have added a few extra bits and bobs from the spares box plus some wire and mud products. Pz.Kpfw. V Panther Ausf. D - Panther Mk.V - No. 445 - Pz.Abt. 51 - 'Operation Citadel' - Kursk - August 1943 The WIP can be found HERE Lots more photos can be found in the RFI section HERE The Zvezda Snap Kit was a fun way to finish the year! A big thank you all the hosts of the GBs I have taken part in and all the fellow modellers who have taken the time to kindly offer advice or support in my threads. Without these interactions I know my builds wouldn't be what they are. Again - thank you. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix PS Hopefully I'll see some of you in the Pz.III STGB in February and also in the Less Than A Tenner GB starting in May. 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernst Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Amazing work Stix. Very inspiring to see how you can make some relatively new/undamaged vehicles look realistic and used. I really enjoyed your film. Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Top class modelling in every aspect! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the red Porsche Tractor, closely followed by your Panzer III. Keep on doin' what you're doin'... and all the best for 2021.

AdrianMF Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Gorgeous. I’m always amazed by your brushwork, but the SU122 is even more amazing than usual. The Wildcat is a little gem too. Do you have an instructional video out there? I’d love to see it if you do Happy Christmas, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
