Skodadriver's 2021 Airliners

[Skodadriver]

I haven’t been as productive as usual this year.  The mojo crisis which had been threatening for some time hit me properly in the late spring when I found myself hopelessly bogged down with stalled or messed-up builds. I stopped building and came within an inch of quitting the hobby completely. I'm lucky that my wife is interested and supportive and after I'd taken some time out she suggested a "blitzbuild" of a simple kit to remind myself that I could actually finish a model. That led to the Air Wales ATR-42. Also at her suggestion I binned a load of models I knew I would never finish and basically wiped the slate clean. It was good therapy but bad for productivity!

 

Anyhow, enough of the soul-baring. I'm enjoying building again and the support and encouragement from everybody who has "liked" or commented on my RFIs is greatly appreciated.

 

Hope you enjoy my collection of 1/144 civilians and I'll see you in 2022

Me too.

All superb without exception. 

Not about to pick any favourite but,   I really like the Welsh ATR for obvious reasons and that Sukhoi is ruddy gorgeous.  Damn!!!.  Done it after all.

 

Seasons greetings and all the best for the new year.

A lovely looking line up there Dave, I've enjoyed your airliners during the year, they have got me buying a few & looking forward to some builds before too long.

These are all really nice, they are tempting me into trying an airliner myself, although I'd not match the quality on display here 😉

That's the way to do it. Show them who's the boss!

 

The ones that you finished are excellent.

Love your builds!

I built that SSJ-100 myself; it was one of the easiest, most enjoyable builds I’ve done in a looong time. Some pix:
