Skodadriver Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 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 Dave G Brussels Airlines (Cityjet) Sukhoi SSJ-100 Zvezda kit with Drawdecal decals and Authentic Airliners windows.

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. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 These are all really nice, they are tempting me into trying an airliner myself, although I'd not match the quality on display here 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewP Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 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.
