corsaircorp Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hello Dears, Well.... Huh not well at all.... First, I did'nt finish a Corsair this year.... Sound like a curse to me.... Second, 2021 is a year to be forgotten as soon as possible.... Very tough for me and all the members of CC' Castle... It looked like a great beginning since I finished this one in January... Here is my Yeager tribute at the time... And my band of ponies... Then, I make this sailor's bird.... RNDFF Hurricane... That was March.... I finished 2 Hurries that same month... A remake of my first try of this Malta recce Hurricane... Aaaaand First blow occured in April But I finished this one however...in June.... July.... August... September... Driving my old man to his last jump... My mother followed a week later... And I must confess that I'm tired to the bone... They lrft a complete mess behind them.... And I have to clean it up... Back to modelling It was November.... Aaaaand once again.... So, I have 2 almost finished kits, including a Corsair but the old mojo is flirting with the HMS HOOD.... Tomorrow, surgery for my great dane, getting a tumor out and waiting for the result.... Please 2021 let it go smooth... I have my burden.... I'm really sad that I can't show you more... 5 kits and only 2 sailors in it... I know, it's a shame.... Well Chin up !! Happy New Year to you all my friends !! I'll thank you both for the support offered, it has greatly helped me to cope with all these gales.... Fingers crossed, toes crossed too, it hurt but Who know !! Stay safe !! take care and scratch plastic, scratch more plastic !!! Huh !! It's windy today... Sincerely. CC 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It’s been a sad and tough year for you and I hope you are getting on top of it. I hope the BM massif has helped you in some small way through it (although maybe a medicinal amount of Chimay has helped too!). Heres hoping that in 2022 you have much happier times. Regards, Adrian (PS the builds look smashing too!) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Sorry to hear about your very tough year in real life. It's very hard to clean up after your parents pass. So very much to deal with. Even with that, your modeling year was far more productive than mine. Certainly maintained an excellent standard of quality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Alain, Even through these hard times you have still turned out a beautiful collection of models. Let's look forward to a brighter 2022 (and hopefully some shark-mouth Airacobras?!) All the best for the new year from my family to yours, Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Here is hoping 20222 will be much better for you Alain, you surely deserve that much. The builds you have presented are all top shelf too, I'll look forward to more of them next year. Take care mate, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.au Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Considering the challenges you’ve faced I think this is a remarkable set of completed models for one year. Here’s hoping 2022 treats you better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Crappy year Alain but hopefully 2022 will be much better and things will get straightened out. Great modelling out turn and a fine collection built. Only two sailors but he’ll next year you’ll be churning out Corsairs to beat the band... Good luck and Happy new Year me Ol’ China..

Guess how I know it ?? I wish you the best for 2022, for you and your loved ones !! Sincerely. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Nice builds, more than I completed. Very sorry for your losses. I lost both my parents recently too, just over a year apart, that was tough too, I thought that was too close together. I can’t imagine a week apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
