Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Gideon tells me that I have completed 64 projects this year, with another five just needing finishing touches. That's ridiculous! This will also be the first year that I have completed something in every single groupbuild. So let's get cracking. I built a number of Mirages this year. Let's start with them. Five from the new Special Hobby Mirage IIIC kit Four from the Special Hobby Mirage F1 kit. Other manufacturers joined the party.

LorenSharp Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 A prodigious output. 64 projects? That's 1 every 5.7 days! So I''ll pose the obvious question.... Do you sleep? We're not worthy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 And finally, the two largest models this year. B-17G in 1/72 and a Tempest II in 1/32 And that's just about it! I have five P-47s on the workbench which just require finishing touches. I'll add them when they are done. There are also an Me410, Mig-29 and Lightning in progress with a very good chance that they will be finished by the end of the year. And let's not forget the Blitzenbuild. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchmirth Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) I’m wondering if your gallery had an end!! Just sublime, seriously dude what an output!!! I can see why you coined the phrase “build ‘em all”. Especially like the two at the end the b17 and tempest very beautifully executed. Do you have a favourite from this year?
