Deanflyer Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I was quite amazed when I added up this year's output that it was higher than last year's, standing at 10 completed models. All the time I've spent away from home and with several very long term projects being done, I'd have thought it'd have been my worst years for ages. Still, there you go. In chronological order, first up is the Revell 1/32 F-14 Tomcat built completely OOB: Then it was a Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire built as a MkII from my Dad's old squadron, 501: I joined in with the Airfix Starter Kit Group Build with a 1/72 Harrier. All that could be used was the paints in the kit, no filler, nothing. Here's mine after a coat of varnish after the GB ended. This wasn't one of my best results, and was pressed into the hands of a passing child at the Cosford Show, as I had no intention of keeping it: I had a moment of madness (no, really?) when I built the Revell 1/32 Venom as a Work In Progress demonstrator, showing all the main construction phases of a model on the one airframe: Then I went back to normality with a Trumpeter 1/48 Sea Hawk: Then I did a bit of silliness again for advertising purposes for Geoff Coughlin's web based magazine, converting one of his giveaway stress balls into an aeroplane: A narrative build was done for the same web mag of the Special Hobby Fiat BR20 Cigogna in 1/48 scale: Group Build time again, this time the What If? GB. This was a 1/72 Merlin engined Canberra which went on to win the GB poll: Then it was time to make amends for my Canberra blasphemy with a serious build of the Airfix 1/48 Canberra PR9, built to show off Mike Reeves' resin replacement tail parts: And then squeezed in at the last minute, a Tamiya 1/24 Mazda MX5, built as a well used and abused 1991 example: So that's the year's output from me. Here's to next year! Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Superb. You sure you didn't just apply a bicycle pump to an innocent T-6 for build no.6??? I too particularly love the Sea Hawk, but they are all beautiful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Great Work, Dean. Nice to see a crack modeler throw convention to the winds every now and then with something crazy. Everyone up our way loves the Lanberra. Happy New Year! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
