Jaw dropping work for 2021 Mark. I too love the An-124 and the Fokker, but I'm a wingy guy
That's a lot of quality work there for sure.

Thank you John, I appreciate the kind words. I think you'll like this year then if you're a wingy guy; I resolved to finish more aircraft this year....

And ships...

Have you ever thought your ultimate goal should be 5,000, Mark? I have to say I like the An-124 the best, but it's an education just reading your descriptions of all the different models.

John, that would be cool to reach that total, but despite my speed and productivity; I doubt I'll make it that far. To let you know how far I am from that, here's my total count of completed models of all types and genres: 1605 as of the last completed models at the end of the year.

The breakdown for this count is:

1/72 scale Aircraft (including helicopters) -> 455
1/72 scale Armor -> 835
Ships and boats (Scales from 1/720 to 1/72) -> 285
1/24 scale automobiles and trucks -> 8
Sci-Fi and Real Space -> 5
Buildings and bunkers (HO/OO and 1/72 scales) -> 15

Miscellaneous Models ( Figures and others not included above) -> 2

One of those two Miscellaneous Models is a 1/8 scale Legend of Sleepy Hollow figure, the other is a 1/1 scale Colt 45 Peacemaker pistol.

So you can see I have a very long way to go for 5 Grand. My biggest goal is to break 1,000 armor and vehicle models in 1/72 scale. After that, I'll just keep going until I can't go any more just to see what I end with.

What can you say, astonishing amount Mark !

Thank you Kari!

Oops! I forgot one that I'd finished last year. It is a real crappy job but at least this dog of a kit got done!


This is the IBG Diamond T Wrecker, poorly finished back in November... but finished:











Maybe someday I'll get another one and try again to do it right.
