That total 34 vehicles that came out of the Motor Pool for my Armies. Add the ships, boats and aircraft and we’ve got a total of 54 Models finished for 2022 for myself. If we add in the two commission projects I did, it amounts to 56 finished models for the year. Quite a productive year if I do say so myself!



So that completes the year end Pass in Review of all Maddog Manufacturing completed Models.
My apologies for the poor quality of some of the pics, I’m working on improving that.

Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

You, sir, are a model building machine! What an impressive output for one year!

I haven't finished one model yet this year...but getting closer.

Wow!! That's a lot of work - and great stuff. Love the F-27 - got one earlier this year.

Wow... I knew you did a lot but didn’t know you’ve done 56 in all for 2022.

Holy sprue cutters Batman!!!! 59 completions this year, including three commission builds!!!??? That’s a rate of better than one completion a week!!!




The Duke of 1/72 indeed!

Now of all those choices, I gotta pick the AH-56 Cheyenne as a favorite. Such an awesome machine that was ahead of its time.

I can only dream of completingd that many in one year. And all done really well

Wow guys! Thanks!

Gary, thank you. I just try to keep busy! Keep plugging man, your work is always well worth the wait!

Thank you John! I look forward to seeing your F-27 next year.

Thank you Blacksheep! I was surprised by the count as well!

Thank you Carlos! It does help bringing about 7 to 10 models to the paint stage and then airbrushing them all at the same time. I too love the Cheyenne, Someday if I can get enough references and pic; I'd like to get another and build it with a full weapons loadout, as well as all the other additions they had planned for this (most of which went on the Apache)

Thank you Johnny! Keep the dream alive my friend! Your work is so fantastic to look at. I appreciate the compliment very much!

Fantastic work Mark!

Thank you Mike! It does feel good looking through this again. I had actually forgotten about five or six of them!

Bloody hell Mark - that's a huge amount of work! Very welldone!
