I had a fairly productive year buildwise for 2022. I was even able to squeeze in one more than last year.

My first completion of the year was this Academy 1/35 M51 Sherman





Followed by an Italeri Crusader III AA Tank, built in three four hour sessions for completion with 12 hours





Next was a “shelf of doom” completion, the Dragon T-72M2, aka T-72B w/ERA





and then a Dragon 1/35 M48A1 “Elvis Tank”





Then for my wingy thingies

First up, a 1/48 Hobbycraft F8F-1B





Next was a 1/48 Tamiya F2A-2





And then I was able to finish up these last two on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve….

A 1/48 ICM Mig-3





and another “shelf of doom” project, a 1/48 Monogram P-40B





a fine way to close out 2022

Great stuff! Love watching how your work (which was great) Just keeps getting more bettererer!

Good stuff Carlos!

Great Work Stik. That M51 is gorgeous -- almost makes me want to build a tank ...

A great year.

Awesome work Stik!

Very nice. Must build more wingy things and less targets

A nice collection for 2022. Now build more wingy things and cars that go fast fast.

Absolutely superb builds Carlos!

Many thanks to one and all of you!

That’s my aim Lyle. Each year a bit better than they year before.

It’s just my photo editing… it hides the worst stuff

This past year was an even split… this year I need to throw a curveball in there and throw off the ratio…

You are far too kind Stuart. But they sure are better than 20 or 30 years ago.
