The year of living lazily

[Gary Brantley]

Okay, I'll embarrass myself by admitting that I've only finished one scale model in the last year. Not too surprising considering how hard it is for me to actually sit down and get to work on them. I do have two aircraft models that are very close to completion and hopefully will be done soon. I have a bunch of finished models that have yet to be photographed as I want to use the airport in nearby Rockdale, and I want a certain "type" of day and lighting for the photos I have in mind. I'm hoping that I can load up five or six models for the 20-mile trip down there.

So, the world's slowest modeler shows off his one completion for 2023. It was the ancient Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog, in ARVN service:

Well, you did a bang up job on the one kit you did finish Gary! That is a gorgeous looking Tank and figures!

[LyleW]

Yep, that is a beauty and wonderfully crafted!

[keavdog]

It's a good one though! Very nice - and love your outdoor pics.

You may have only completed one build in 2023 Gary, but man what a build! That is some superb work.

Thanks Chris, Lyle, John and Carlos! I sure appreciate your kind and generous words. Heaven knows, I need all the motivation I can get!

One is better than none. Love the tank photos.

[Gary Brantley]

You are so right. Thanks a lot, Tom! I appreciate it, dude.

Wow Gary, that looks great! I'd take high quality over quantity any day.

Thank you, Robert! Mighty nice comment, but I would love to "up" my production rate. Maybe 2024 will be that year...
