Pass In Review! 2015

Post by Stikpusher »

This is my review of builds that I completed this past year. 1 more than last year, but not as good as some past years numberwise. But I think that my overall quality has improved a bit...

Monogram 1/48 Typhoon IB.

Some great builds there Stik, and a really interesting mix of subjects! I love the Typhoon but no surprise there as it's always been a favourite of mine. The M113 is very cool as well.

I hope 2016 brings you even more success!

Cheers

Gotta like that 439sqn. Typhoon, and the old Monogram to boot. They do build into a nice model.
The rest are quite the builds as well, displaying the modellers skill. Well done.

Nice. I like that base, too. Build more, please.

Well done stik. I can't believe I missed the Typhoon and the sub WIP threads.

Thank you for all the kind replies! Nothing makes me happier about building than feedback like this from fellow modelers. :dogwag: This was the first time that I had done a sci fi subject in 20 years or so and nearly double that for a biplane. As well as doing more bases this year than I have in the past 5 years combined. A good year of learning and expanding. :writing: Hell, I even used Silly Putty for masking for the first time this past year... :hmm:

I don't recall having a WIP thread for the sub, it was started for a GB on FSM but never quite finished. And then it sat sidelined for several years and two moves, so you only missed one... :headslap: But the Tiffy, that was my kick off project in 2015... :puzzle:

Thank you Owl. It was a lot of fun branching off into subject areas that I had not done in many years.

I remember this Typhoon, Stik, and some of the others. A great idea to let us see them here again!

The Tiffy looks so sweet, I like the tone of the colours chosen. How could you win a price for the Su-76 without the now modern light and shadow colouring, without using dozens of washes and the stuff? Just kidding, the Su-76 looks like a winner! A good proof that one can do a kit without following every new marketing path.

Testor´s Okha! I remeber having build the combo kit together with the V1 back then. Was fun to "fly" them around and have them dive to earth (bed)!
