SPA Modeler

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.


Dragon 1/350 USS Chicago SSN 721


Revell Germany/Italeri 1/35 M113


Dragon (Alan) 1/35 SU-76M


AMT K'T' Inga Class Klingon Battle Cruiser


Testors (Hawk) 1/48 Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka


Glencoe 1/48 Oeffag Albatross D.III


and honorable mention to this for the base work done this year

Dragon 1/35 Chinese "Volunteer" Dshk and crew

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.

Good show, Stik!

I missed most of those....just cuz I don't venture far from the aircraft hooch. Nice to see them.

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. 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. Hell, I even used Silly Putty for masking for the first time this past year...

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... But the Tiffy, that was my kick off project in 2015...

wow, what a great mix of supbjects!

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)!
