66Foxtrot Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Here's what I completed in 2022...9 pieces (1.3/month). Certainly not as prolific as my years in the 2000s, but I've learned to slow down and address the minutia more closely. Still, I feel like the older I get, and the more experience I gain (20+ years not counting the 10+ as a kid) the worse I get. I suppose with my busy work schedule and Homelife, 9 is pretty damned good. Goals for 2023 include mastering the Cameo Silhouette 4 plotter/cutter, as the plan is to mask/paint as many markings as possible. Also, a 1/32 Bf-109 extravaganza with all the Barracuda Cast resin detail parts made for this particular kit. Cheers!

ghodges Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 That looks like a most excellent year to me! Although the masked and painted markings add much to the finished project, they have to slow you down too. As for getting better with age and experience, I've found that after almost 60yrs of building models I have NOTHING down to a science, so don't feel alone in that! Congrats, and thanks for sharing with us! Gil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 James, that is a highly respectable model count, especially given the incredible quality of all of them! You may feel that your skills are not improving but your work still far outshines mine, even after almost 52 years of continuous building! I can only boast quantity over you; I'll never be able to match this quality! After seeing these, I can't wait to see what you do next year!! I love these year end reviews, hopefully more people start posting theirs too! It is such a thrill seeing all the models people built in a year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
