ewahl Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 A year ago I opened this question on the DF. There were many replies, and the choices of models were diverse. Here's a summary of the ONE model that MUST be built in 2011? If you did build it, post a picture of it on this thread so we can see it. Thanks to all who joined the brave forecasters.

ghodges Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Nope! My Saratoga is still on the shelf! I don't have any place to display it until I build my new display case. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aldrich Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Arthur, Many of my reference photos looked like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ed, Thanks for digging this one out. Great topic. I only finished two in 2011, one of which was one of my halfway started models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRatzenberger Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nope, to either. I am particularly ashamed that I did not finish the Rolls Royce. Neither are on the 2012 "must-build" list unless I get really, really, and very unnaturally, productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I finished mine with a couple weeks to spare. That means something considering what I went through! I finished this in the second week of December. these pics show it at my December IPMS meeting. Here it is: Here are some closeup shots: Now hopefully I'll get the Dora done as well.
