Jaw dropping work for 2021 Mark. I too love the An-124 and the Fokker, but I'm a wingy guy
That's a lot of quality work there for sure.

Re: The Duke's 2021 Year in Review.
Thank you John, I appreciate the kind words. I think you'll like this year then if you're a wingy guy; I resolved to finish more aircraft this year....
And ships...

Have you ever thought your ultimate goal should be 5,000, Mark? I have to say I like the An-124 the best, but it's an education just reading your descriptions of all the different models.

Re: The Duke's 2021 Year in Review.
John, that would be cool to reach that total, but despite my speed and productivity; I doubt I'll make it that far. To let you know how far I am from that, here's my total count of completed models of all types and genres: 1605 as of the last completed models at the end of the year.
The breakdown for this count is:
1/72 scale Aircraft (including helicopters) -> 455
1/72 scale Armor -> 835
Ships and boats (Scales from 1/720 to 1/72) -> 285
1/24 scale automobiles and trucks -> 8
Sci-Fi and Real Space -> 5
Buildings and bunkers (HO/OO and 1/72 scales) -> 15
Miscellaneous Models ( Figures and others not included above) -> 2
One of those two Miscellaneous Models is a 1/8 scale Legend of Sleepy Hollow figure, the other is a 1/1 scale Colt 45 Peacemaker pistol.
So you can see I have a very long way to go for 5 Grand. My biggest goal is to break 1,000 armor and vehicle models in 1/72 scale. After that, I'll just keep going until I can't go any more just to see what I end with.

Re: The Duke's 2021 Year in Review.
Oops! I forgot one that I'd finished last year. It is a real crappy job but at least this dog of a kit got done!
This is the IBG Diamond T Wrecker, poorly finished back in November... but finished:
Maybe someday I'll get another one and try again to do it right.
