Sensational li9ne up of brilliant masterpieces Carlos! I am always overwhelmed at how well you detail out everything and make it look so real.

As for a car; if you don't want to worry about a shiny paint job, you could always build an Army staff car... :hmm:

Tom, I built that other M46 Patton in the tiger scheme in 2020. The next US "tiger" tank that I would like to build would be a M4A3E8.

The Sophwit Camel is a really great build. We don't see so much of WW1 planes on our SPAM.

Kari, we sure don't see many WWI types turning up on SPAM. They can be quite a challenge, especially regarding rigging, depending upon the kit.

Remco, it feels really good to complete some shelf queens! That makes four since the move!

Mark, a staff car would work... :hmm: I have built plenty of jeeps... do those count? :giggles:

Well, I have built a handful of cars in the 50+ years that I have been building models, so cars in general don't really qualify for me.

Thank you sir! Blame the engine work on Mustang Joe and my finding the M47 Tech Manual online... :headslap:

Quite an impressive lineup, Carlos. And if I dare say so, your painting and weathering game improved noticable.

Incredible work, Carlos! Question—was this finished in 2021?

Maybe it was partially completed a year before than finished this year?

Torben and Bruce, thank you.

Torben, my only real new weathering technique that I'm doing more of is black basing. And that's only on some of my builds.

No Bruce, that LVT I built when it was a new release kit, around 2000/2001 or so. One of those buy it and build it kits. I just never took any photos of it until recently. One of many builds from that era that I'm working on photographing.

Another great year of builds Stik. The MiG-21/J-7 at the end of the year was awesome
