2021 was a good year for me modeling wise. Surprisingly I built more aircraft than armor this last year.
First up in aircraft, my Revell Germany 1/48 X-35 prototype
Next is my Monogram 1/48 Sopwith Camel
Hobbycraft 1/48 La-5, quick build for my great nephew
AA 1/48 Chengdu F-7B (Chinese built and modified Mig-21), a long time shelf queen
Hasegawa 1/48 A6M5 Zero, another multi year shelf queen
And for armor…
My AMPS 12 Hour Challenge build of the ESCI 1/35 Leopard 2A3
Testors/Italeri 1/35 M47
So an average of one completion every two months. Although I actually finished most at the beginning and end of the year, not in the middle. This next year I aim to increase my completions… Thanks for looking

Need some boats and cars. But, wowser what a collection!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Stikpusher 2021, Pass in Review
Man I still really like all that detail you put into the M47 engine compartment.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Nice collection, Carlos. Looking at your Camel brought to mind the Aurora SE-5A I built at the same time. I'd forgotten all about it. Fun modelling.

Lyle, Clint, John, & Tom, thank you.
Yeah, I do need to build another ship sometime soon. Not really a car modeler, so not sure when I would take on one of those…LyleW wrote:Need some boats and cars. But, wowser what a collection!
I enjoyed doing that, and I sure needed to show off that engine work. But I don’t plan on doing that again… My next M47 will have a closed engine deck, and no back dating like this one.Floki wrote:Man I still really like all that detail you put into the M47 engine compartment.
Yes, those classic Aurora biplane kits are fun to build. Not sure when I’ll build the next one, but I should build a French one next…jeaton01 wrote:Nice collection, Carlos. Looking at your Camel brought to mind the Aurora SE-5A I built at the same time. I'd forgotten all about it. Fun modelling.

Didn’t you do another Patton tank with the colorful Tiger on the front this year?

Re: Stikpusher 2021, Pass in Review
Well done Carlos, all of them very high quality builds!
The Sophwit Camel is a really great build. We don't see so much of WW1 planes on our SPAM.

Great builds Carlos! I can imagine it feels good to finish some kits from the “shelf of doom”.
