Mostrich, you are too kind. I appreciate it so much. I do like the hobby. This year should be fun!

All of these models look like they were piles of fun to build. To have that joy in your hobby is the most important aspect of committing to the builds.
I'm so glad you are having fun, Lyle. Looks good on ya. :shoutout:

Thanks, 59N....Yes, some were indeed piles. Not necessarily of fun, though. The armor was a good time.

Lyle, I just caught up with this. That is a respectable total with some excellent, and even phenomenal models. Way to go!

Looks like a good year of work to me... especially the DC-3 and the T-34 :shoutout:

Missed the CD-3, too. Shame on me... Monogram´s old but nice kits as the Dakota are real fun building them. I never looked for Trumpeter´s kit while having the Monogram one still in stash. Lyle, you are a brave man, braver than me, to do this one in silver finish!
I am with Mostrich that the T-34 really is one of your better builds in 2015. Don´t get me wrong: all shown builds show your dedication to building kits. I think I also see a learning curve and that you like what you do. Having fun is the stuff that keeps you rolling!

Duke, Stik - thank you for the kind words. That is the old Monogram DC-3. a pretty cool kit. I have six more, I think....including some C-47.

Thomas, thank you. I hope I'm getting better at some things. The T-34 was a great deal of fun. I'm proud of that one. Didn't even break much while it was being built.

That's a great looking bunch of builds - great work Lyle!

Cheers!

Again I say I don't know how you all do so many builds in a years time. 5 builds for me would be a milestone!!! Good show Lyle. :shoutout:

How did you end up with a D model Huey sample kit? I'd like to get my hands on one of those.

That is Lyle a great collection of 2015 builds!

And in my humble opinon, the later of the year, the better ones, especially the paintwork of course. LOVE the Wildcat, I ADORE the tank and i HOPE to see the Me-321 finalized one day!
