As we all are, we are our own worst critics. I remain in awe of the skills on this forum and wish I were able to be better at it. I don't know why this year was so sketchy in terms of patience, getting better, less haphazard outcomes, but it seems that it was for me. Of these eight that were finished, there is not one I am happy with. Oh, the Bonanza died a horrible death and is now officially in the trash. the new decals kept tearing on me. So, the next couple of days will be spent cleaning and trying to make some sense of the mess that is my Piddle Palace, enjoying the work of my friends, and so on.

For 2022, I wish better health, continued good health, as much bench time as you can manage, many completed builds, but mostly I hope to still call you all friends in the coming year, too!

Here is the eight that were completed in 2021 (in no particular order):

Airfix 1/48 P-51

Tamiya 1/48 A6M5 Zero

Image

Somebody's 1/48 F-16

Image

Ancient Revell F-102...from a dear friend.

Another ancient kit, Hawker Hurricane...

Image

Atlantis Nautilus

Image

Revell 1/48 H-34 Choctaw

Image

AMT/Round 2 1/25 40' Freuhauf trailer

Lyle, I think you're being too hard on these. They all look terrific, far better than you make them out to be. That also a very respectable count as well.

Those are all nice, my favorite of them is perhaps also the H-34 but almost as good is the SPAM trailer!

Lyle, you sell yourself too short! That mustang really takes my fancy, and the rest of them are amazing. You should take pride in the fact that you finished them, despite them not all going the way you wanted.

Thank you kindly, gentlemen! I am hard on myself, but that’s how it is. Seems like it is always something. But, we shall carry on !!
