John's 2023 production

Post by jeaton01 »

I had thought my production was rather slow this year, but putting it all it one place it doesn't look so bad. All that ground equipment and the associated figures did use up some time. The group photo is all stuff I did myself, the Sea Fury my grandson Alex and I built together. I did the masking but he's getting to where he runs a pretty mean airbrush at age 7.

The last one is one that was built for me by Howard Weaver. I have had a stack of Tamiya 1/32 F-4J's for some time and he really likes to build Tamiya F-4's, so I took 3 J's to him in kit form and got one back, as you as see built to a very high standard. I am shamefully proud of it and know that I got one heck of a good deal on this transaction. I have a few models that have been gifted to me, but this is the first one someone has actually built for me.

A beautiful collection. Magnificent work.

Fantastic production, John. It's always good to hear a youngster getting the hang of using an airbrush under your guidance.

Man that is one heck of a year’s worth of builds there John! And all prime quality too!

Wow, That's some serious model building you got done John! Very nice looking builds! I agree, that is a cool deal you got on that Tamiya Phantom and it does look quite well done!
