Some great builds there Steve. I do like the effects you are able to get, like the waves on the Indy and the flames from the T-72. The wreck dio was just brilliant to watch. I really like the 24 pounder as well.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Wow. Outstanding each and every one. Now I have to add to my New Year resolutions. If it weren't for the name plate I would've thought that the " Indy" was a still from video.

Steve,

Great looking builds. I really like the "Indy" and T72 dio's. The Federation Hover Tank is pretty cool too. Again Steve great builds and can't wait to see what you do in 2016.

Great work.  I followed the Indy, Musashi, and the tank builds, and like everyone else am impressed with the effects you are doing.  As for dabbling, I only wish I was in that class of dabbling.Smile  Very well done.

Steve - Shazam, all of them are just great builds. My faves are the Blue Impulse and the destroyed T-72. Those flames and smoke are TOTALLY believable, I have no idea how you managed that so well, you're really a builder of excellence.

Thanks for the post and photo's. I hope you're feeling well and managing your health issues successfully. Best Regards and have a great New Year.

Wow, Steve.  You're certainly not afraid to push the envelope.  A tank destroyed, the ocean floor deathbed of the Musashi, and the Indianapolis in rough seas.  Some very unique displays.  Looking forward to seeing more in 2016.

   I love year end summaries, and your's is exceptional.  Hard to pick a favorite but my winner is your Indi.  I feel the need to put on a coat and say a prayer for the crew every time I view the model.  Thanks for posting.

I have to agree, the Indy is my favorite and best build yet, followed by the Musashi and hover tank. The hover tank was my first experience with using oils and I have never looked back.

Fantastic job, Steve! I followed many of these builds, but was not aware of your Auto builds (which are quite amazing too!) I guess you can not be labled a ship builder, a armor builder, or even an aircraft builder, but you are a true modeller! Looking forward to trying (LOL!) to follow all your builds in 2016!

That USS Indianapolis diorama is sick! I can almost hear Robert Shaw "So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb."
