Outstanding work Steve ...I am still impressed on how well you made those 1/144 look. Every build looks amazing...you know I love you water dio's.

Happy New Year friend...and you are correct, this is your year.

A cracking line up there Steve. Your water effects are amongst the best i have seen, and the chipping on the Zero is still impressive.

I had not seen the Ironman figure before, really nice work.

Best of luck this year, hope the transplant comes soon.

Thank you Hunter and Bish, I plan on doing a few more water builds this year as well as more armor. One armor piece will be in a water scene 

Impessive as always.  Followed most of them, but a couple there I missed.

Hope you were able to bring and find room for most of the bench.  Hoping your turn comes quickly and your recovery is short.

Prayers and best wishes my friend.

Thank you GH, I was able to safely set up the bench as well an ample supply of kits. I'll be starting on my first of the year today.

That is a dad gum impressive line up Steve! I missed a couple of them but all are outstanding. I’ll need to step up to the plate this year to get even somewhat close. Good thoughts for your transplant bud!

Steve

I have been in awe of your builds during the past year; so many, so well done and you're always going forward with techniques. You are an inspiration!

Good to hear that you're in line to address your health issues. My sincere wishes for a speedy resolution and recovery.

Keep on showing us how good scale modelling can be!

TJ, Steve and Mike, thank you for the kind words.

Steve

Wow, all 18 really look great.  I particularly like the 1/700 Hornet and the Macchi! Bring them by to the next meeting, I’d love to see them!  I think you may have brought some arctic temps down with you!  

They say it's quality,not quantity, and yet you manage both. Hard to beat your water dios, all damn impressive. Fingers crossed for your wait.

Thanks MM and Templar.

Chad unfortunatly those 2 builds are still living in Boise. They both won First Place in their catagory at the contest last year. I beleive your right about the weather, I must have brought it with me.
I meet Robert at HT and I will be there this Saturday.

An excellent batch of builds for this past year! Your work is as impressive as ever. Once your procedure is done and you’re on the road to a complete recovery, I’m sure that you will grace us with many more outstanding builds in the coming years.

Holy cow, Steve!  I have followed many of these builds, but not all.  I am in awe of your skill with the smaller scales, and the water dios are incredible.

Glad you were able to bring the bench and kits.  Without them, I would fear for your sanity.   

Hope the transplant is soon, and recovery quick.

output and beauty , beautiful work steve . would love to see you do a how to , on your water mate . [gee there is a lot of steve's on this forum lol ] . 

Stick, D and Steve, thanks. I have been wanting to do a water tut on YouTube but every time I want to start I'm not sure it's going to turn out well but when I'm finished I wish I had LOL.

I have a few water dios I'm planning this year so I'll have to record one.

BTW I was told this morning that I've placed 3rd on the transplant list so it should'nt be too much longer now, then I get my life back.

Increadible work!  I especially love the Spitfire.

Steve, I pray that "you get your life back " with out any complications or undue pain. You have been and still are an inspiration in modeling and in courage to us all. All the best to ya Bro.

Really wonderful builds Steve. Love the Folgore. Best of luck on your surgery.

Steve great models great inspiration and I hope you all the best in your upcoming surgery my prayers are with you.

Well Steve, just hit a brick wall here trying to pick a favorite...........Awesome work on all

Amazing work there Steve, thanks for posting this I've only seen part of them. 

Hopefully you'll be up for the transplant soon and the surgery and recovery will go off with flying colours. 

All GREAT models and good presentaion to boot!

(That third one...isn't a thumb!)

Great job, Steve!

Very productive year, and excellent work! I've always liked your water scenes. So much so, that you inspired me to try creating some myself.
