Your Last Three Models

As some of you know, I have just joined the forums in the last week or so.  Having just got back into model building, I don't have 3 "last models" to share, but here's my first attempt at it after a break of many years.  Nowhere near the caliber of most of the models here, but for my first try after being away so long, I was happy with it.  Just trying to learn all the new things out there WRT paint these days.  Thank goodness for forums like this, and you tube!  So without further adooo, here's my 1/72 Hawk SBD Dauntless....

Just got round to checking Steves out, impressive water effects once again Steve. And as much as it pains me to say it about an Imperial vehicle, thats very nice. If only i could do that to a Spitfire.

Thanks John and Bish.

John, Hmm, I'd have to give that one some thought....It might involve resin.

Bish, here is my PT-76 in a river I made in 2018, it may give you some ideas. My techniques have changed some since.

Das Werks Faun L500

Hasegawa's 1/48 Scale SH-2 SeaKing

JJ Models 1/6 scale The Essence of Freedom

John, those are 3 very nice looking gbuilds.

I can't see Steve's at the minute, will check those out tonight. But i know his water builds are top notch. I have a German amphibious tank i want to going into a river, so i am keen on ideas on how to do the splashing water.

Wow 2x builds.  I'm a sucker for the A7.

Great water work.  Do you think this is possible?  How would you go about it?  I have the Trumpeter fire engine kit.

Nice John, Love them all.

Here are the last 6.

Academy 1/350 Oliver Hazard Perry.

Dragon 1/350 Spruance

Hasegawa 1/72 Nick

Hasegawa 1/72 A-7A

The old Revell Missouri built as a space battleship.

Bandai AT-ST destroyed and abandond

Here's my latest three kicking off the new year and hunkering down ;)

EDIT: latest 2, realized I had already posted the Sioux

Revell 1/25 rail - lots of after market stuff including the decals

1/48 Italeri H-13 /AH-1 Souix

And after waiting for a bit I finally got the replacement speed brakes from Hobby Boss - great service.

Thanks William.

Man, you are on a roll Mr. Bish. And that stuka looks just as good here, as on scalemates. Double thumbs up to you sir! And now for me to get my 3 done...

Very nice Bish!  I dig the Stuka

3 more from me. First 2 are from last year and 3rd one is my first completion this year.

The Airfix 1/600 HMS Belfast. I've had this kit since the mid 80's.

Dragon 1/35th Tiger.

And my 6th 1/72nd Stuka, Fujimi's Ju 87R-2.

Now to get 3 more done.

Nice work Scott!  The bipe is stunning - brilliant blue.

Corsair is great but can't beat the elegance of the Spitfire

Nice job Scott

It was a slow year for me.  But I managed to squeeze three out.  

FuzzDad - nice trio!  That spit looks spot on - and after 40 years :o

Ben - love your work - nice to see figures.  I really like the hoplite.

Joe - love the 454, especially the meats and the GL is stellar.  Blitz ain't to shabby eiter

I am amazed at the huge variety of models that modelers build. I am stuck in a rut just building aircraft. I need to branch out a bit.

Some very impressive work going on in this thread. I haven't posted anything in quite some time so I guess I'd better get on the ball.

I don't move particularly fast with my builds but I did manage to get three finished this year. The Arado 234 took 3 years to build . It was one of the most difficult builds that I've completed to date.

Completed in March---AMT C1500 454SS:

Completed in July--Arado 234 "Blitz":

Completed a few days ago--General Lee....ish Charger:

Been some time since I responded to this one:

Build something and keep this thread going....

Ben

Nice group, the Corsair stands out for me. 

LOL Thanks, liked your Sioux was impressed with your start to finish time on that. Nice looking cars. 

Nice models.  The churchill looks cool in white.  Winter campaign righ  ;)

I've still got to paint the Churchill it's been like this on the shelf does it still count.  " alt="" width="500" height="350" />

My latest 3

The only problem I had with it was attaching the wings. The entire wing, which is quite heavy, sits on 4 small struts in front of the pilot. The other struts on the side don't provide any support. There are 2 N shape struts that connect these two struts to the wing and they are very flimsy and they both broke as I was cutting them of the sprue. Managed to glue them together but they didn't fit at all. The machinegun is attached to the sprue at 3 places and it broke at those three places very easily. Other that that, it is a good model to build.

There are some WIP photos in the "eyes in the sky" GB. The kit is by ICM.

Cheers.

Nice!  Really like the Henschel - may have to pick one up. How was the kit?

These are the last three. Beaufighter is a bit too dirty as it was my first attempt at sludge wash.

Henschel 126 in 1/48

Beaufighter in 1/48

Merkava in 1/35
