I'm getting a relatively high number of 403 Forbidden HTTP responses lately on this site, this time to attempting to respond directly to lewbud.

In answer, I like taking photos of the underside and then inverting to give an impression of being on the ground watching an airplane in a landing approach. Big Smile

Amazing work and I’m amazed at how many you got done. I think those two B-29’s would take me a year to finish without working on anything else.

Well done Aggieman.  Why did you invert the pic of the F-111?  We could see that he was comfortable and secure in his environment,Big Smile

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks everyone!

Being out of work has at least one benefit of allowing me far more time at my bench than I'd ordinarily get.  But in the coming year, I really have to slow myself down.  My stash took a bit of a hit in 2020, and with no additions in the forseeable future, my actual retirement plans revolving around building have dwindled.  So for this coming year, I've pulled 12 kits out of the stash that I currently think I will build in 2021.

Wow, I could only dream of finishing that many models in a year! Great to see you have both quantity and quality.

Wow Aggie, I am in awe at both the sheer quantity and the quality of the builds.

You sir are definately an over-achiever, and in this case it is a good thing!

Hello!

It's really the end of the year, when posts like this start showing up... and indeed - what a result! It would take me about five GOOD years to complete as many models!

Happy new 2021!

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Aggieman's Busy Year 2020 in Review
Posted by Aggieman on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 5:04 PM

I think many have been ready to say "sayonara" to this year for some time now.  Yesterday I wrapped up work on my last models for the year, and realized that the year 2020 has probably been the busiest I've ever had at the bench.
