Lots of great work there stik!   

Stay safe.

Jim 

Thanks Jim!

I forgot to add this little project to the 2023 batch, my 1/35 Longest Day Beachmaster

Marvelous work, Stik!  

Nice mix of subjects, all very nicely done. 

Love the weathering on the jeep and the gloss finish of the F-18. 

i am inspired to spend a bit more time at the bench!

That all looks  fantastic. Great job done on all of them.

Robert, Edwin, and Lurch, thank you for looking in and your kind comments!

Edwin, I do hope that you can spend more time at your bench and hope to see what you build on here soon!

Those are all great SP, but I friggin' love the beachmaster and his doggie! 

Thanks Gamera! Painting dogs is even more challenging than painting a human figure!

Great work Stik ! I love them all but my heart steers towards the M3 and the jeep. And who doesn't like a well done Blue Angels plane of any iteration !

My 2023 revelations, besides in art work and crafts, is in models trying and loving Tamiya LP lacquers with Mr Leveling thinner. It's the new faster drying easy to work with Model Master to me. Just wish the bottles were bigger.

Good output, Stik, very nice builds!  I like your figure of Beachmaster Maud especially.

"Steady, Winston!"

All great builds Stik - I'm partial to the F-84F

Nice work, stik. I'm with keavdog though, that F-84 is sharp!

-O

I'm just jealous!! Beautiful work the past year!

All brilliant!

Thanks for looking in and your kind comments guys!

OMG, the TOW jeep was a fun project, and something close to the heart for me. Im happy that it stands out to you. The M3 was more of a "finishing" project than anything else.

Baron, I love that figure! I just wish that my face painting skills were up to the task... not to mention painting ole Winston... Dogs are tough to get right!

John and O, glad that you like the F-84! There is just something about those big mouth 50's jets!

Jim & Pat, you are both far too kind! Thanks again!

Great builds Stik.  As usual, your armor looks exceptional and your aircraft are not half bad either... 

Thank you Chris! I tend to weather my armor builds a lot more, and this batch of aircraft definately were on the light to none on the weatheriung scale for a change...

Congrats to you for getting so much done this last year. They all look so good it's hard to pick a favorite.

Thanks Ben! I suppose with the variety of subject areas, you could always go with your own favorite to help 

OK then, for me its a toss-up between the F-84 and the M3, but great work all around.

Awesome stack of completed projects there, sir!  Where did you find the boarding ladder for the F-84?  I'm assuming it's 1/48, right?  I'm wanting to start my 1/72 Thunderscreech that my uncle was test pilot for, and would LOVE to add a boarding ladder, but am having troubles finding pretty much anything in that area for modern aircraft (or quasi-modern in this case) in pretty much any scale.  

Thanks Ben. The F-84 was an enjoyable build.

Crash, the boarding ladder came from the old ESCI 1/48 ground support equipment set. A few older Monogram 1/48 jets also include boarding ladders. In 1/72 I know that one comes in one of the Hasegawa Ground Crew sets. There are some other sets of ground stuff from Skunk Models you may want to look into.

Thanks for your kind words on my builds here.

Thank you very much!!  The Hasagowa set seems available for not a lot of cash.  

Tanker, ya gotta love a British Bulldog! So ugly, that they are lovely 

Crash, glad that I could point you in a helpful direction. For 1/48 stuff, the ESCI set can usually be found on ebay for a decent price. I beleive that Italeri has reboxed and issued the set as well. It always makes a build look more interesting to have that stuff sitting near the aircraft, just like in real life on the ramp.
