Show What You Built in 2007. Warning for Dialup Users! Tons of Pics!!

Thanks Lt! Glad you like the idea as well. It is a bit slow in taking off but I'm thrilled to see all these posts of such excellent work! Your Tony is extraordiary! I love the finish on it. Great job on the armor as well.

Thanks again for posting! Glad to see such awesome participation. 

Wow, some really great stuff here! This is a cool thread idea.  Some of you guys are amazingly prolific builders.  I'm lucky to just finish a few in a year.  Here's what I finished in '07, I hope '08 is as much fun:

Jeff

1/72 Hasegawa Ki-61 (Tony):

1/72 Academy P-39 Airacobra:

1/35 Tamiya Marder IIIM(r):

1/35 Tamiya PSW 222:

Dang, the Swede sure aren't shy about saying "Hey, Here I am!  Can you see me?"

This actually isn't a bad thread  idea. I never hop into the warship or figures fora, so don't see the productions.

Jan 07: SA.342 Gazelle, Irish Air Corps. 1/72, Airfix

APR 07: PzH2000, German Army, 1/35, Revell.

SEP 07: Strv-103B, Swedish Army, 1/35 Trumpeter.

SEP 07: MiG-29A, Yugoslav Air Force, 1/72, Fujimi.

SEP07: SA.330J Puma, Irish Police, 1/72, Airfix.

For some reason, I thought I had made more.

Love them all!! the Hellcat looks awsome! As the ZERO..Thanks for posting..

Thanks, db

The hellcat was my first attempt at scratchbuilding.  I scratched the entire ammo bay on the port wing there.  Had to track down brass sqaure tube in the correct size and then figure out a way to cut the slot in them so you could see the ammo.

Here's a close up

The Zero was my first attempt at heavy weathering.  I used the salt technique and scraping.  And in order to the effect I was looking for, I had to put down several layers of paint.  First was primer, then aluminium, then red oxide primer (just like the original zeros) then the top coat.  I put the salt on between the red primer and the top coat and then I scraped it off.  The I applied the decals and just scraped at them with my exacto.  I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Ok, I'll put up everything I've built this year.  heck, I'll even pu them up in the order I built them.

First up. Fine Molds 1/72 TIE fighter

Hasegawa 1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat

Hasegawa 1/32 Mitsubishi A6M5 Type 52 Zero

Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback

Matchbox 1/72 Folland Gnat Mk.I trainer and Starfix 1/72 T-38 Talon "Hot Shots"

And I'm about 90% of the way through a revellogram 1/48 P-61B

Thank you, but all my aircraft posts were built 1 to 20 years ago.  The only thing I finished this year was a Tony Stewart car for a nephew who races.  I have a lot of things going, some close to done.  Maybe I'll do better this year.

Archangel, that is awesome! Fantastic work on that figure. I like the size refernece too; puts things in perspective.

Wayne, it was a great aircraft, finely crafted. I would personally love seeing it here again.  

This is the 1/6th figure I been working on as a break from the Thud. The figure is huge! to the right is a 1/35th German female auxillary.

Thanks for the replies guys! I was hoping there'd be more responses since there are so many prolific quality model builders on these Forums. Manstein, the doog, Espins, and others come to mind. 76 Views and only five posts. Maybe I put this post in the wrong place. I'm worried about calling attention to this Thread in other Forums and be censured for posting Spam.

Oh well, I appreaciate all your responses. For those who didn't finish anything, I'm looking forward to seeing what you build in 2008.

Waterboy, I remember those two dioramas. Theyt are fantastic and I've saved the photos to use as references for when I do a dio myself. 

Thanks again guys! happy new year!

   Can't show, but can tell:

   1/48 Revell-o-gram  P-61 Black Widow

   1/72  Yak-38  what-if build

   1/72  BV-141 funky German plane

   1/40 (?) Revell M-56 Scorpion

Also Nuthin. Have a 1/32 TRump F105D 65% done

                          1/32 Hasegawa F86F30 converted to a-10  10%

                          1/32 Hasegawa FW190-A8  10% done

    Thats it
 

Nada...Zip! What I started in 2007 will be carried into the new year which is as follows and I will add pic's shortly.

1. Revell 1/72 VIIC/41. Just about ready for painting but after a good dusting off. GOD! I got 2 more of these in the stash.
2. Hobbycraft 1/32 Thud with fit problems that's giving me fits!
3. Pro Modeler (Hasegawa) A-4E which is closer to completion than the Thud due to finding some cool Viet Nam era USMC decals.
4. A 1/6 Sci-Fi female figure which is more fun and pleasing to the eyes than 1,2 and 3 above.
