Great looking armor Wbill!  Nice work!

Bill

Since you decided to analyze and as I am an engineer....... while on 58.333% of the months in 2010 saw you completing a model it should be noted that 85.714% were in camoflage and 92.857% had tracks but overall 100.001% were outstanding builds!.

It is not about quantity, its quality....and more over, its not quality, its about quality fun.....you got it all

Happy New Year....best of styrene and resin in 2011

Rounds Complete!! 

Great work Bill,my favorites: the DAK III and the Jagdpanther,keep em coming !!

Wbill,

Excellent work & productivity!

I see a common theme which would be German armor vehicles of WWII. How about a allied vehicle or maybe a aircraft for 2011? I would suggest a Sherman Firefly or a ever popular Spitfire, possibly a Mosquito.

All are very well done, If I had to chose it would be the Panzer IV w/ winter track extensions as my favorite.

That's a pretty productive year Bill. That Wespe is really the bomb.

Thanks Kevin!

Mike, only in the world of statistics is it possible to exceed 100% in the reporting! Thanks as always for your continued support and encouraging comments!

Anthony, the DAK Pz III was a fun build, one of those occasions where I got to do a lot of customization to personalize the final build. Glad you like it!

SF, thanks for the comments as well! I used to build aircraft almost exclusively when I was younger and when I got back into the hobby in 2000, that's where I started before shifting to armor in 2001. Not set up any more to do AC so that's not likely but appreciate the suggestion all the same. As for something allied in 2011, that might be possible...I still have the Trumpeter KV-II in the stash that's been patiently waiting for a long while...who knows? I don't plan out far in advance what I'm going to work on and usually just wait for the inspiration to strike when it's time to start the next project. 

Eric, thanks as well, the Wespe is one of my favorites from the year as well. I thoroughly enjoyed that build and had a lot of fun with it.  

Here's a percentage for ya... I love 100% of 'em.

I had the pleasure to follow ALL of your WIPs in 2010.   If you really want to know which is my favorite... I'd say its a tie between Wespe and Japdpanther.  I still love them all and I will not let Manny marry any of them! 

I forgot what you are planning to do next?  Maybe something easy and quick so that way you will feel refreshed.  I dare you to build a Sherman...

A great collection of fantastic builds! Looking forward to 2011!

Send me a PM for my mailing address so you can ship to me.

Seriously weather you did 1 or 10 we here at FSM appreciate your tutorials, insight, and input.

Happy New Year!

Looks like a great year of building...I know were not voting, but the jagdpanther is my choice for your model of the year.

Bob

Love 'em all.............

                                              But I Love this 'un best.

Really excellent builds with some really cool paint jobs! WOW! You've had an awesome year... Congrats out to ya!!...

Excellent stuff Bill. Particularly like the Pzkpfw III / Winterketten.....

Can't choose which I like the best because I like them all. No need for me to say that they are great builds,THEY ARE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you...cheers....Kenny

great stuff!

Truly impressive run of builds Bill.  You know I'm one of your big fans.  Not only the quality of your builds but the detail with which you chronicle them sets you at the peak of contributors to this site!  Thanks for the lineup!

sweeet !

Wow, great stuff! I haven't been around the armour forum as much as I'd like and missed a few of these so thanks for posting them here!

I need to get back to doing more AFVs, I swear I would if mine looked half as good as your models!

Marc, Nate, Bob, minimortar, Stage Left, cb1, and p38, thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Happy New Model Year 2011 to all of you!

Andy, you've been a great source of encourgament and support, thanks! I think you're in luck as the Herr Feldmarschall seems to be vacationing in Odessa and is unavailable for any ceremonies at the moment. I did choose a relatively simple "holiday" vacation project and will have some pics up sometime this week depending. No dice on doing a Sherman...I actually built several some years back but once I turned to the "darker side" I liquidated all the remaining Shermans in the stash.

IB48, thanks for the encouragement as well. I've found it very hard to part with my finished builds...I have thought on occasion about possibly selling some of them on e-bay but haven't been able to bring myself to actually do it.

DM aka Steve, I had a feeling that one would be your favorite. Looking forward to hopefully seeing your next creation soon?

Kenny, Happy New Year to you as well and thanks for the comments!

Boyd, thanks as well for the kind words. Always a pleasure to share the build logs with the gang here on FSM!

Gamera, glad you were able to catch a few that you missed. I keep copies of all my build logs on my site, http://www.bpmodels.net , so you can see the logs to go with them there as well if you're interested.

I love all of your tanks and want to marry them...all of 'em...

I now pronounce you armor and track! 

And now for some live rounds to celebrate:

Thanks Manny!. IB48 has provided the post-ceremony salute with his link, I'm sure Mike will be suitably happy with the video!

Thanks Bill, just bookmarked your site

You are a real motivator for me. When I don't fell like building, I look at your website and it inspires me. I enjoy all your build and look forward to the upcoming year.

Thanks wildman! Appreciate the comments and glad to hear that my builds are an inspiration to others.

Great builds, Bill. I always enjoy your articles in the various mags they pop up in, they truly stand out as quality, clean  and accurate works.

Both of the Pz III's be me favorite. Thank's for sharing so much of your work (and inspiring me to be more productive)!

Love 'em all Bill!! But if I had to pick one I'd have to go with the Pnzr III N or maybe the Nashorn...no wait definitely the Waspe.... hmmm that Stug looks pretty sharp though
