Holy Marc!!!!!!   That's a lot of builds.    Looks like you had a great year.

I had a pretty busy year that didn't leave a lot of time for models .  Still managed to get a few done though with one more in the works.

oops, how'd that target get in there!!! 

Nice work guys, always a pleasure to see those models again.  Here's mine for 2007:

Some builds to be proud of guys.

Marc, that is a slick camo job on the Helldiver. Never seen that before.

I'm new this year and my stuff is beginner, but I'm proud of it and this has been a great incentive to improve my skills.

Very nice builds everyone!

Nut you are a maniac, when do you sleep?

Bondo I like your choices on kits, a lot of stuff you dont see often and well done to boot.

Daywalker I love that six bladed spit, such a cool lookin aircraft and unique to find a spit that doesnt look like one.

Razordws what the heck is that rocket looking thing. looks like a bullet with windows

As for me, this is not only my builds for this year, but also all my builds so far. 2007 my first year, so here goes.

Academy 1/72 P-51

Academy 1/72 P-40

Tamyia 1/48 Spitfire MK Vb

Partial Hasegawa 1/72 F-14a

Hmm I guess I got more done this year then I gave myself credit for. Now if I could get my quality up to par with the board average. 

Well, here's mine for the year....since August anyway.....when I started up again.

F4F4 Wildcat Revell 1/32

FW190A-3 Hasegawa 1/48 (had a paint mishap post-decals, haven't had the courage to fix yet.......plus, can't find new A-3 decals)

BF109 G10 Revell Germany 1/48

Brewster Buffalo Tamiya 1/48 WIP

Spitfire MkVIII ICM 1/48 conversion from MkVII to VIII w/kit parts (almost done)

Great job everyone! I hope I'll get to that level of quality someday.

Amodel 1/72 Shavrov Sh-2 with scratch built interior and engine details

AMT 1/25 Ford Louisville

And one I don't have a picture available of, Lindberg 1/25 1963 Mustang 2 prototype.
Overall it's been a good modeling year although I am just a little off my normal pace of one per month. Now looking forward to 2008!

Sleep?  Oh yeah, I think I have a vague idea of what that is...  Yeah I got a little carried away this year.  Biz is slow so there will be a moratorium on kit purchases in '08.  Just gonna pull from the stash.

Great looking stuff posted too, by a great bunch of folks.  That's why FSM is my fav forum.  Most I remember but a few I don't recall.

And a ? for Matt...Was the truck you built last year? I am losing track of time.  Doesn't seem that long ago. 

Come on.... nubes and old timers (as in regulars... no age discrimination intended)  let’s see your stuff.

Well everyone. Since this my first year back building, I chose all 1/32. Eyes you know. But this is all I have so far. I`m almost ashamed to post with all the fantastic builds here!!. First time forum member, and I think its the best group of people around, hands down

WOW All the builds I have seen here are outstanding!  I look forward to learning from you all and doing more in 2008!

I don't know how you can do those littile planes Marc.

here are my 2007 projects

I build on the slow side. In my defence I'm currently building a 1/24 spitfire, 1/32 fw190A-8 and a 1/72 hellcat. The larger 2 are moving along slowly the the small hellcat is almost done.

From newest to oldest.

Testors 1/48 U2-C spy plane.

1/48 dragon Ta152H-1

1/48 monogram promodeler fw190D-11

1/72 hobby boss fw190D-9

1/48 academy bf109G-6 I built most of it last year but actually finished it early this year.

Well here are my completed builds for 2007 (I have a couple of additional builds that I won't consider 2007 builds since I have not yet built the display base for them).

Pro-Modeler Ju-88A4 1:48

Pro-Modeler Do-217E5 1:48

Pro-Modeler P-38E 1:48

Monogram SA-16 1:72

Sure seems like I built more since I feel like I was nearly always building throughout the year.  Maybe it's those two F-14s that I did that need to be completed with display stands.

And for 2008 I already have lined up 5 different P-40s, a Hurricane, a P-61, a P2V7 Neptune, and whatever my Secret Santa sent.

Hmmmm...... Looking back over them, I think I detect a theme or two.....

WOW   More incredable stuff here.  Nice job all.  And Charles that is by far the best build in the whole Mega high fives to the tenth pwoer buddy.

But what does the wife say when she comes home and see that "build" on the shelf?

She's just happy that he has his mommy's good looks and hopes he has her brains, too. I can't argue either point.
