2009 Armor Forum Year in Review....add your photos

Not as many as I had hoped but i've got a pretty good start on 2010.

Here's wishing you folks a easier time of it in 2010                                                                                         Tony Lee

Cool idea. I remember seeing a couple of those in person this year, very nice too.

Always nice to see the parade of finished builds at the end of each year! I had hoped to make it 11 builds with the Pz III G Afrika (would've created a nice "bookend effect") but that's not going to happen with the 31st looming...so here's my 10 finished builds for 2009.

I always enjoy the end of year review threads its a chance to see everyone work especially this year with having missed so much of it all, some fantastic stuff here guys if i was ever needing inspiration theres  definatly enough here to last me a while, well done everyone.

I started the year well but missed the last several months but still am happy with the results of what i did but really hope for more this coming year.

Builds, all 1:72, are as follows. Not included though is a completed Trumpeter BTR-80 and a complete KV-1's "Ehkanrami" which lacks a base.

Italeri IS-2 and Calibri (Fort) GAZ-67B - models finished late last year but all done this year.
 

Trumpeter STRV-103B
 

ICM BM13-16 Katiusha, Heaven help me, this kit was a shocker and suffered a mishap on the way to a club meeting. The base was modified considerably during repairs as I was not happy with it. (The below pic is the original)
 

Matchbox M24 Chaffee
 

Mmy only aromr for this year...but you guys build some great model's

Happy new year

Wow, great stuff guys. Sorry I have nothing to add. I have some WIP's that I hope to finish up, plus start something new in 2010.

I only have one to add. First tank in 15 years, 2nd tank ever, first ever white washed, will get around to making a base soon.

Andrew

Hiya guys : )

Here is my only build for 2009.

I enjoyed building it, I hope you like these pics, some I don't think yet published.

My KV-1 Ehkranami in a nutshell, from inspiration to realization. Happy New Year Dudes!

Tamiya 1/35 T-34 1942. First time at trying the hairspray method for whitewash.

Finished the T-34 in September and haven't touched a thing since. I hate being in one of those building funks.

Not a very busy year, but happy I had time even for these.

ive got about a half dozen WIPS but here are the few i finished

Some outstanding work here gentleman. I'll get some pics togethr of what I've managed to get done this year and post 'em in a bit.

Largely thanks to work i have only finished 3 armour kits this year. All were for dupe's GB's.

The first was DML's 251/17 Ausf D, which was carried over from 2008.

 Then, for the 1,000 road wheels GB, i built the DML Kugelblitz

And finally, the Italeri Ostwind prototype.

I still have to do Dioram's for these kits and a few others, but that might have to wait for a few months.

Check another one off for me. Just finished up my 1/35 Italeri M24. I may take some pics of it later.

Erik

Here are my four: Tamiya Pz IV Ausf D 1/35 - 1000Roadwheels GB
