2017 review
This year has been very hit and miss modelling wise. At the moment I just can't be bothered.
Anyhow its fast approaching the end of the year so I decided to do a recap of this years completions. The majority were Matchbox with the exception of the Revell Mig 21 , Airfix Mig 15 and Hasegawa's A-10 and Mig 27.

Not a bad score all round. I'd hate to see what you do when you're motivated.

Re: 2017 review
That looks a very respectable tally for the year, certainly in quality if not quantity (although the quantity is equally impressive!)
Best wishes

Re: 2017 review
Cheers folks, I tend to build in splurges and can get 3 or 4 knocked off over a month or so then I run out of steam. Anywhere around a dozen is a usual tally for me.

Re: 2017 review
A great collection, Shane and I reckon that is a good tally for a year's modelling. Normally I average around four or five completions but so far this year I've managed three - but, hey, it's not a race and quality over quantity is my mantra, though the quality bit is sometimes open to interpretation

Re: 2017 review
That's a most impressive output for the year and I especially like that MiG in U.S. Air Force markings. Not something often seen.
All of your 2017 models are magnificent work!

Re: 2017 review
Well, there's an output to aim for. Particularly love the A-10 in Lizard One, but any one of them would grace a collection.

Re: 2017 review
Very nice output. More important than the number of builds is the quality.
What's the point of cranking out a dozen plus kits each month if they all look like junk?
Right where you have a collection you can be proud of.
I think I like the A-10 or Flogger the most.
