iggie's twenty-something for 2023

Post by iggie »

As it stands, I have 27 completions for the year, possibly my best total since returning to the hobby :grin:
It does include a scratchbuilt cot in 1:1 scale admittedly, but in case this is disallowed, my current project will be finished this evening (alerter permitting) so that'll cover the deduction :grin:
Of course, if the cot is allowed, then I'm on 28 ;-)

A superb mix of subjects and I'd not even seen the Tyrell yet!

Thanks folks :grin:
I think it's fair to say that without the input from you guys here on the forum, my output would be considerably less, and far less enjoyable as well.
I did think that I'd be adding another completion to the list for 2023, but unfortunately Roden decals have lived up (or more appropriately down :frown: ) to their reputation, and have put me back a little on finishing the VC10... so I guess I'll be one up for the new year instead ;-)
Happy New Year to you all 🥳🥂
Best wishes

When you said you built a Cot, I assumed that was an abbreviation for cottage😏. I thought that was good going😃
Nice builds anyhoo.
Cheers Howard

Quite a lot and quite a mixture and all to a high standard ... particularly with the B&B and Fire Calls mixed in.
Well Done and Happy New Year !

That's a top notch year's modelling, Jim, with a great mix of subjects.
