What did you build this year?

[43rdMichael]

Wow, some of you guys are really punching them out!! Great work.

My finished F1's are all Tameo 1/43:

Jan - Ferrari F92
Jan - Ferrari F1-90
Jun - Ferrari F93
Jun - Jordan EJ11
Aug - Renault R26 '30 Ans'
Oct - Ferrari 248 F1 (for my Dad - not sure if that counts)

Planned for completion during December (90% confident of getting both done):
the other Ferrari 248 F1
Ferrari F189 Hungary

Also painted a couple of figures.

Tameos started during the year, but to be completed in 2009:

Lotus 56B
McLaren Mp4/22
McLaren Mp4/23

I'm glacial when it comes to builds. Started an F189 hoping to finish it by the spring...

I'm with Dustbin. It takes me forever to get a kit completed.

I wonder what the response to a new topic: What have you got partially completed?

Or, what project are you going to start next?........with a monthly follow-up just for fun.

This answer should really be in the "uncompleted builds" thread, but anyway...
In my case there's mostly half way kits and some almost finished.
Let's go:
-Lotus 81 mid season (finished)
Almost done (only left to put wheels
-Ty010 Daly GB GP
-Ty010 Jarier (CDN GP)
-Ty010 B S. African GP, D. Wislon
-Ty010B Cheever Monaco
-ATS D4 Surer Dutch GP

Hmmm. I think:

Tamiya 1/20th McLaren MP4/7
Tamiya 1/24th Toyota Celica Monte Carlo '93
Tamiya 1/12th Yamaha YZR-M1 Valencia addition

Blimey that's not many, I think I bought about 15...

After a long time away (4-5yrs), I finally carved out some space and time to get back to a little kit building in the past few months. Turned back to a project I started several yrs ago: a collection in 1/43 of a representative car for each of the first 50 yrs of Ferrari's participation in F1, 1950-99. I was inspired by a similar collection I saw at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello.

Not all 50 cars will be builds; I think when I am done, about 25-30 will be built kits.

This yr I completed:

MG Models 1966 312
MG Models 1973 312 B3
Tron 1960 F246
Tameo 1983 126C3

Still have to make:

MMK 1963 F156
BBR 1993 F93A
BBR 1996 F310

Then I will have a complete set and can (i) start to build the dozens of other 1/43, 1/20 and 1/12 scale F1s sitting in storage, or (ii) perhaps go back through the collection and start replacing non-kit yrs with builds . . .

It's nice to be back at it. I forgot how much pleasure building kits can be.
