I tallied my builds from last year, and the grand total was 27, of which the majority was aircraft (23). I though I'd present my "fab 5".

Those are some nice builds Erik. I really like the BMF Mustang.

Nice builds, Eirik! Especially I like the Zero, as I have a kind of soft spot for Japanese WW 2 aircraft. I have finished 10 builds in 2013 (9 aircraft in 1/48 and one tank in 1/35). Not bad for me.
Funny to see the 1 Euro coin there. Should I lend you some Kroners ....? I was in Norway on last summer holidays.

Haha, I use the Euro coin as most non-Norwegians have no idea of the size of a Krone. (Though as I post some pictures on imgur.com I suppose i should start adding a "banana, for scale".)

LOL, I try to have 2 or 3 builds going at a time, so I get the most out of the hours at the worktable. But because I'm a useless nerd I also made a graphic visualization on my blog.. http://polarcoordinate.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/modellbygging-2013-visualisert/

On the other hand, I didn't finish a single model this January, and just one build so far in February

That's a great collection you have there Eirik. The Mustang is the pick of the bunch imo. The camo on the Folgore is pretty cool too. Keep em coming!
