Hi all
Happy New Year! Here's to a happy, healthy and constructive 2016!
So, any modelling-related New Year's Resolutions? Mine (needless to say) is to actually try to do some - instead of almost always writing only about it!
Sadly, I'll start the year off by breaking my resolution immediately - but, if I ever get the decks clearer of reviews...
Have a great year, everyone - and here's looking forward to even more amazing builds from you all!
All the best

Finish those I start and start less than I finish.
There is quite a large shelf of hanger and slipway queens.

Finish something, anything, instead of just watching others and writing comments. Look real life in the eye and tell it to give me a break!
Happy New Year to all and best wishes for a safe and happy 2016.
Cheers, D

5 boxes out, 1 box in...
The only one really on the list for this year is the second Bronco 1/35 glider...might have some kits for sale later on.
Happy new year!

My new year’s resolution is to not take a year and a half to finish my next model, unlike the one I just completed.

Well, for 2015 I started 5 kits and finished 4 of them. Unfortunately, one didn't make the grade and was delegated to the local recycling center.
1/48 Spitfire Mk.IXc Eduard
1/32 F2A-3 Buffalo Czech
1/48 A4-F Scooter Eduard/Hasegawa
1/48 PV-1 Ventura Revell
My goal for 2016 is to finish all the kits I start, which I've never accomplished. And now that I've come out of the model car closet, to build a few race car models from the eras and series that still mean a great deal to me.

My resolutions are pretty straightforward:
1) Finish the S-55
2) Finish the MiG-21
3) Start and finish the P-47 1/48
4) Start and finish the Italeri F-104G 1/72
5) Start with the Kinetic E-2C hawkeye
But most important:
6) Practice new techniques / modelling stuff (e.g. varnishes) first, before immediately applying it on a model

My goal, as usual, is to set no goals but one:
HAVE FUN WITH MY HOBBY!
I hope to realize that goal fully.
Happy New Year all!
