Fujimi 1/24 Lamborghini Aventador

 

Airfix 1/32 MG K3 Magnette

 

Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin DBS

Revell 1/24 Ferrari 458 Italia

 

 

[Matt Bacon]

...and the rest:

 

 

Airfix 1/24 Aston Martin DB6, converted to a DB4GT

 

Airfix 1/32 Aston Martin DBR9

 

Airfix 1/32 Jaguar XKR

 

Revell 1/72 B-26 Marauder "Flak Bait", also featuring Minicraft 1/144 B-26 Marauder and 1/200 B-26, 1/1200 Landing Craft from Scotia Grendel

 

Revell 1/24 Ferrari 599 GTO

 

...and a Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona that didn't _quite_ make it in time!

 

That's 12 for the year, which doesn't feel like a lot, but I'm happy with them, which is the main thing!

Great models!  I really like the Aston DBS.  That B-26 diorama is really cool too - the perspective with the small ships, I have never seen that.

[CJ1971]

Impressive roster Matt! They're all very, very clean & well built! You should be very proud to have them on the shelf, I know I would. :-)
Cheers Cliff
PS: Did you scratch build the hinges for the DBS bonnet or are they purchased items? If so, where did you get them Matt?

[TooOld]

Excellent work on all of them !   Your " Flak Bait " dio is very creative and very cool !

[slusher]

All look great...

[bondo bill]

cool group

[The70judgeman]

All really nice builds. I especially like the B-26 Marauder dio.

[Lunajammer]

A productive year to be proud of. Nice work. Yup, the scaling perspective and subject of the dio wins the day.

[Dave]

Awsome job on the B-26.  Love the Aston's too.

[S. Svendsen]

Wow. Those are really sharp.

[midnightprowler]

Agreed. The use of different scales to give a forced perspective is genius. Well done.

[Matt Bacon]

Thanks very much indeed, guys! Cliff... if you're talking about the telescopic stays for the DBS bonnet, they are in the kit... they are moulded in the extended position and just pop into place in "click to fit" recesses when the bonnet is open.

 

Thanks for all the positive comments on the Flak Bait diorama. I'm a member of the Classic British Kits IPMS SIG, and our display for Scale Model World in November this year was based on recreating "Classic British Box Art" in model form. Although the kit is a Revell product, it came in a specific box for Revell (GB), with some wonderful Brian Knights box art, which sold me the kit in no time when I spotted it in a local charity shop. It looks like this:

 

 

Thanks again for all the positive feedback!

 

bestest,
