ismaelg Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Hello, Best wishes for a wonderful new year! I wasn't on the modeling workbench much during 2022. Sorry for not even been here in a long time. In 2022, scale models lost the battle against my other workbench-hoarding hobby: Vintage Camera restorations. (If anyone is interested, here is a link to my 2022 Year-in-review for camera restorations:https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/211-vintage-cameras-equipment/450564-my-2022-review-36-cameras-13-rolls-film-lot-more.html )No contest this year: 36 cameras vs only 3 models.I did manage to finish 3 scale models, although only 1 is really a plastic model car.1. My best of the year and only plastic model car was the 1949 Talbot Lago T26C Belgian Grand Prix winner Started with the Merit/Smer kit but ended up scratchbuilding a lot of it. More details in this build thread: https://race-car-models.proboards.com/thread/2525/finished-talbot-belgian-grand-winner2. The other race car was actually a 1/64 Corvette C6R chassis 001 as tested in Sebring January 8 2005Started with a beaten Hot Wheels More details in this build thread: https://race-car-models.proboards.com/thread/2884/finished-quick-build-corvette-c6r3. My third and last model of the year was a totally different subject. A STAR WARS B Wing Fighter with some serious firepower.Started with a vintage built MPC snap kit that was broken and incomplete. Funny, this kit was re-released recently.

mustang1989 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Heya Ismael!!! Long time no see potna. Hope everything is going well for you bro. Great modeling this year despite the constructive distraction from the modeling bench.
70 Sting Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 The 1949 Talbot Lago T26C is gorgeous. Wouldn’t be able to tell it apart from the real car.?
spencer1984 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Awesome work on all three! And for the record, your ScaleCorvettes site was a big help this year, even in its retirement.
Phildaupho Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 You had an interesting year of building. That little Corvette is very cool.
espo Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Great looking builds. The Talbot Lago is really well done and the pictures in the background make it look like a museum display.
Joe Nunes Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Nice model builds for the year. I really like the Talbot Lago. ? Joe
