1959scudetto

You may not have built as many as you wanted to - but those are simply marvellous!

Gary, this is a great compilation ! I have admired these models over the whole last year, nice to see them all at once. Who cares when you have started them - whether it takes 2 weeks or 20 years: at the end it is the result that counts. You have always been an inspiration for us race car modelers. I'm looking forward to the models you have in the pipeline for 2023 - keep on building!

I intend to decorate this as the 1967 BOAC 500 (Brands Hatch) car from Chris Amon/Jackie Stewart:

Brought 1 hour ago from the postman: Jouef 330P4 spider (ebay Germany) - no box, but complete, wiper has to be replaced/repaired.

Once again, no new kit completed, but 3 started and 7 former built-ups disassembled and prepared for rebuilding. Finished in 2022 (most already shown here): 2 old kits reworked (Italeri California Spider, Heller Porsche 907/908): Some die-cast modified: 2 Fiats turned into Abarths: 2 fictitious rally cars: Simca 1000 and Renault 12 and at last - the repair of a damaged DM Town & Country (pic from before the repair)

I can see some sharp racers here, Doug - well done!

Very nice, Tim - Especially the jade-green Javelin and Cale's stock car!

Great model, Dave - masterful skills ! Never heard of this one: Looks to me like a typical CanAm contender from ca. 1970.

Very well done model, Rich - this is my favorite 917 LH - what a great way of closing the year!

Good looking wrecker, Pat ! Did you scratchbuild the booms?

Very impressive rig - and awesome load, Dan! Did you shorten the DM800 hood/fenders for the DM600 or was it schratch-build?

Some great models here - my favorites are the 166 Barchetta and the Gulf GT40.

Unbelievable craftsmanship, Janos - are you a goldsmith or a jeweler by profession?

Very nice _E-type in primrose yellow - I plan to build mine in the same color.

That small Jaguars are beautiful, Matt - very nice!

Some nice models here , Peter - I especially like the Bud Moore TransAm Mustang (Parnelli Jones?)

Fantastic collection of outstanding models I admired during the last months, Anders. My favorites are the 2 Citroens, the El Camino, the Starfire and - of course - the 250 California Spider.

Marvellous models, Michael ! My favorites are the 3 rally cars, the IMSA Jaguar and the 328 GTS, but each one is very nice!

Great kitbashing leading to a very fine result!

Great builds and very nice photos - I expecially like the Thunderbird, 356 and Mk II. Once again, thanks for describing the wood painting method.

Thank you all for the positive comments, guys - very much appreciated.

OMG, Charles - how can you manage to create such wonderful, real-looking dioramas in this TINY scale? Unbelievable craftsmenship !

Awwwww Casey, that is NICE !!! I really like it very much how you created a convincing 1970 truck. Gives me some inspirations for mine in the stash: I wanted to leave off the Mercury sleeper or lenghten the frame. But your coice with the 359 sleeper looks much better - also the elongated tank, different drive axle tires and the old A/C unit on the roof. Super paint scheme, too - this light grey works exceptionally well. Definately makes me want to re-start truck modeling in the near future.

Thank you, Trevor and Chris!

Excellent build, Mario - looks like the box-art. To my knowledge, Heller did not make a DS kit in 1/24 (only 1/16 and 1/43).
