Not a lot of model got built this year...

[peekay]

...but I managed to get these three done:

This one is Tomy's 1.32nd kit:

I thought I would have this one finished by now but the unacceptable interface between glass and interior has stalled me:

All the best to all of you for 2016.

Fine, clean work. 

[GTJUNIOR]

Very nice models. I especially like the benz. 

[bbowser]

Wow!  Your work is always outstanding, thanks for sharing!  I too like the Benz.  Which kit did you use for that one?

[花火]

I remember this 300sl. really nice. lose on the quantity but win on the quality.

[traditional]

Peter, you always build super clean models with perfect foil trim.  A Quality year for sure!   All gorgeous models.

[disabled modeler]

[mikemopar70]

Very nice models.

They are so cleanly built!!

Wow!!

[Mr.Zombie]

Super nice! I love how your paint finish comes out, and how clean they are. And what interesting subjects! Supercool.

[Mustang Madness]

Quality not quantity!   nice builds Peter. 

[peekay]

Thanks guys. 

Bruce, the 300SL is from Tomy in 1.32nd scale, one of the finest kits I've ever encountered.

[crazyjim]

Sweet and SHINY builds.

[mredjr]

Peter you may not have built many but as always beautiful builds. I love your work.

[Reeves Racing]

Crisp and clean work and great photography.

[Greg Pugh]

What's important is the quality of the three models you finished this year! I'm sure a lot of us could crank out crappy models by the dozens, but not everyone can build as cleanly as you do. Nice job! I'd call that a successful year.

[Erik Smith]

Great models Peter. I love the Mercedes. 

[Monty]

Looks like all of these are, or will be, nicely done.  I've generally ignored 1/32 scale kits in the past because most of the ones I've seen aren't terribly accurate and seem to be lacking detail. That Mercedes, OTOH, looks like it'd make any builder proud.

If I read your post correctly, it sounds like you're having trouble with the glass on the 1/25 AMT Nomad.  I don't recall having any interference issues when I built mine, but that was decades ago.  What are you encountering that's holding this project up?   

 

[maltsr]

Beautiful builds Peter.

[peekay]

Thanks again everyone, much appreciated.

 

• ....trouble with the glass on the 1/25th Nomad...

Monty, I'd like the interior bucket to sit level with the top of the doors but it meets the glass about 3mm below that. At the moment I'm trying to make new side windows with acetate but this is proving difficult because of the curvature at the rear post. I'm on my third attempt.

The Tomy Mercedes kit is fantastic, very accurate and the parts fit is very precise. It has a good looking engine plus PE and wire details and the glass has beautifully chromed-printed frames. I also have a Jaguar SS from this series which is equally impressive.

Peter, sometimes it's not about quantity, but rather quality, and I see excellent work here!!! Great year for you!

 

[CometMan]

Your work is outstanding! Keep the quality up even is the quantity is down!!

[slusher]

Great models Peter, always enjoy your builds.

[DeeCee]
