My 2016 builds gathered at the ice cream stand

[Sixties Sam]

Hey, all. Here are my 16 for '16, gathered at the ice cream stand diorama for photos. The campers are scratch built. The 41 Ford wrecker is a resin cab on scratch built frame, bed, and boom. The Model T truck has a scratch built body. The Cobra is a rebuild of one I built in the 1960's. Jaguar is a metal body. Fun builds - all of them.

That's a great group of builds for the year Sam.  I wish I was that productive this year.

Looks like a fun time at The Frosty Cup! I'm really digging the Ford wrecker. Wouldn't mind seeing some more pics of that. Campground dio should be cool too.

Nice group of models and an excellent way to show them off.

My thoughts exactly - nice work, Sam.

Great group of builds and a cool dio backdrop.  Well done!

Makes me feel a little "inadequate" when I see how productive some of us were last year!

Nice bunch Sam.

Thanks! Yes, I'm decided, I definitely love it. I'm guessing you didn't do a WIP on it, I would have really loved to have seen your build in progress. I plan on doing a '66 Chevy wrecker as a replica of the one we had used at our family's auto body shop. I drove it for 15 years, and it was a workhorse into the late '90s. I'll have to scratch build a large part of it for what I have planned I think. The problem is it might be a little beyond my skill level at this point. I guess if I don't try I'll never know so we'll see.

Here's a link to the "on the workbench" post, Kevin. It was a pretty simple build, although the boom took some effort!

That's quite a haul of builds for the year Sam, especially considering all the scratch building!! Oh and they all look great.Really like the campers!!

[Sixties Sam]

Thanks for all the compliments, guys! I appreciate them a lot!
