Not as successful as I hoped, only six completed this year.   I had grand ambitious plans to finish more, but glad this many are on the shelf.

So I had 9 projects to finish, got only 5 done, but one snuck in which made it 6.  Two qualified for Bring Out Your Dead.  The  Mercedes G666 BenutzerdefiniertHinterntretenJadgAktenvernichterGeländewagenLimousine will get done next year!

I remember watch some of these coming together. The fine detailing and craftsmanship is amazing. The '48 Canopy Express still makes me smile to see it. The creativity of the VW Bus and how you recreated your own pickup. I guess I missed sports cars and the Auto Union builds  Look forward to seeing what you have for 2021.

Appreciate it.  I wasn't active for a few months, so everything got buried.  I was going to post a 2021 Resolutions topic.

Six great models beats a dozen mediocre models any day! I enjoyed riding along as you built these, especially the Canopy, Green barge and VW!

Yea sure, I was looking at my stash and thought 6 a month would be good.  Thank you.

Really clean work on them all!  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment.  Kind of sloppy on the Canopy Express.

Awesome stuff. My vote goes to the 275: I've never seen interior detailing done that well before! ??

Thanks.  Appreciate the vote, I kind of went overboard on that.

Great line up Kurt!

I remember seeing your burgundy Ferrari entered in the "Desert Scale Classic" online show in the factory stock category, and I remember thinking to myself that I really had my work cut out for me if I wanted to compete with that exceptional piece!

Extremely well done Kurt!!

Yes, and when I saw your entries, asked why do I bother?  ?  It's a tough category.  Thank you.

Nice selection of styles, I failed to notice the shortened roof on the bus before. I think the celica is probably my fav though

Thanks!  I put a bunch of work on that project that is easily overlooked.

Thanks Curt!  I think we all do hope to get back to "normal".

That ferrari is over the top and your build thread was really something to follow. So much to learn and appreciate. Can only thank you over and over for sharing your process. 

That celica is a real beauty. I'd say you had a good 2020 with what you were able to complete and you are an inspiration to other builders such as myself.

I remember following your WIP on the 48 Chevy, an absolutely amazing amount of work and truly impressive engineering. Somehow I missed the build thread on the Ferrari and I'm blown away by the level and quality of detail on that one. They're all wonderfully done and each is amazing but those are the two that most stand out to me.
