My year in styrene- the 2023 edition

Dear Claude, 2023 was what we could call a "grand cru" as we say in French for the master of styrene and thank you for this forum to offer the opportunity to a large audience to be able to appreciate!

I had the chance to see them in the flesh as you say so well and I can confirm that the camera lens did not improve these gems in any way because they look just as beautiful on the exhibition table! 👌

Thank you for the endless inspiration you produce my friend, fun with styrene! 😉

What a fantastic collection of models!  Variety, imagination, and skill are all evident - it looks like you're making the most of your retirement!  Let's hope that more of us will be able to so, either now for those who are already retired, or in the future for those of us still working.

Hello Claude, hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday season. I always enjoy your amazing creations. Your  imaginative builds have so many “little” details, the more you look, the more you see. A master at work! Great variety of subjects as usual, impossible for me to pick a favourite as I like them all for different reasons. I missed a few of these thru the year, so thank you for sharing again.

Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve!

Thank you, and the best to you in 24. I'm certain you'll surprise us with some high caliber stuff... Again!

I remember looking at most of these posts throughout the year and thinking to myself (more than once) “how does he do that?” Some truly awe inspiring stuff…looking forward to more in 24!

Merci Francis!

Your writing style has nothing to envy to Molière, you know!

Thank you James! At least, now I can tell my wife that I have a medical opinion about my addiction to styrene...

G'day maaate, you clearly have a wicked imagination, a bit like my, and you do beautiful work, but I do have one question for you, what is and where did you get that amazing gold on the Harley bike.

Kind regards,
