spencer1984 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 My theme for this year was "Toys & Games" - builds inspired by (or actually made from) video games, traditional toys, general nostalgia, a casino, and an amusement park. I got a lot done this year, ranging from one-evening "relax and build something" sets to multi-year builds, and from a 75¢ garage sale find to a $125 3D printed kit. I tried some lighting, some figure painting, some scratchbuilding, and yes, even one straight-out-of-the-box. As usual, everything is 1/24(ish), and all comments/criticisms are welcome. Happy New Year, everybody!

spencer1984 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Thanks, guys! I had a head start with a few of them being unfinished projects that just needed me to stop procrastinating. Hopefully I can continue the trend and improve my stats-to-built ratio! 17 hours ago, vincen47 said: At age 44, there’s a whole lot of nostalgia in those builds. Brought me a lot of smiles. Thank you. Same age here, a big part of this year was my own nostalgia kick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
