spencer1984 Posted December 31, 2023 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!

ismaelg Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Quite a collection for the year! I think we all had a crush on Cheetara....
Phildaupho Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Very interesting and varied collection of projects
vincen47 Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 At age 44, there’s a whole lot of nostalgia in those builds. Brought me a lot of smiles. Thank you.
Yeah Nah Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Certainly a productive year Bill! And all quality builds too.
Gustavo Reis Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Amazing collection. The Family Truckster is my favorite.
XYHARRY Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 That's impressive Bill, do you ever sleep? Well done on a very productive year. Cheers, David. ??
TooOld Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Holy moly you had a busy year ! Great looking collection !
spencer1984 Posted January 1, 2024 Author Posted January 1, 2024 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
