My 14 builds of 2024

[Phildaupho]

I could hardly believe it when I counted my 2024 builds. I had an extremely productive car modelling 2024 - completing 14 projects of a wide variety of subjects with a 15^th almost done. How the heck was able to build that many models? I always had a project on my bench that I worked away on in spare time or during crappy weather. The first completion was almost done before the end of 2023. Four were essentially curbsides which are quicker builds. With the XKE group build I just had to do the final assembly. Discounting those six, there were still eight significant builds and the last one was completed very early December. All models were painted with Tamiya spray which can give great, easy results right out of the can and dries almost immediately. Most models received very little or no post paint polishing allowing me to move onto the next project. I cannot see myself ever repeating this build total again.

Phil...I think you had a great year.  Some really outstanding models.  But why stop there. Go for 15 for 2025.

Great looking group of builds

Great group of varied subjects.  I really dig the lobster car and the GT-40s.

Nice work. Love the limefire.

[Lobo2me]

Wow...what a great year. Supurb builds, each and every one! You even got Ol Shell in there, and I particularly enjoyed the Ford GTs. Keep building in 2025....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

They are all gorgeous Phil, and with wonderful diversity. I know practically nothing from pre-war cars but the last one really gets me fired up. Who knew a beige car could look so menacing! I love it and greatly admire your work.

Ford racers and deuce rods, there’s a lot to like here, all beautiful builds, but that red lobster racer just has to be one of the best race car livery’s I think I’ve seen. Top notch. 👍🏻

All 14 are excellent, my personal favourite is probably the E-type.

[spencer1984]

Lots of  great subjects and clean work this year - nicely done!

[Zippi]

I'm really diggin all your builds for 2024 Phil.  I really like the Hot Rods.

Hi Phil!

Wow, what a year it was. And one could argue you a have a certain penchant for "blue oval" stuff, thinking that for a while, Ford was also the owner of Jaguar. Oh well...

If I may: what is the exact color on the beige 5 windows? Really nice!

Thanks Claude - Tamiya TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan if you can still find Tamiya. It gives a satin finish so I clear coated it

Beautiful looking paint work and colors. Like the competition models and their detailing. The '32's all look great.
