With selling a house and moving, I actually finished more models last year than I thought I had.

It's gonna take a few pages, but here they be:

Very impressive! Can't wait to see what you do in the next year without the distractions. I would have trouble picking a favorite. Thanks for sharing.

Curt, I'm impressed! Such a wide variety of subjects built with this level of attention to detail, and nicely photographed as well. 2011 was obviously a great year for you!

Ignorant inquiry of the day: Tell me about the tires on the Marlboro Alpha Romeo. Are they some type of rain tire?

Great line up, buddy, you most certainly fed us lots of great eye candy in 2011. I hope you don't slow down in 2012. Keep up the inspiration!

Curt your builds never disappoint! Always super clean and smooth. I love that you did all of those F1 cars. I also have two of the Lotus 79's, one Tamiya and one Hasegawa. I have the aftermarket decals to do the two versions you did...I am looking forward to getting into those. I also really like that "not often built" Alfa..and your dad's pickup came out great too.

Very nice and large collection....no one can "pidgin hole" you into one style of car, you cover them all.

Wow! Absolutely Wow! Curt that is an amazing collection of builds. The range is great too from classic hot rods to great F1 cars. Thanks for showing all of 2011's builds at once to show your diversity.

I just noticed that your other F1 cars had slicks while this one has tires with a fairly deep tread for a race car.

After a little digging, I found a review of the model you built http://www.mrof1engi...uk/?page_id=373 . The author notes that Protar equipped this one with "wet-weather rubber" and he seemed surprised that they went that route instead of just providing slicks like most race cars.

Very nice eclectic collection. Is the big blue truck classified as a COE?

Bob

Yes, it would be a COE...SuperCab, CrewCab, i.e. sized

Very,very impressive builds!!!!!,my favorites are the F1's especially the Tyrrell P34,always liked the F1 kits but for some reason they never liked me.

As always, so impressive, both from the technical aspect and because of the range and depth. Some builds were simple and executed largely to enjoy the subject matter and/or the kit, while others ran deep on the creativity and construction challenge side. It serves to remind me how liberating skill and confidence can be, particularly if one enjoys the hobby as much as you so obviously do. All the best in 2012!
