The word has been given from on high that my Sea JAguar will likely be the last thing I have time to build in 2006...so here is my tally for the year-12 models.  Clearly I have a fondness of 1/72 UK models, but there are a few others in there too.  The first build of the year was my Secret Santa Skyraider Firebomber, the last the Sea Jag I finished yesterday.  The IDF Harrier was technically a restoration, not a build, but what the hell...I count it!

I also did 12 last year, but a couple were real-world armor-this year was all whiff!







Number 12 was built in England and stayed there



So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Nice collection you have there!  :cheers:
Hell, year is not finished yet, can you do a 13rd model in the last two weeks of 2006 ?  ^_^  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I just checked my tally and have a total of 4 done, only 1 of which is a Whiff.

Impressive array of beauties there.
Where do you display them?
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

AD, that is a beautiful collection! I don't know how you can crank out one a month and still have them come out so great...very envious.
