I was going to add this to Jordans thread but its better separate



Three headings for you all to complete

  • Completed in 2012
  • Biggest modelling disappointment
  • Favourite model built year



  • Finished in 2012
3 Westerns
3 Fruit D
Finney Stella
3 4ftx2ft 1:200 site plans
1/12 visualisation of a barn conversion
Lambourn signalbox 1/32
N13 horsebox
3 MMP catfish
1 MMP dogfish
Tamiya Matilda
2 Tamiya Tillys

  • Biggest disappointment

The inability to reproduce some reasonable 1/32 chairs and therefore trackwork, and coming round to the idea it is outdoors only.

  • My favourite model built

Not quite finished, but D1000, loving the Desert Sand
 

Dog Star

Completed in 2012? Nothing of importance.
Biggest disappointment? Not starting on our "big project".
Favourite model built? A MMP Dogfish which is being built by Peter.

That's quite a year!! Any chance of a "year end gallery" :thumbs:

As for me:
  • Completed in 2012 - choosing Scale7 and sticking to it!
  • Biggest disappointment - long stretches of time away from the bench.
  • My favourite model built - not finished but I am very pleased with my 517;

Completed in 2012 - Slaters PMVY wagon, Numerous Minerals wagons (Ex Triang / Big Big), thanks to Lancer1027 Rob. & 3 Express parcel wagons from Slaters (Ex Blue spot fish vans).

Biggest disappointment - Not finding enough time to do a lot more on my workbench.

Favourite model made - Think this is the RTC Departmental Generator van (Ex Blue Spot Fish Van) which still needs transfers finishing.

I would love to see a 2012 gallery from Cynric as well :):thumbs:..........

& with this in mind, here's my 2012 'Little Shop of Horrors' gallery :D

2012 started with me doing the final bits & pieces to GFYE Hymek D7013.........

XL806250.JPG

& was followed by the Westdale 121, which off & on has taken more or less all of 2012 to finish :oops:.......

XL807582.JPG

as a distraction, when frankly I had lost interest in doing the 121 I also did these two :).

XL807033-001.JPG

XL807580.JPG

The back end of the year was spent doing these two MK1's, before going back to the 121 :).

XL807629.JPG

XL807553.JPG

Now that the 121 is finally finished :oops:, I will probably be making a start on the Westerns early in 2013 with a view to having both in service in the 2013 Withercombe summer timetable :)

Cheers Phill :)

I cant show a lot of it because they are either commercial properties/developments or for commissions. Tbh there isnt much interesting about yet another Blue western or Fruit D...... there are some Catfish kicking about somewhere and there are still two here to finish.

Phill thats a nice selection, as a snapshot it captures the very early seventies, without actually telling anyone what the date is

In retrospect quite a good year (by my standards) I have also started a "Fruit D" and successfully cast Rich Brown's 7mm LBSC wagon in resin.

Biggest disappointment is no new pointwork and hardly anything achieved on the Garden line.

Plus not progressing the 122 cab in resin project.

I'm most pleased with the Manning Wardle which represented several modelling "firsts" for me.

Good to see lots of things being made and finished :thumbs:
An old boy said to me many years ago "you can count all the rivets you like, but you have to know when to draw the line and build the damn thing" also known as 'paralysis through analysis', and that is what I have tried to move on from this year.
