2022 was a year of starts and stops when it came to my modeling, the result being only 5 models got done, with three others waiting to get completed in the next few weeks. For some reason I tended to focus on a specific car for multiple builds. I started the year building 2 non-TRaKables, Jaguar XK120s, paused completing anything, and then reeled off three Ford Model A’s in a row. In between I started and researched other projects but these are the ones I completed. The 2 Jags were notable in that they were the first metal-bodied models I’ve ever built, the roadster being the Monogram kit and the coupe based on a Bburago die cast. I’ve included links to the pages for them them over on DPMCC.

Thanx for lookin’, and best wishes to you all for a happy and fulfilling 2023.

The engineering on the Tudor is super cool, and I dig the vintage-photo vibes of the "Sea-and-Sun". Happy New Year, and all the best for 2023!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5
