What a year it's been. Came to insta to follow creators I liked, but I ended up meeting some of the nicest people ever and making some truly extraordinary friends that I am happy to know.

It all started with the 2014 movie that I'm sure your all vaguely familiar with, which led to seeing amazing models, then before I knew it, boom live streams and followers and meeting veterans and forming partnerships to last a lifetime.

You people are amazing and I value each of you. The #vietnamgb2021 was probably the biggest spearhead into this hobby. It all came from there, and I will value you all dearly. 

I only got around to making 2 build, the third I don't have photos for. But you will see some spoilers for the next projects. Thank you all and have yourselves a happy new year!

So its the last day of 2021, lets look back on what I've achieved this year.

So my first build was an @officialairfix Bristol Bulldog in 1/72 scale. As you can see its not amazing, with wobbly lines and 'interesting' paintwork on the metallic sections. 

My second build was the @eduardcompany Bf 110 'Adlertag' in 1/48. There is an obvious difference between this and the Bulldog, with a crisp paint scheme and nice weathering. Built for @viper_models #ageofthepropgb 

My third build the @officialairfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon. The kit came with a nice internal gun bay which I utilized to full effect. My second entry to @viper_models #ageofthepropgb 

My fourth build the @icm.kits Supermarine Spitfire IX in 1/48 scale. I used a rivet tool and scratch built some internal details. Also yes I know, wonky invasion stripes (its intentional). Built for @cadet_miniatures #herogb 

My fifth build, the @officialairfix Bedford MWC. Built for the #instablitzbuild whereby you have to fully construct a model in under 24 hours. I used the hairspray method to create the dust effect which I am very pleased about. 

My sixth build was the @officialairfix 1/72 MiG-17 Fresco. My first time using @hatakahobby paints and I was not dissapointed. Built for two group builds, the #vietnamgb2021 by @all.things.models and @possiblytjmartin and the #coldwargb hosted by me.

My seventh build, the 1/32 "Burma '44" figure and base. One of my dads old toy soldiers that i spiced up with a bit of paint! 

My eighth build the @eduardcompany Hawker Tempest Mk.V series 2 in 1/48 scale accompanied by the @icm.kits RAF figures in the same scale. This is 100% my favorite build of the year, showing just how far I've progressed since that shoddy Bulldog, with exhaust stains, paint fading, and loads of other cool techniques. Built as a buddybuild with @all.things.models 

My ninth and final build of the year, the @warhammerofficial Gretchin.

Last but not least I would love to say a thank you to everyone who's made this year, weather you've just said a little comment or weather you message all the time. Thank you, I couldn't do it without you!

And I have one word for 2022... TANKS!
