Little Electronic Art ProjectsIndulge me in a little #scalemodel #2022roundup? My first full year back into the hobby and looking back it is hard to believe how much water has passed under the bridge. My strategy was pretty much "try it all asap!!", so the 36 projects I completed in 2022 tell a pretty chaotic story!
* 7 planes in-flight/take-off (yes, @beckersmodels is right). The year started with a J10 homage to the 4 leading female aerobatic pilots of the PLAAF and ended with the J20 shooting thru the clouds. Though I think the Buccaneer skimming the waves is still my fave
* 7 planes on the ground: mainly RAAF, IJA/IJN, and the most beautifully ugly Gannet
* 6 nautical dioramas: I think my home base is making 1:700 ships in watery scenes
* 5 misc vehicles: from tanks to a cute little Daihatsu Midget
* 4 flying tigers: a P-40 theme emerged with a couple of flying tigers and then got increasingly weird with egg-scale and macross/warhammer inspired #sf invention
* 3 walnuts: highlight of the year has to be doing a little Kü@übelwagenmagic in a walnut shell that inspired the JMC walnut challenge
* 3 figure-centric dioramas and a 1:700 chess set
Having been round the houses this year, I'll perhaps slow down a bit and focus more on story supported by figures in 2023.
Finally a shout-out to all the scale model #podcast - my main source of inspiration and learning. I don't think I'd be doing this without you all.
