What with it now being 2007, (Happy new year by the way!) I was thinking back over last year and wondering how many kits/dioramas I managed to get finished over 2006.
As far as I can remember I think I finished off:

-1/72 Africa korps Marder Diorama
-1/35 Stug III with Panzer Grenadiers
-1/35 'Checking on the front' diorama (German general inspecting front line positions in Normandy 1944)
-1/32 'Charging Desert Rats' Diorama with Crusader III tank
-1/16 German machine gunner at rest

Ive impressed myself there considering Its been a busy year!

So, how productive was your year?

James

That's quite a few dioramas in one year -very nice.

I did quite a few so it was a productive year. I'll remember it mostly by the completion of my pirates diorama "Sparrow"

Feature

My list is somewhat short, but longer than 2005.

- Seil Models 54mm 1st Sgt, US Army, US-Mexican War
- 1/35 Whippet Medium Tank
- Chas C Stadden Duke of Wellington at Waterloo (+- 80mm)

Still in progress from 2006:

- Tamiya 120mm DAK Tanker
- Pegaso 54mm Crusader Knight in the Holy Land
- GWS Warhammer Questing Knight (28mm?)

I was having a real good year myself also, it kind of surprised me that with all the travel I do I was able to get all this done.

Revell of Germany M1038, Academy wheels; Eduard etch for M1036 (Wheels-Move it! again)
Trumpeter JGSDF Type 87, OOB (Modern Armor)
Bandai Extra Zero Eight on Diorama base, OOB (Mecha Madness)
Tamiya Lotus 25, Engine wiring, intake screening, brake lines (Gentlemen-Start Your Engines!)
Revell XL1200 LTD Water Craft Racer (Granite State Modelers Club Build)
Italeri Stinger Missile Launcher, (Rockets and Missiles – 2006)
Tamiya M1046, Calibre 35 conversion, Blast wheels, ProArt radio (Humvees!)


So far this year there are already two done that were started last year:
Academy M997 Ambulance, Verlinden update, Tamiya wheels (A-Guard!)
AMT 1996 Ford Explorer, wired engine (Brother's truck)

I guess I may be a campaign hound since most of the builds were for here! :-) :-) :-) :-)

This will be a slower build year as I started ripping apart my work area to rebuild it with new walls and built in counters.

1/48 Tamiya Panther G

Thiw was my best year yet since I got back into the hobby. Part of it was because I got my self a room to do my models and i was better organized. The big thing was I just built for the fun of it without getting worried about the kits being totally accurate.

Jeff

Not the best year for me.. had too much other stuff going on..

finished

1/77 Ford Tri-Motor
1/35 Tamiya LRDG CWT30
1/72 Zis 5v by pst..

and on the workbench at about 80%
Pz IV F1 and a M18 Hellcat..

Glad to hear ya'll had a good year.

Mine was not so good: got one kit finished. A 1/35 T-72A (which I actually completed over New Year's break but am counting it for 2006)

2005 was a much better year and I'm hoping, with 8 kits on the workbench right now, that 2007 will be an improvement. Come to think of it--how could it not!? Can one finish negative kits? I guess if one fell off the shelf it could end up in the debit column! :-)

Here's to a banner year!

Here is my year in review (finished builds) - for me pretty darn productive!

I guess I didn't do too bad after all. Off the top of my head:

1/35 234/4 (DML)
1/35 WC-51 "Beep" (AFV Club)
1/35 SdKfz 222 (Tamiya)
1/48 Tiger I Final (AFV Club)
1/48 Firefly IC (Tamiya)
1/48 Krupp Protze (Tamiya)
1/72 P-51D Mustang (Tamiya)
1/72 Bradley (DML)
1/72 Tie Interceptor (Fine Molds)

I've got a handful of kits that didn't see completion in 06, but they're close. Most notably a 1/35 Tiger I Initial (DML), 1/48 Stug G (Tamiya), and 1/72 SdKfz 223 (ICM).

Been a busy year for me !

Tony,
That would be a good question to start in a new thread.

I have a 1/32 F-16A I picked up in Kunsan, South Korea while stationed there in 1991. I started it that year and have yet to complete it.

It hasn't been sitting idle, I do work on it every few months, mostly the interior stuff. I keep re-building and repainting things like the cockpit, gun, and afterburner.

I keep telling myself "One of these days I will hit it hard...."

Not a bad year.

Tamiya M1025, Leo 2, M113A2
Academy M998 IED
Trumpeter Chally 2

Don't know about productive - destructive might describe it better! Total kits completed - 0. House moves achieved - 1. Motorcycles wrecked- 2! (However I did finish putting one of them back together over Christmas, so does this count as 1, albeit 1/1 scale?)

Basically it was this productive :



Got inspired by Sticky's poster, hope he'll forgive me
Cheers
Greg

LOL yeah I know but when the editor says stop what your doing I need XYZ, you do! But don't fear there are 3 more StuG's on the bench almost ready for paint!

4 items actually finished.



But as some other projects were not finished during 2006, it looks like 2007 could be my most productive for a long time. Panther A, ssys and ommr rail cars will count towards 2007, as will Dragon´s Jaboschrek, which is in the weathering stages, at the moment!

let's see
Sherman Firefly
Flakvierling 38
IDF Logamim (m-113)
IDF Fitter
IDF Nagman II (M-113)
YPR-765 (m-113-ish)

WIP

Jagdtiger (on hold for the 6 moths)
King tiger (still needs paint)
IDF M-60 blazer (what I am working on at the moment)

So it has been a good year for me

Loving the collages some of you guys are posting, Its great to see what a years work can produce!
Have yet to photograph any of my kits but its on the 'to do' list (You know, the one you never get around to!)
