I know a lot of you have been building scale models for years. I thought it might be nice if everyone could post a picture or two of the build you consider your best ever and post another picture of the build you consider your favorite build (The two might be one and same, but might not be as well).
I would post a picture of mine, but I only have two model's I've completed in the last 4 years since I came back to the hobby, went away, then came back this fall.

Well for me because of the scale and subjects I build, I only complete a project once every couple of years or so...usually it's like every 5 years. So with that in mind I will say that my favorite completed build would have to be the 1/25th scale Ferdinand. 100 percent scratch-built, including wheels and tracks.

That looks pretty sweet! That it's scratchbuilt makes it even better.

My best and favorite build is always in the making, as I never seem able to complete a model in a flawless finish I'm happy with! Once that happens it's time to quit modeling, because it means there is no goal left to reach.  |

I finished this scene about 4 years ago. But it probably remains my favorite diorama.  I I remember this one! Sharp! |

Wow that is a really difficult question! My favorite has to be this 1/48 Tiger:   My best... I really don't know. This one has been popular if that means anything.  or maybe this one?  |

I looked up the build thread on this, now I have to go to the hospital to get my dislocated jaw fixed. Did you enter this into any competitions and did it win? |

I loved that one! My favorite part was the use of the fan grill for the landing deck. Genius! |

The only thing TRM's truck needs is a "I'm the NRA, and I vote!" sticker. Although, I must say I have never seen a Ford truck rust like that. Chevy/GMC yes, but not Ford.

This is not my best but my first and foremost favorite. I feel that I have not built my best,i'm still work toward that goal. This Jadgtiger was the first model I built when I returned to modeling since I was a kid. I went whole hog with PE,Friul tracks,RB barrel,zimmerite and all the weathering techniques of the day. I read every post on all the forums and questioned every builder that would take the time to advise me. My Thanks to each and everyone of you.     Tony lee |

Tony for your first build after returning that is phenomenal!
It was just foreshadowing of what was to come.

Okay I'll bite,this is a Dragon Stug III w/zimm.I really enjoyed this,it went together real nice.Verlinden figures and Legend Stowage.    |
