Joe's Slow Year at the Bench

[406 Silverado]

This past year has not been my most productive modeling year as there have been a number of real life setbacks and issues to contend with BUT.......by golly.....I did crank out ONE completed build this year which was my 2017 Camaro "Fifty" by AMT. I've also managed to get most of the way through the AMT 1970 Corvette that I've been building since April. Most of what killed off this years production of no more than one completion was due to the amount of detail that I've been putting into this Vette but it's definitely been a fun venture. 

Anyways.....here's photos of the AMT Camaro that I did wind up finishing:










And then where I'm at currently with the Corvette. I should be finishing this one up in a few weeks so I can get started on that Ta-152 for the Butcher Bird GB coming up soon:

Beautiful Camaro Joe! You may have had a slow year on your bench, but away from it you were running full speed! Congrats on accomplishing ANYTHING with the amount of effort you put into bringing this forum back to life!

[atomicholiday]

Maybe you only finished one build (me too!), but wow! What a beautiful build it is! That Camaro is smoking hot.
Doesn’t matter how many you finish anyway. It’s all about the journey my friend.👍

We all have those busy slow modeling years. You did do some nice work when you had the time Joe

[dukemaddog]

Your one build is so sensational, it puts paid to all my efforts! What a stunning build! And that Camaro; did you fire up that engine to see how well it runs? You may not be quantitatively productive, but your quality for outshines all!

[Tojo72]

Quality not quantity,after all look at all the time spent running this place.

[jeaton01]

I appreciate that you have worked so hard on the forum, Joe. How does that engine run, pretty well I bet!

[reserve]

Quantity? Bah who cares no one sez you have to do a hundred a year. Maybe next year!

[castelnuovo]

"One but golden" as we say in Croatia. Well done. Happy and productive New Year.

I would give you a 1.5 for the year. The Vette is so close

[deafpanzer]

Joe, it may have been a slow year for you to finish one build but you have successfully recruited 5,000 new members here so I consider it a great year for everybody.

[dupes]

Ooooh, that Camaro is hot! The Vette body already looks really good, too.

I came to say the exact same thing Andy did right above me. You took the time to completely resurrect a forum! That counts as a lot of finished builds.

Very nice Joe!
