What is the most satisfying model you have made?

[SimonT]

bit of a toss up between my very first full scratchbuild (a 1:76 Mk.IV female) or my 1:15(120mm) scratchbuilt Humber Pig or scratchbuilt 1:15 Horch Kfz.70 with 20mm flak and the one above which just nudges to the front by a smidgen

It is a Remington .36 Navy

Started life as an LS 1:1 plastic kit but 95% of it was rebuilt or altered in some way as it turned out to be a not very accurate kit - turned into a major rebuild to alter the basic shape so that it replicated the real thing

Ammo scratchbuilt and cast in resin and the cartridge box was based on a photo of a genuine one. The wooden display case was scratchbuilt from plastic card and a chopped about photo frame glass

https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...blinder.12395/. For me its got to be this one . One of my favourite soviet aircraft but only represented by the wildly inaccurate esci moulding (since reboxed by italeri and revell) I had to resort to some drastic surgery but i enjoyed the challenge . Sorry but the only pics ive got are on the forum hence the link above , the originals were lost when my old laptop packed in! Cheers tony

[Si Benson]

Totally agree with Alan....some most excellent modelling:smiling4:

I was going to add one of mine but most of my stuff looks like a 5yr old did it:smiling5:

[Steve Jones]

Well here is a two year olds efforts then. Even though I messed up the tracks I had a great time painting and detailing the Stug



Some terrific builds everyone. I am honoured to be part of this much talent

No, No, - it's not about the final appearance, it's the pleasure of building, and your own satisfaction that I mean. Few of my models are what you would call show class, but it's the personal feeling of fulfillment, immaterial of whether anyone else sees it!

Sorry Dave,
Have to admit to not reading the text, just looking at the pictures.....story of my life:smiling5:

I suppose the most satisfying build i've made is infact one that i had little to do with. This is my sons 1/72 Academy Typhoon and i have to say it was a joy to build with him. It's only his second ever model and he loves it. Although he has learned the hard way the curse of the Academy decals. They are really REALLY oop: . Still i suppose you don't have to be that involved to get the most satisfaction. I've a 1/72 P-51D to build with my other son next and i cannot wait.

If this was a competition, Alan wins hands down!

the Academy decals. They are really REALLY oop:

Really really lucky? (That’s the actual meaning of that smiley, but you need a Japanese cultural background to think of it that way j

I guess it would be this one it seemed to just build its self and was so easy no frustration building it I was very satisfied

What an interesting thread and so many outstanding models to show. People have a right to be proud.
Unlike many I didn't build models as a child. My very first model was after I retired. I needed a hobby - the wife told me so :rolling: I was so pleased with that very first model - I have certainly made better but that will always be special. Brush painted, no weathering and it even had a figure!!
