Most pleasurable builds

[The Smythe Meister]

Yes,I know it's been done before....
..... HOWEVER ,a lot of new members have joined since then,and besides,some of us might have changed our choices after building other kits since
Basically, what are your top 3 builds which have given you the most enjoyment?
Doesn't matter what genre, scale or cost........
(This isn`t a "Look what i`ve done" type of thing,just box art or Stock pictures will suffice..... or even just the written details:thumb2

OK then.....,.,
"Mr.Predictable" here .... all AFVs and all 1/35th!!:nerd:
My personal top 3 has somewhat changed from 3 or 4 years back.......
New in at number 3 is ........

A cracking little kit,cheap and with some slight additions results in a very pleasing model,
... Straight in at number 2.......

A change of interest occurred about 18 months ago,and a love of Vietnam based stuff reared it`s head,and this Sheridan was an absolute pleasure
STILL my number 1,when it comes to all things "Fun and pleasing" is this beauty of a kit.... PERFECT in any aspect of construction! ........



So there they are,not the Absolute top detailed kits,not the newest versions,and not expensive.BUT for pure enjoyment they stand out for me from all the kits that i`ve done over the last few years:thumb2:.

Well I doubt many can come close to those Chris. Simply stunning.

Very difficult to decide. My trouble is that each kit I do I enjoy it. This hobby is a wonderfully fulfilling way to relax in this stressful, topsy-turvy world.
I did enjoy these two. Both 1/72. They both sit on a 4" square base. Both very cheap, not very good kits, so maybe that's why I was so pleased with the way they turned out.

Well I have been having a look back and I think I can say I enjoyed them all. Mostly. There have been a couple that did not end well.
I think if I had to I would say the most enjoyable builds and results would have to be the Royal Navy aircraft I have built.
