      I’ve been following this thread, and have been thinking a fair deal about what I would consider my most pleasurable builds, but I can’t come up with any that stand out … I guess it’s just not a criterium I pay much attention to — for me, things stand out more because of the amount of work needed to get to where I wanted to go, or even because they were unpleasurable to build

        First time I have seen this one. Better than my 1/35 efforts!

          Just spotted this thread whilst playing 'Catch up'
          All my builds have been fun, but here's my most pleasurable and why.

          'Zulu, The Store House. Rorke's Drift....January 1879'. I managed to paint nearly 500 1/72 figures and kept my sanity!

          'A haven for a retired Revell Lucky XI tug boat.' The fun, great feedback and crack I had from folks made the making of this just superb. The terrific input from members made the story line go off the chart. Just ace....

          'A P-40 Kittyhawk lost in the Egyptian Desert.' Only the second time I've tried to copy real photographs. A bit of a tribute to the true story of a pilot's sad fate during WW2.

          'The Liberation of a French village - and some cheese and wine!' This started with just an idea - a village street and a bridge. Yet again, the input from members set me off on a journey where I had no idea where I was going. Ideas and suggestions piled in during the build.....Some physically impossible! :flushed:

          Cheers.

            I remember most all of those 570 and they were definitely some very "Entertaining" projects......the evolution of which would be an understatement. Thanks for hosting our "banter" network! :thumb2:

              Host? I'm merely a fully paid up member! Thanks for the nice comments too Rick.

                  Thanks Ian.
                  As I wrote, it felt as though members were mucking in and building the things with me. That is what made them so enjoyable, not so much the end results.
