With the year ending I would like to whish everyone a happy new year 2014 full of modeling
I has now been almost one year that I have taken up modeling and it all started with me receiving a very ugly metal tank model as a gift from a colleague which sat on my desk for some time until I decided to look online for something better. I ended up buying my first Tamiya M1A2 tank that week and one thing led to the other and here I am one year later hooked up to the most exciting and entertaining hobby in the world.
Here is a recap of the models I did this year and thanks to all Armorama members for your advice which have helped me improve in every aspect of my modeling.
Cheers
Hussein

Very Nice work Hussein !!

Which kits & figures did you use ?

Nice collection you have managed to in just one year. And for your first year great work. I wish I made such models when I first started.

Cheers,

JW

You certainly have had a good year! Above all I like that pickup, very well done.

Salaam Hussein,

congratulations on a busy and most successful modelling year 2013!
As Jan Willem correctly mentioned, I would have been equally proud, had I produced such quality in my first year!!

May 2014 be a true continuation of your modelling "career"!!

Cheers

Nice beginnings for sure, My first year was nowhere near as good as that! Of course I started at about age 5 or 6 so....I suppose I can be excused?
I also liked your pick-up truck the best.

A fantastic review of your 2013 work. I love them all.

Very nice review of some well built models. I wish my earlier attempts had been as good!

Thanks Everyone, the last two models will be part of a diorama I am building in the new year
