Here is a collage of Most of my model builds from 2013(excluding dioramas). I did a similar submission last year but unfortunately I don't have all of these models anymore or are displayed/stored in different locations, so I had to settle for a collage. A couple models didn't make this collage due to composition (M113 fire support, behemoth and XDF 502).

This shot not only represents hundreds of hours of work but my second year of scale modeling and being on DA. 2013 was a really great year for me and looking back I am amazed I did all this! 2013 also is the year that I really worked up the skills, courage and madness to start building stuff I could think up and really thinking outside the "box". Almost like "leveling up" there was a HUGE difference between my work in 2012 and 2103 with steady improvement along the way. I hope that soon with my airbrush, I'll be able level up again, making 2014 anther fun and awesome year in my hobby.

Looking back and seeing improvement is always good but the mistakes stick out more. Allot of the time this hobby is a comedy of errors that you slowly lean to never repeat. Like the first year (and I am sure this year and many more to come) 2013 was chuck full of "learning experiences". Already more than a few of these models have been parted out or given away but some of these I think are good enough to sit in my display shelf for years (despite their flaws) .I can only hope that I can rise to the challenge once again for this year, push myself and hopefully by next year have models that are even better than these! Hope everyone has a productive and awesome 2014.!

What were some of your BIGGEST "learning experiences" in 2013?
As always questions, comments and suggestions are welcome!
