A lot of models which you was able to complete. All with a great result and certainly something to put in the collection in the showcase. Wish you further good inspirations and much fun in the hobby. Have a great Christmas, John. Greetings, Joachim

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Many thanks Joachim! Yeah it was a good year on the bench and a great year watching all the other builds on YT. Merry Christmas my friend and happy new year!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Nice builds John. So looking forward to the Stuka!! You said your A-10 was your first time with Cartograph.. your Airfix spit had cartograph decals...

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Nige! Yes, you are correct thanks I did those before the A-10. I forgot that. Yes, that Stuka will be great and thank you again for the decals I do appreciate it mate. Cheers.

Thanks, you too buddy! Be well and thanks for watching.

[@PetesKits]

Pretty awesome looking builds you've done this year. Love the A10 and the Spit. Wish I had room for one of those. Keep up the great work mate!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Pete. Lovely kits, I have them on the coffee table presently! Cheers

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear John Alec, This is a lovely collection of models! I can’t say anything more than that really. It was the Spitfire that brought me to your channel as I recall- and then that excellent Voyager probe! I had to get one when I saw yours! Thanks very much for giving me a shout there, that was very kind! By the way, I suspect that the challenge of that project may be imparting the twist into the magnetometer boom! How did you fare with that bit? Best regards, Z

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Right on thanks Zinzan for checking this out. Oh man that boom was such a pain! Just time and borrowed patience to get through that. And good CA glue. Looking forward to yours mate. Cheers

[@acfnugget7880]

Just been following your channel for only a few weeks so haven't had a chance to catch up on a lot of your back catalogue. That being said, may I compliment you on your skills! Your pre-shading/mottling is really spectacular with IMO the perfect balance between letting the mottle show through but not too much (I always feel a lot of skilled builders show too much show through). Obviously that's just my opinion and I have to say my own skills leave a lot to be desired though, lol. Looking forward to your builds of 2024!👍👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you ACF, I really appreciate that! Thanks for the feedback. It's a part of the process I enjoy doing as well. 2024 should be a good year on the bench I'm wrapping up a few builds and starting some others. Cheers

[@slougo5909]

NICE WORK John

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Slougo!

[@billray7703]

Nice models you built. Good work.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you very much Bill!

[@JETScaleModels]

All right man good review of your years work got me wishing I had a 124 scale spitfire so I could grow my channel ha ha

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya mate! Yeah, that thing blew up the channel which was nice. I've got the new MiniArt p47 deluxe on pre-order. Cheers

[@MannsModelMoments]

You've got some fantastic builds there John, and you've kinda stocked my interest in doing a car model in 2024, and finishing the Tamiya bike I started in 2022. I have to say though, my god that Avanti is an ugly car! Looking forward to your build video though - you're a braver man than me taking on an old AMT car tool! I am slightly disappointed that you built an egg plane though...;-) Keep up the good work, friend!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Haha thanks Alex! Yeah, that Avanti was a dog. And I bought the AMT Bonneville at the same time, tooled at the same time as that Avanti. Going to collect dust. That Mazda RF was brilliant. Be well buddy and thanks for watching - Cheers
