oortiz10's 2023 in 1/48

I decided to go with a personal theme of “Pairs” for 2023. As it turned out, all the pairs I completed were of helos. I had a pair of F-100s and AH-64s that didn’t make it across the finish line, but I’ll get 'em done in 2024. Sorry for posting these “late,” but I wasn’t able to access the site the past few days. Anyway, here’s what did get done.

Hello O!

That’s a very nice bunch, especially the pairs! I like your subject selection a lot. Too bad the F-100s didn’t make it, hope to see them done soon! Good luck with it and all the best in the new year!

Great stuff O! Love the helos

O, those are some excellent looking builds! The pairs idea is a great concept, but pulling that off for a whole year, wow!
The choppers look great, but I really love that Saber Dog!

Wow, those look great O!!!

Haven’t done a chopper in like forever! I really need to get one done!

And I can’t help myself:

Thanks for the pats on the back, gang. Sorry for the late response(s), but I have not had much luck with the FSM Forums lately. Still, I appreciate all the compliments.

I think I am going to continue with the “Pairs” theme for '24, considering I still have the Huns and Apaches to finish. There are a few other pairs that I’d like to get to this year. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get a good few done this year.

Cheers!

Great builds, O! I never cease to be amazed at your skills in turning hamburger kits into 5 star dinners…
