2001 - 2021 - 20th Anniversary December Ping

[lastvautour]

The forum is having excellent success having had 2.6 millions views to date. The gallery continues to slowly increase its viewership with 4.1 million views.

I would ask that members having joined the 20th SMM and 100th RAAF anniversary cook-ups/group builds provide updates.

Additionally, please post photos of completed project during 2021 for inclusion in the 2021 Yearbook. The current model counts stands at 50. http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/SMF/index.php?topic=1847.0

As per last year, the yearbook will be in the form of a PDF and will feature a tribute to Barry aka Balsabasher. Other members will be feature one at a time in future yearbooks as long as I am able to do so. As always, suggestion on improving the yearbook are welcomed.

I'm still working on my Dakota, wings on at last. Next (thanks to Ken Noble) will be a Tutor followed by a T33. 87 is on the near horizon, but Elvis and I share a birthday, I'll make it, he didn't!. I can accept slowing down, as long as I can keep carving.

The FOF3 is finished and posted. A fun project. I might be starting another model before Christmas. We'll have to see what comes up
