    @gblair Iโ€™m not going anywhere, I got a lot I can still posit I already built

    A friend asked the other day how many i built, so I counted them up

    22, 1/12th scale and 14, 1/6th scale and one bicycle. All in less than 3 years ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Cricket (@bikequeen): 1/6 scale is so cool, and very large. If I was building motorcycle, I would build 1/6. But they are also really expensive. I have seen bicycle kits, but I have never seen an actual bicycle built. Very cool.

    @gblair the bike was fun and quick. But the cables are way out of scaleโ€ฆI could fix it but I had moved on to other things ๐Ÿ™‚

    Well done, my friend @bikequeen! The Kawasaki looks excellent! Well done on your 3-year modeling production run, too, quite impressive! As for the resolved issue, it is great that it is resolved.

    Great list of models, Cricket (@bikequeen). I am sure there are fewer last year than before because you are tackling more complex kits and becoming more of a craftsman. Looking forward to your 2024 builds.

    @gblair thats a told of 54 models in 2 years! Thats more than I have built in my enter life! And yes I agree they are more complex now with add on parts. And I started building the bikes in October 2021, and that is when my skill level really amped up, I was scared to touch these expensive kits because I was afraid I would ruin them. Now I keep pushing the envelope ๐Ÿ™‚

    The best one so far was the Yamaha YZR-RIM that was HOT! And of course the Kawasaki Ninja HR Caron. But itโ€™s hard to pick a favorite ๐Ÿ™‚

    An impressive list of great builds, Cricket @bikequeen
    To be honest, all builds I have seen from you so far are all beauties.
    You modelling skills are superb, and no, I'm not exagerrating.
    Looking forward to your 2024 builds.
