Every year on other Forums I've been a member of, we have always posted a Year in Review. After all, a year is a long time and many times we forgot who built what. Besides, it's always a thrill going back and seeing older models from earlier in the year so one can see masterful work again; or watch the improvement progression of other modelers. In that spirit, I'm starting out with my 2017 year in review. I'm posting here since it's all about models and should generate some great discussion once others post their years in review as well.
I'm going in order that they were finished here as far as I can.
Okay, starting back in January, here are all my models I finished in 2017:
Hasegawa 1/72 scale German K-5 Leopold Rail Gun:
Academy's 1/72 scale Boeing B-377 Stratocruiser civilian airliner done in Pan American Airlines markings.
Terminal-eye view:
Slightly higher angle from the rear:
Different angle again (I wanted to shoot from higher up but missed):
Final upper view:
This shot has an Exacto knife in it for size reference to show what a 'horse' this thing is!
Next: Revell 1/72 scale Sport Fishing Boat:
Next is the ancient ESCI 1/72 scale F-8H Crusader:
Next is my effort in honoring Hippy Ed's memory with this Hippy Ed Tribute Build of the 1/72 scale Trumpeter RA-5C Vigilante done up in Hoot Owl's squadron markings:

Joe is right, I tend to spend a lot more time building than surfing Forums... even though I'm a member of at least four now! 
all I can say is “I’m not worthy!” Haha!
