Year-in-Review

Continuing the series of retrospectives, let’s take a look at year 2024. Similar to 2023, in a global, geopolitical sense the year was very bad from my perspective, which of course affected my mental well-being. However, from the modelling standpoint it was not bad at all. While I only completed one model this year, I had great fun with those in progress, and grew as a modeller while doing so.

Continuing the series of retrospectives, let’s take a look at year 2023. While in a global, geopolitical sense the year was just as bad as 2022 (at least from my perspective), from the modelling standpoint it was actually fairly good. On the surface of it, I only completed two models. But it’s the model that count, not the total number. HMS Terror

I like the ‘year in review’ format I tried for the first time last year, so here we go again. No point in sugarcoating it - 2022 was a terrible, terrible year, with horrible war starting in Europe. Of course this affected all parts of my life, including hobbies, as I was too depressed and anxious to bring myself back to it.

First time I’m doing this ‘year in review’ thing, decided to give it a try. Turns out, I only completed two models this year, mostly thanks to the fact that sailing ships take enormous amount of time to finish. I track the days I worked on the models, but not the amount of time, which of course varies from 20 minutes to multiple hours. I can work on more than one model in a single day, so adding those numbers up is kinda misleading.
