A look at Rocket Punch in 2023
Oof… nothing went right for me in 2023. Things started well enough though and I was on track to finish a few kits by the first quarter. Then everything went down hill from there. To summarize: All this is to say that I only finished one kit for 2023. I do have a many in …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2022
I’m sounding like a broken record but I completed 11 kits for 2022. I’m again one short of my target of a dozen kits built. Seriously, how hard can it be to get a dozen done? Some stats about my site and builds: I published 22 posts for a total of 15,587 words the site …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2021
I finished 11 kits (again) for 2021! I was one short of my target even though the Covid-19 pandemic was still ongoing and I was home a lot more. I also didn’t have a ‘shitty’ build this year which would have eaten up a lot of time so I’m not quite sure why I slowed …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2020
I finished 11 kits in 2020! I would have finished 12 if not for the long build that F-16A TOPGUN 51 turned out to be. In any case, at the beginning of the year I set a target of 10 completed so I managed to go 1 kit beyond the target. Unfortunately it’s not because …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2019
I finished 8 kits in 2019. That’s less than 2018 and again falling short of my target of 12. I actually had the 9th kit on the finishing stages but a last minute disaster means I’ll only be able to finish it in 2020. My favorite build of 2019 was definitely the VF-1S Super Strike …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2018
I finished 9 kits in 2018. That’s 1 more than 2017, but I was short 3 kits from my target of 12. Ah well… life beckoned. Among these 9 kits, I was most happy with my ‘Cover Fire’ vignette since it has quite a few firsts for me including figure painting, making ruins, heavy weathering …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2017
So I completed 8 kits in 2017: This is 1/3 less than what I completed in 2016. I took a short trip in June and ended up not doing any building till September. Although I finished less kits, I think my work has improved with construction being neater that resulted in less seamline fixing. I …...
A look at Rocket Punch in 2016
So I was a lot more active in updating the site in 2016. But it’s for one obvious reasons I just built more models. Still, it’s interesting to see the growth the site has seen. Some facts from 2016: There were a total of 90 posts. There were a total of 10,994 visitors. They totaled …...
A look back at 2016
12 is definitely a huge milestone for me as I’ve never ever completed more than 4 in a year. I hope I can build on this and perhaps get more builds done. Then perhaps the mountain that is my stash will finally start to lower? 😀 That being said, I could have probably finished more …...
A look back at 2015
First and foremost, I finished the most kits in… ever! 4 isn’t a lot, but considering I’ve only ever finished 3 kits a year and with my last kit being finished in 2012, this is a big deal!...
