Well, all the 13 models I finished this year are restorations of old diecasts, so probably I would not qualify for AFMOTY. However, I believe that restoring and old diecast is way harder than building a brand new plastic model kit, like a Tamiya one, where every single piece is present and fits perfectly in its place. To restore a diecast model, you have to carefully figure out how to disassemble it without breaking anything, strip all the paint, fill all the imperfections with putty (I use cyanoacrylate glue an baking soda, no shrinking, no detaching from metal), rebuild pieces (I use sheets of polystyrene taken from CD-ROM cases, glued with trichlorethylene), polish transparent parts, straighten wheel axles and so on. Next year I will begin some of my 29 plastic model kits, and hopefully I will enter AFMOTY.

Here there are all the 29 plastic model kits I have still to build:
