LEGO911 - 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW
2022 was another pretty big year - not as big as it could have been. Like many people COVID knocked me about far more than I expected.
I did have a celebratory plan though - mid-year, in the midst of it, I had pre-preemptively come up with a plan to model Toyota Coronas until I died or recovered. I didn't die, but there are a lot of Coronas there. Next time it will be coupe versions (if you are interested).
This year was also a lot about lego Bronco. I finally got the instruction plans completed toward the end of 2021. Some quirky CAD related issue meant that the files would continually crash my laptop, so that led to one of the high points - a new machine (though I still had my work cut out for me resolving the crashing issue). It also led me to adopt Stud.io for rendering, along with a big step up in speed, and (hopefully) image quality.
This years other build were often informed by the Instagram group - @mocaroundgang - they have just released a calendar of build themes for 2023 if you are interested in joining the community. Great to be able to build to themes again, and thanks to the admins of that group for organising them. The mocaroundgang challenges led to an unusually large number of racing cars this year, IMSA, and 1980s touring cars. I finally modelled my hero Peter Brock's 05 1984 VK Commodore Group-C (a very long time on my 'to do' list)
Hopefully 2023 will not result in a return of COVID - this might nonetheless be inevitable.
