The end of the year is always a time for looking back. For me personally, 2022 was a much better year than 2021. My role at work has changed for the better; I've spent a much larger part of my time doing interesting things and had a few great opportunities. A downside is that I've also been really busy and away from home a lot. I tallied them and found that I've spent close to 50 nights in various hotels, on work travel.
As a result, in terms of LEGO building I've had a very slow year, building a lot less than last year. In fact, I've been making these overviews since 2010 and there hasn't been a single year in which I built as few new models as in 2022. Furthermore, a fair few of the models are quite small.
That said, though, I think I built a few of my best models to date, such as the YF-22, and some really interesting ones, like my DPRK missile train.
After the worst years of the pandemic, I have attended a few LEGO events: Brick Feile in Ireland and The Great Western Brick Show, in the UK. I intend to attend a few in 2023 as well, including Modelshow Europe in the Netherlands, BrickFair Virigina and The Great Western Brick Show.
I am making plans for new builds for 2023. There'll definitely be more minifig scale models, I'm looking at rebuilding some of my 1/36 scale aircraft, and there will probably be a couple of 1/22 scale car models at some point, but I'll have to see how much time I have. If my current plans for January and February are anything to go by, work travel won't abate much in 2023.

Sometimes you don't need much to let a photo speak, dark brown tones that set the mood in the photo set the mood and bright colors to make the model stand out.
The chair also helps more to get a nice natural powerful pose to complete the picture.
