Looking back on 2014

It seems, the older I get, the faster the years fly by. Looking back, this year passed in just a moment. This was a year with quite some ups and downs. It’s not like anything really serious has happened, so rest assured. I had various plans, but couldn’t accomplish everything. At some points I was just totally busy with other stuff like work or being a voluntary firefighter. At other periods my other hobby (videogames) took a lot of time.

Accomplishments:

• I bought and built quite a lot sets this year. Among these, many of the major Technic sets and some bigger System sets.
• I built Sheepo’s Mustang.
• I built Crowkillers Phantasm Twin Turbo.
• Built some other smaller MOCs, like the Tumbler above made by ZBLJ.
• Got several bulk supplies in smaller parts for some ideas I have.

Not accomplished:

• Clear my to-build box.
• Finish my C-model for 42009.
• Post-process the video footage I recorded.
• Find a good video processing software and learn how to use it.
• Write reviews for the sets and MOCs I built.
• Expand my building and storage space for better lighting and perhaps some backdrops.

Plans for next year:

• Complete at least some of the reviews and videos.
• Clearing the to-build box.
• Start the long planned system MOC.
• Build some MOCs from other people. The first one will be the 42009 C-model by MrTekneex.
• Probably accomplish my own idea for a 42009 C-model with the above as base.
• Expand my building and storage space for better lighting and perhaps some backdrops.

I wanted to go into a little more detail, but I guess that is not very interesting. So I leave it at that. All in all, it was still a good year. I got some great sets which really suprised me or where just very good value. But also I am a little disappointed about the things I did not accomplish.

Now, a new year is coming. I wish you, my readers and followers, all the best for the next year, a lot of new sets and bricks and of course lots of time for your favorite hobby. I sure have some plans and hope to pull through this year.

Until then, have a good time, a happy new year and a big THANK YOU for reading my blog and following me on Facebook.
