Plenty of time so may grap a 2nd copy. The Heller Mirage IV has some very long seams to contend with and I'd second gluing some strips inside one half to give the seam a bit lore structure to get to grips with.

Antoine Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hi guys, I just wanted to say that unfortunately, I'll not be able to participate, as my move to a new home has just been postponed, to mid-october at best. Cheers to all the Mirage builders, see you on the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The only good thing is that I'll not have to mowe the lawn that often in october/november. If you cross the pond again next summer, I'll give you the address, wine and beer are quite tasty in the surrounding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirly Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello, last evening I gave a look to my Heller Mirage 5BA thinking about a quick build but was somewhat disillusioned by the main u/c legs: they are really very very thin, to the point of doubting they will bear the finished model. Anyone have some experience of how much they will resist or can suggest replacements? TIA Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirly Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thank you Jabba for your feedback! So I will keep the kit legs with just a bit of detailing added. I have to finish another model in a few days for a club display, after that I will open a new thread for my entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Sorry to go AWOL- just too busy with "life" at the moment, though in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Righto then the GB finishes tomorrow so there's still time for a final push to get some over the line, sadly I won't be one of them, life and studying have put the kybosh on any modelling time, I will be updating my threads with my progress but I think the best I can hope for is a bit more modelling over Christmas and thus the KUTA GB. Good luck to the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Ranger Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Due to the deaths of both my mother and my wife's mother in September (two weeks apart!) I will not be able to complete my contribution. Settling both estates has become a full-time matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 unfortunately I won't make it for this one either, another in a run of DNF's for this year. had quite a few things going on outside modelling which distracted me. I will though finish her so updates will occur but probably not as often. Thanks Wez for running the GB, it certainly was a popular one, well done.

Disappointingly, only seven votes have been cast so far, the poll closes in one week so even if you didn't finish or indeed participate in the GB, you're still invited to vote. A lot of effort has gone into these models, please show your appreciation by voting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Regrettably, lack of time prevented me from entering the GB. Great models in the gallery.
