T92 HMC x 1 

T39 AEV x 1 

M47 x 2

M48a3 x 2

Hello everybody on behalf of Myself and the two co-hosts, @PlaStix and @Plasto i want to say Thank you very much for making this build a success. This was my first time hosting a build, its not my last as i have a fair number coming up in the next 18 months. We had a total of 37 members sign-up to enter the build. With a total of 20 builds entered thats roughly 2/3rds. Out of those 20 We have currently 9 builds in the gallery with one or two not in but finished. So thats a 50% completion of builds entered. In my book 50% is a success. Once the poll is open i will let everyone know to allow the voting to begin.

Well done to stix, and all who've taken part in the gb,  and to dennis for hosting

👍

As others have said a great GB. I've got some more information for my build courtesy of a very nice Lady at TACOM so will resume work once I've developed a system for making engine louvres.

 

Great subject, well run, very informative and very good results, In my mind we are all winners to some degree or other. I'll be much better prepared for the Panther GB

Well done to everyone who got a finished build into the Gallery - I reckon, despite there being only 10 builds in the Gallery, that this was one of the best set of models I have seen in a GB Gallery. They all look superb. There was also some fantastic work going on that unfortunately didn't get finished in time. If your's is one of the latter - please keep going and keep posting so we can follow your updates. Well done to Dennis @Corsairfoxfouruncle for suggesting and hosting this STGB - I probably wouldn't have got around to building my T26E4 for quite a while yet and I thoroughly enjoyed making it. Finally thank you to those modellers who took the time to vote and to those who voted for mine.

Kind regards,

Stix
