Matchbox GB II - Build List ** now with interactive LINKS **


Rabbit Leader

Recommended Posts

 

Apologies - I must have missed at least four in the gallery on the way.

By my reckonig the latest tally is correct (?).  

 

Build Tally (as at 20 Jan)    Total Builds = 122 / Total Subjects = 87 / Gallery Entries = 60 / * = 3 Stalled builds :(

 

So that makes it 122 - 3 (confirmed stalled builds) = 118 / 60 (Galley entries) = 50.8% completed builds. 

I suspect a few won't make the 10th of Feb deadline, however lets see how many we can get home before then, just 21 days to go chaps! 

Cheers.. Dave

I forgive you; its hard to keep track

but hush your face man - I do not  want to know there's only 21 days left

Perhaps Enzo can be asked for a two week extension?

The Seaplanes GB got an extension

Two weeks can make a big difference to the finish rate

Apologies for the delay but put me down for He-115 (Red Range).  I will post completed pixs in next day or so...

 

Greg in OK

All good Greg, your He-115 now appears in the MB GB Built list.

How'd you end up going with the Wellesley that you started a build thread for?

 

Cheers.. Dave

......  now to sort out my overstuffed workroom, 900+ stash and crack open some Shiraz to celebrate

 

Now is that a 900+ stash of Shiraz or 900+ stash of model kits there Anil? 

I'm sure you could invite us round for a evening to polish off some of your good old red stuff.. and I don't mean new Airfix boxes either! 

 

Cheers... Dave

In a moment of shear madness, I have now linked each Matchbox GB II Gallery entry (members name in RED) to it's build thread - see 1st post.

You can thank my 16 year old son for that when he quizzed me about this build list, then suggested that it would be a good idea to link them all??

I experimented with my two builds, then agreed that this would be a good idea for all / well most - I had to cut it off somewhere.

 

Anyway - for what it's worth its all done and I'll update as and when required. 

I also found a few 'missed' gallery entries so now this figure stands at 75 (will we get to 90, 100 perhaps?).  

Great effort everyone. :worthy:

 

Cheers.. Dave

Ditto, outstanding work by Dave (aka Rabbit Leader) on running the list and stats - I think every GB should have one!. Many thanks and well done Dave. This list will remain as a very useful reference for revisiting all the exemplary work done by the BM modellers during this GB - I'm starting to read it all from the beginning...

Oh no.. what have I started?? 

I'm sure the regular GB hosts and co-hosts might have something to say about that! 

To be honest, I'd probably be happy to compile this type of list in all the GB's I participate in, however I've ticked off a few for this year so I might live to regret that statement. 

... Now as I type this, the nice Postman has just delivered me a very nice 1/72 Hobby Boss Hawker Sea Hawk - now I need a new tool kit and the Hawkers GB is currently under way??? 

 

Cheers and once again - thanks for the many gratifying comments, it was such a pleasure to take part.

Dave.
