Father Chris Voldemort?

That's a coincidence - that's my favourite part of the coast. I walked from New Quay down to Porthclais earlier this year; I've also done a bit of fishing between there and St Justinians.

Hey Mal, welcome to BM. Whereabouts in Pembrokeshire are you? It's one of my favourite parts of Wales.

Superb - nice to have some heavy metal in the GB! -

Confirmed, sir! Good to have you and your Spiteful on board. -
Watch out for those pesky nacelles!

I had a bit of a word with myself last night; I'm coming towards the end of two of the three builds I currently have on my bench and was planning on starting two more as soon as they're finished. One of the new ones was going to be an Me262, but common sense has prevailed and I decided that rather than start two more non-GB builds, wait a few weeks and then start one for this GB, I''ll just postpone starting the Me262 until January, when it can be my (first?) entry to the Twins GB. That way I can get the decks cleared (at least to a halfway sensible level) and be ready and enthusiastic for the GB with a kit I'm looking forward to building. Should I somehow finish my two current builds and then get some serious progress done with the next non-GB build, a Meteor F8, I can always build a quick Hurricane or two before starting the Me262 on January 6th. And seeing as how we have until the 16th of May, I might actually get the Me262 done and have a chance at getting an Allied aircraft in as well. The question is, which one?.... Cheers, JRK

Isn't this getting a bit complicated? Why not just have a "proposal window" that opens after the Bunfight and closes when the next Bunfight vote opens? If a build that you've proposed at any point during the window hits thirty signatures, you're in, if you haven't, then you're out and there's no bye.

Pointy stick acquired; I've hammered a few (Nine Inch) nails into it for added respectability. -
Top jobs done by @Enzo the Magnificent and @trickyrich in keeping us all in line and entertained throughout the process, and also everyone who was daft enough to propose and volunteer to host a GB. Now, is it a good time to suggest the Civilian Tuk Tuk GB for '25?

Are we there yet?

I'm sad enough to still be here.

Surely if too many tie then we need to do a sudden death round....

People are saying it's the biggliest corruptest Socialist poll ever, and that I won it but the Deep Forum took it from me. To disagree is un-Britmodellarian.

Have faith, young one. -
Right, time to get the poniard out and poke holes in backs.

Rather more time has passed since I posted than I would have liked, but I have actually made some reasonable progress recently. I've attached all of the undercarriage parts and the exhausts, and I'm happy with those. The pitot is still off, as I keep breaking it with such monotonous regularity that I won't touch it again until every last other tiny detail is done. Tonight I managed to get the matt coat on, although I used some old Alclad 2 and it's not hugely matt, which normally would be something I aim for. However, I'm not too bothered as it looks pretty decent form here: Next is panel-lining and weathering, before fitting the cheesecutter wires and pitot; we're on the home straight now. Cheers, JRK -
Here's a funny story; I sat up last night waiting to see the final results. James @81-er gently pointed out that the poll actually closes on Tuesday night. I went to bed chastened.
