That's looking great. Cold enough here to snow, sadly not yet. We had a few flakes yesterday, not enough even for a light dusting, but enough to send the kids in the school where I work absolutely bananas!

You've produced that in less than a fortnight?!?!? It's magnificent!

What a nomadic life you seem to have led, @Giorgio N!

This is 1/72 I guess? I had an ancient boxing of the Airfix kit at one time (the one with the green/white scheme). I remember it looking quire rivetty and basic.

Great choice! Good day for the helicopters today!

Happy birthday to me (…from me )

Beautiful job. I was thinking of doing Airfix's XIV with the "Lazy Linda" kit scheme but this might be the one to go with.

This is looking great. Looking forward to the end result.

That is exactly the array of long thin things I have, @Bertie McBoatface, albeit not quite as neatly stored. So far I have found 317 different modelling uses for a cocktail stick.

Where is a mite in relation to a tad and a smidgen? This is looking great, some proper modelling going on.

Not just me then. Since I switched to 1/48 I get loads.

Day 11 round-up... It's been a good day for the gallery: @theplasticsurgeon banks a splendid-looking Spitfire Mk XVII, and immediately sets about a second build in the form of a Spitfire floatplane - bosh! That's what I'm talking about! And @Touvdal gives us out first completed ship, in the shapely shape of his Japanese light cruiser Agano. New builds? Aside from the aforementioned flying floating thing, we are joined by @Giorgio N with an Italian Navy Harrier - benvenuto Giorgio! - and even as I was updating the Build List up popped @2996 Victor with yet another build! And a most interesting subject it is too, an Airabonita (new one to me!), but with now no less than seven builds on the list I feel we may need to stage an intervention. Today's numbers: 126 builds 92 underway 3 finished Hope you're enjoying your modelling as much as I'm enjoying looking at it. Cheers all Tony PS late addendum: @PeterB has just thrown a Vought F7U-3M into the the ring, but I'll add it to the BL tomorrow. Don't you people sleep?!

Yes, Mark. Yes, you are.

Happy birthday to me - I got this Tamiya LRDG Chevy truck to go with my SAS Jeep, the pair will be my first attempt at a diorama come August.

Super job, looking splendid. I know what you mean about that PE part on the air bottles. My Overtrees set lacks it and I think fuse wire may be the way to go.

Day 10 round-up... Could it be that after the initial frenzy of activity the SSDGB could be settling into a more, er, "manageable" pace? Just one new build today which is co-host @Bertie McBoatface's remarkable little Шлюпка 75mm с веслами (yes, that!), well actually two if you count @Davek72's additional B5N2, because now he's building two of 'em! Quite a few more turning green today though as people set about their builds in earnest. What are the scores on the doors, Isla? (Ask your dad...) 123 builds, of which 91 underway It'll be interesting to see how this goes... period of calm waters as we all quietly set about our builds, waves of finished builds joining the gallery, stormy seas as Sea Dogs (with the appropriate level of, er, encouragement from your hosts) pitch in with second, third, fourth builds? Or will this GB hit the doldrums halfway between now and the end April, as modellers answer the siren call of other GB's? We shall see! Wishing you continued happy modelling shipmates. Cheers Tony

That's enough to turn it green! Enjoy!

Good to see the bigger Bearcat off the start line. That is indeed a swanky dashboard!

That's a beast. Good to see it underway!

That wasn't actually a condition, I thought if I was sending you the decals you may as well have the plastic Anyway happy to hear it's arrived and looking forward to seeing your brace o' Kates! Cheers Tony

Well, this covers a lot of bases… …or does it need to be more specific?

That's some next-level modelling. There should be a "wow" option in the little emoticons for work like this.

Looking rather joli, that.

That’s a beauty. Great work.
