D1fuN0 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well.... We have two finished builds on the Gallery and the rest seem to be coming along nicely... What about the rest of you??? Dropped off?, lost interest?, too busy living the life of a rockstar??? Theres only 3 months and a couple days left... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 In the middle of a busy patch at work atm. 12 hour days plus overtime isn't leaving a lot of time for anything really. I have been doing the odd half hour here and there but nothing really to shout about. More just getting parts cleaned up and building sub assemblies. Hope to really get my teeth into things after the 16th when I finally get some free time. Got to get on as the Splendid cats build is coming up too.

D1fuN0 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ditto Mark, Ive been transfered over to one of our new sites, a shopping mall, and its as hectic as poo here, but luckily im only 5k's away from home now, instead of 375... Dont get much time other than the weekends now, and with 2 builds on this GB, the Splendid Cats GB coming up this weekend AND a possible GB on our local modelling site, its all go at the mo...

snapper_city Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 At least I can virtual model on here while at work but it's no substitute when you have a build crying out for some love at home. Since I recently got myself my first PE tool things have been made a lot easier on that front. Been building up parts and bagging them up so when it's time to build things should just fall together. Still awaiting some Mike Grant instrument decals to arrive also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cheers Steve To be honest after reading Mike's review I'm really surprised no one else has joined in with one yet, can't wait to get my hands on it! I'm building the Zvezda boxing in the GB!! I was going to upload my build thread this very morning but my PC decided to format my SD card from the camera so no pics!! Ill have to take new ones. Keep an eye out for the update as there's a few areas to watch out for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm loathe to stop building the MiG I'm working on when it's going so well. Once I've shelved a kit I've got a horrible habit of not coming back to it (As my F-15C, F-4, Sea King, Prince of Wales and E/A-18G gently weep). As soon as I've done the -29 I'll be jumping on my Ka-50 and/or the Mi-24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Just over a 1/3rd of the way (time wise) through the GB... I better get more building done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Not that I'm planning it for this GB, but does anyone know if the ancient Airfix (or recent Revell) Sea Kings can be built as an Apollo-era SH-3D? (with some modifications obviously). Or is it better to find the Fujimi kit? Thanks in advance, Dermot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hello... Im back in my modelling room.....

heloman1 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good to hear some of you can manage two builds for this GB, sadly I'm falling behind with my Wessex. Not through want of trying, it's other things getting inthe way! Last week I lst the forward portion of ther tailfold, only to find it again once I had robber one from the second kit I had. Wessex HAS3 arriving this coming week, so progress might be slowed again. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi Guys.... Firstly, my apologies for my conspicuous abscence. Not without wanting to get it done, but I doubt that I will get to finish my H34. With ending a contract on one site and now starting a new one up again and life, strikes etc getting in the way, i just dont think im going to get finished. Not actually getting much time to sit down at the desk and do some work... Really sorry chaps... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sorry to hear that Steve, I think had you not had the misshap with the BK, you might well have been able to complete one of them. No reason not to complete it and show it off in the Ready For Inspection pages. Good luck with the new site job. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) It is with great regret that I won't have time to finish my entry to the GB before the 8th. Life has gotten in the way too much over the summer and I will post in the ready for inspection once she is completed. I would like to thank the hosts, everyone who has participated and everyone who has followed the build. I have really enjoyed this GB and will hopefully be more successful in future GB's.

bootneck Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think I am going to be the same, although I won't give up before the deadline. Still got the canopies to paint and attach on two Wessex and decaling of the Belvedere. I'm am hoping to finish the Belvedere by the deadline though; I just don't have the time to take and process images to show during the build anymore. Should have them for the Gallery though afterwards. Apologies to all Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 OK guys. it's 8pm on Friday evening, i've picked up a few problems, so I don't see anyway I can do justice to my entry before the deadline tomorrow evening. So I'm going to say enough is enough and bale. My apologies to all the GB entrants and good luck to the remaining builds. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 With at least two very nice builds so close to being finished, could a week extension be of help? And be ok with the rules? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Some nice builds entered, pity no everyone could finish, but it's the taking part that counts! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Completed my last 3 Wessex with 10 minutes to spare! There are a few minor requirements to be finalised but I'm happy just to get them done I'll start taking photos and writing up the relevant threads now cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well done every one are we going to have a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The gallery looks ripe for a poll, there's some great stuff in there. Congrats to the finishers! (I may not have finished, though that's probably the most modelling I've done in the least time, but I shall get mine done shortly, thanks for the encouragement and comments!)
