AndyC Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Sadly work is manic at the moment so the Panzer IV will NOT be ready by the date. It will appear in RFI at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 This has been a fantastic GB so far. I'm very sad to say, my projects won't be ready in time due to work/family and magazine commitments but seeing all these builds has been fantastic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm building mine much faster than I thought possible and may, for the second time, finish before the end. Some fantastic results up already and many more in the final furlong. I've had a blast doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Great group build, got the VIIC done, sad to say i didnt get round to doing the soviet submarine, partly due to the fact i didnt have one in the stash which i thought i had! All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'll add my voice to the 'won't get there in time' brigade. Haven't touched it for 8 weeks, won't get to it again for ages. Nothing new for me though. :/ Best of British to the rest of you who are battling onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm very frustrated and sad to say I have to put up the white flag . For nearly 2 months now I have been mainly bedbound due to bleeding into my lower spine. I have blood clotting issues. My body won't play ball, now I have issues with an enlarged spleen. So, after trying another sit at the bench tonight, I've decided to call it a day and finish my three LaGGs when I'm better and I'll enjoy it. I have a couple of sets of photographs and updates to put on the WIP, I hope to do that as I have the old iPhone here in bed, it's proving extremely useful. Thanks to the mods for all their work and encouragement, for all those that follow our crazy threads and good luck to those still forging ahead . I'll try to link to a placeholder standard WIP before the GB thread is locked. Its been a truly great GB with just a fantastic standard and variety of models being built. All best regards Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi Tony, Terribly sorry to know you're still suffering from your health issues. I wish you a quick and full recovery. Looking forward to your return to the bench and future build updates! Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Tony... your health should always take priority over modelling. Just come back to your builds when you are able. The GB threads are not locked. Only the gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks Enzo Its good to hear the threads aren't locked, I don't know where I got the idea from. I miss actually doing something myself, I'm very much looking forward to getting back to it. Thanks for all you do here at BM, the group builds are just superb events.

John Thompson Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hey Tony - I hope you're feeling better soon! To the mods or whoever is in charge here, thanks for extending the deadline to 1 October! I'm still working on my Yak-1b, but very slowly due to grandparental responsibilities. My daughter is away during the day and early evening learning to become a welder, so Grandpa has extra chores! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The deadline extension is a great relief to me too.....I'm helping my nephew with a painting project for school and the deadline on that has been brought forward by a month! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Tony, I hope you get better soon. And thanks to the mods for the deadline extension. I was wondering if I'd mis-read it the first time around... Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Every extra day added to the deadline helps. So what time of the day is the actual cutoff, 12.00 or 24.00? regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
