Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Just a quick warning for everyone. Most GBs end on a Sunday evening. Be aware that this one ends on Saturday 31 October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 And the maddening thing is that he's right. We're on our own. We've been playing for time. And it's running out! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) oh dear, after foolishly following xtradecals instructions on the first spit, I this time without releasing did not follow them, before trashing what may have been correct afterall, before I varnish the replacement perhaps worth an ask. On spitfire X4382 were was the starboard fuselage roundel placed? edited for clarity Edited October 26, 2015 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Pedro Hanbury's Spitfire? Only photo I know of is this: Looks to me like the world's your oyster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 maybe I wasn;t clear I referring to the starboard roundel, varfied the port side from that pic (which does suggest xtradecal got the fonts off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) nah should have been unambiguous, looks like I'm, going to have to guess and do it how I originally had it (which I've found a nice artwork done the same) or how xtradecal suggest Edited October 26, 2015 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Just posted my Defiant and Blenheim in the gallery - that's me done Thanks very much to Procopius, Enzo Matrix, PaulR and Stew for setting up and running this - my first GB and, obviously, not my last. What a ride!!! Off for a rest now and a re-arrangement of my workspace - I need more room on the bench - too many tools!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None till now... Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks Jaime - the secret is to bash them together OOB and not try to match the quality shown by 'proper modellers' like yourself! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks Jaime - the secret is to bash them together OOB That's all I ever do Ced, and still no joy. I might need to propose a 2 year GB for any subject, but you can't finish early. Any takers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Maybe move to a location where it is winter year round? That is my problem, when summer hits, very difficult to devote time at the bench. So now trying to play catch up, while only batting .500 with two completed out of four. Still have one more I've signed up for, but yet to start. It would be nice to have a whole year, but I believe the explanation given is that people would get bored or run out of steam if a GB lasted that long? Mind you, if that does befall the modeller, they could potentially rejuvenate their interest if there was still enough time left in the calendar year. regards, Jack Edited October 29, 2015 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
