Again." thanks for leaving a "1" there in front of the "7"... might save my build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richellis Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I’ve had a look in the gallery, some smashing builds, spot the odd one out! will there be a second GB? Have a second truck build I could do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Not sure if there will be a second similar GB, I hope so as has given a chance to many modellers to build their favourite British subjects in different and often unusual markings. Will have to be in 2020 though, not sure we can get enough interest in time for this year's poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 My Spits are a lot more advanced than the latest pics in the build thread would suggest but they won't be finished. Had fun though, and loved being part of things - the finished builds are the inspiration that will see mine over the line, although in RFI rather than here. Bravo to all the finishers, and a big thanks to the hosts. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have a very bad track records with group builds, know the feeling of not completing the model in time or having to abandon it for some reason...

Giorgio N Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well, time is over and this GB ended last night. Time for a few words.... First of all I'd like to thanks all the modellers that took part in the GB, without you there would have been no GB ! Thanks to all the modellers that managed to complete their model in time, the gallery looks great ! Thanks to all the modellers that couldn't finish their model in time, I know how hard it is to work to a deadline in what is afterall a hobby. I hope that you will complete your models and if you can please post some pictures in the general forum "Ready for Inspection" section. I would also like to thank Wez, who helped me as co-host. These last few months have been very busy for me, without a co-host things I would have probably lost track of the GB. Of course many thanks go to Enzo Matrix for his role as global GB moderator, without him really the GBs would be impossible. His decision of granting another couple of weeks also helped several modellers to complete their entries (me included). I am very proud of the models built for this GB and I feel that we have achieved the goal of showing the successes of British export. Yesterday I counted subjects of 19 different nationalities, I may have missed a couple that came later. Not bad I'd say ! Some were expected (I would have bet on one or two Australian subjects), others were very unusual and unexpected. I'm also very glad to have seen a variety of subjects, with even a truck, a couple of airliners and a few military vehicles together with the more usual combat aircraft. Sure not all made it to the gallery, but at least a couple did. I hope that all modellers enjoyed the GB as much as I enjoyed hosting this. I apologise if I missed any issue, hopefully not. I'm not sure if there will ever be another similar GB, if so count me in ! I may even be willing to co-host or even host, who knows... 😁 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks Giorgio for thinking of this GB in the first place, it's been great to see the range of subjects modelled and I'm pleased to have been able to play a small part in this GB even if I had to abandon my entry.
