Robert Stuart Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A great thank-you to Pat and Jaime for this group build - the only one this year where I did complete a build. There are some wonderful builds here, not all completed. Have a great Christmas and, no matter how good 2019 was, may 2020 be better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Superb effort by all involved apologies to Pat and Jaime for a total fail to bring anything to completion for this GB but a seven day work schedule this week meant the loss of the chance to at least complete the Walrus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve Absolutely no need to apologise im guilty of the same thing myself in the GB. You have overachieved in other GBs this year and continually supported and encouraged others on this GB.

Johnson Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Er... Not having done a Gallery Poll before, how does it work? Has it started yet? Finished? Help needed! (Apologies if I'm being dense!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Apologies if I'm being dense!) Hi Johnson, Not to worry. I'll set it up tonight. It'll be visible as a list on the top area of the gallery page. To vote you'll simply have to tick the entries you like most. The poll will run till 5 January 23:59 GMT, each voter will be allowed to vote for the three best entries. I'll let everyone know, as soon as the poll is open. Cheers Jaime 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Dear All, The poll is now open. Taking the Festive Season into account, it'll run till 5 January 2020 at 23:59 GMT. Considering the high standard of the finished builds, the hosts decided that the voters should be allowed to choose the three best from the 33 finished builds. So, please vote for the three best entries in the gallery. The voting options span two pages. If all your three votes are in the same page, please choose "None of the above" in the other page in order to be able to save your votes. Unfortunately there are no prizes. Despite that, the praise from our fellow modellers is always a great incentive! Best of luck to all the candidates! Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks Jaime and Pat. It’s been a fascinating group build with a really interesting variety of subjects and a really nice community.

Regards, Adrian Thanks for the appreciation, Adrian! Don't be to hard on yourself: you entered the GB with a very ambitious project and it is progressing steadily and impressively! I'm sure you'll finish it in due time. Never rush a build because of a GB deadline! By the way: I also haven't finished my entry and it is a much simpler build than yours.

DMC Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks Pat and Jaime, the GB has been a pleasant experience without which I probably wouldn’t have finished yet another build. Not that there was any pressure, just easy going modelling. Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Well done Jaime and Pat for a great Group Build - real variety of subjects and themes, from sticks & strings to jets. Sorry I didn't get mine done in time. Have a happy Christmas and all the best for 2020. Dermot 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
