Colin W Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Good build session now coming to an end. Some great models in the gallery resulting from this. I'm signing up for the 90s Group build but don't anyone forget the Tornado Group build in September next year. Lots of 90s opportunities to be done.

helios16v Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Still got 11 hours left if my math is right for the last minute pushes. 😉 And yeah, I might be one of the ones included in that group. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Well, my four are in the gallery - as usual, right at the end of the GB. This has been an excellent GB, but is also the end of an era. We have had a epic range of connected GBs over the past four years. Many thanks to Col. for hosting this one and in fact all of the NATO v WarPac GBs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Well gang that was great fun Thank you one and all for making this GB so enjoyable. The range of subjects was, once again, as impressive as the chat was entertaining. I've re-opened the gallery temporarily as I know some of you didn't get a chance to submit your photos of finished models and once that's done we'll get the poll sorted and on with the voting 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thanks for organising and running the GB Col, it was as good as all the other NATO/Warpac ones have been and I'm already looking forward to the 90's edition. And in a shameless plug lets not forget that there is a 1980's Asian version starting very soon . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Like others have already said, an enjoyable GB with a lot of nice and varied models finished and shown in the gallery and a fair bit of light hearted banter along the way Roll on the next one Thanks to @Col. for organising this GB and keeping us all in line over the last few months 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hard to vote. So many unique, clean builds. Well done to all that took part. And looking through the votes which are currently scattered all over the board, I'm not the only one that was having trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Remember gang, you are voting for a single subject over all three sections rather than one from each section 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I didn't have a dog in the fight I'm able to be impartial and vote for the build I like best. I thought this was permissible under BM rules? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed permissible Wez and I'm glad you followed the GB and also voted. The issue here is some have cast multiple votes rather than picking one subject 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, a bit late now, sorry! apart, thanks for the fantastic host work during this GB! I really really enjoyed it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things will level out soon and let me back to the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
