PhantomBigStu Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Looks like my JP won’t make it thanks to Hornbys lack of distribution, even if they’ve finally come through this week, tall order to decal and fully varnish over a Friday-Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This has been a brilliant GB and many thanks to @Rob G & @Col. for hosting. I managed to get my Hawker Henley into the gallery "last minute.com" Congratulations to everyone who finished their builds and if you didn't, like me and my Hotspur glider, please don't be tempted to put it on the shelf of shame. Finish it off. If it's a kit with Frog heritage it's very welcome across at the Frog Squad GB. I know the host quite well ! Cheers Pat 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Likewise, a great GB. Thanks to the hosts for making it happen. Got to say that I am very pleased to have added 2 copies of the new Airfix Jet Provost 3 to my model collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 AAAAND th' th 'th 'that's all folks! To (mis)quote Max Bygraves, we have come to the end of our lollipop. It's been a grand adventure, and I'm glad that so many of you managed to finish your entries. Well done to all of you. Don't forget to vote for you favourite when the poll goes up. Thank you again, good night, and may your deity of choice bless you in a manner that pleases. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Didn't make it, though I came rather far in a short time (for me at last), just everything ready for painting, but then it stalled, due to wishlistst of SWMBO and to hot for spraying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Do you hear there! Do you hear there! The poll is up, I repeat, the poll is up. Go now and vote for your favourite build - you have but a week until it closes. Good luck with making a choice, I haven't been able to decide as there's so many quality builds. Once again (and for the last time) THANK YOU ALL for being part of this GB. We managed 49 completed builds, with a few more in the wings (heh) that would've made it but for supply or paint/decal issues. Stout effort all. And as a special treat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Ahem... due to absolute pillockery, I managed to make a complete ⚽🏉🎱up of the poll, so have redone it. Hopefully I now have it right (but I have my doubts). Anyone who has already voted, please do so again. Anyone who has yet to vote, please do so. Thank you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 A quick reminder that the poll for the Trainers GB closes on a couple of days. If you haven't voted, be a good chap and pop in, please. If you haven't even SEEN the entries there, shame on you - there's some quite spectacular work on display, so have a look, then pick a favourite. Thenk yoo wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Last call for Gallery votes for this GB guys. You've got until midnight GMT today to have your say, which (if I've counted on my fingers all proper like), gives you 12 hours to make a selection. Have at it lads!

Rob G Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 And finally... The votes are in, the poll has closed, and we have a winner. And a couple of runners-up. And a whole lot of excellent quality modelling. And a lot of ands in this paragraph (and I wonder if anyone will actually read this and make a sad face?) Without further ado, here's the results: In 1st place, with 6 votes, we have Nimrod54 and a shiny Swiss Pilatus PC-21.

You may also, if you so desire, try using your new found fame to get a free beer at the pub, or to get out of your next speeding fine- you never know, it may just work... (doubtful). Seriously, thank you and well done to all who participated. It was a great GB and everyone has done wonders with their entries, which in some cases were old, manky kits of less than stellar quality. Thank you all for just getting on with it despite my absences, and for not causing me any heartache - everyone got into the spirit of the thing and no-one asked difficult questions. That's all from me, I now highly recommend that you go and sign up for the Cats and Dogs GB that's currently being floated somewhere near here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235056606-cats-and-dogs/ It'll be fun! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a real surprise, even more so when I look at the quality of other gallery entries, with @zebra' s A-4N Skyhawk and @AdrianMF's Miles Master being equally deserving of topping the poll. Thanks to those who took the time to comment on both my builds, and for the encouragement along the way, and especially to those that kindly voted for the Pilatus. And a final thankyou to @Rob G for proposing this @Enzo Matrix for setting it up, and last but not least to you fellow Britmodellers for making this hobby a lot of fun. Cheers 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Thanks @Rob G and @nimrod54 And many thanks to the hosts for an excellent GB. Just sorry I didn't get to those Jetstreams - if I hadn't had builds in so many GBs I'd have kept going in this one. cheers Julian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
