alt-92 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 That extra 2 weeks in total is a godsend. I've been completely swamped @ work lately, and only the last few days have been able to get back on the two builds. Expect the P-39 to get it's updates, and the Harvard is also well underway again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We are entering our final week, with lots of builds still in progress with a gallery just waiting for you to finish. Thanks to Steve aka @fightersweep I am still to finish a build myself so am in the same boat. Expect lots of encouragement from your host and co-hosts over the coming weeks @JeroenS is expecting a high % of completions so please let's not disappoint him. Talking of which I'd better get back to my own build ! Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 A week or better yet 8 days, is a long time so let's all put it to good use 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 One week! Gulp. I'm pretty sure of getting the Arc and Constellation done in time, they are not too far off completion as they sit this morning. There's a few others that may or may not make the finish line, I'm pushing my luck a bit with is lot... The Hawk is nearly done. A bit of side glazing to make and yet another replacement gun barrel needed and it's finished. The others are all at various stages of completion, some nearer than others. I've added a base for each build, just to give me a bit of a boost as these models have been neglected for quite a while now. I've not had time to update the build threads for them. A couple have not even had threads started! Pictures have been taken though, It's all a matter of sitting down and catching up as required. I'll try to squeeze in a bit of posting time today, it will be nice to catch up. I'll do what I can this week build wise, if I'm lucky I'll be adding a few of this lot to the Gallery. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 As Pat says, we've got just over one shiny week and that's it for this GB! I'm including myself in this, I need to get at least one kit finished for this GB, I'm sure many others will likewise feel the impending deadline daunting but we can all work miracles in that time if we set our minds to it. I know real life gets in the way, I've spent most of the day fixing a broken fence, I'm frozen to the core but as soon as these fingers warm up I'm going to the bench. Good luck everybody! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to excuse me while I depart on a guilt trip! 🤣 Does that mean that if your build thread slows for any reason, that you have to go all bad cop on yourself? I'm in the same boat though. Still trying to finish the He 112 and Hellcat, and the Corsair is now starting to make me sweat a bit! I've barely done anything yet. I see the GB has 10,000 posts now. Is that a record for a GB?

I'm practicing giving myself the hairdryer treatment in front of the mirror ready for midweek if the Bü 133 still isn't finished !

That kit is ex-Heller according to the font of kits knowledge, Scalemates. If I do a bit of a 'blitz' on it over the coming weekend I may get it done before the deadline Also, tomorrow I can get to my number 2 stash shed. In it is a rather rare Heller kit. I may be tempted to build it as well. sorry, I never got doing as last Wednesday, 3rd, I got an order for a load of leather goods which had to be done and delivered yesterday. They took up all my time. I only got back home this evening from delivering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
