modelling minion Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 An extension would be very welcome at this end, still won't get the diorama done but the airframe should be completed, hopefully. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's extend by a week and finish on 19 February. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickhenfrey Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I've got the coming weekend cleared, and reckon I'll finish, but nothing against an extension 🙂 Might get a bit of extra weathering done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I agree if it allows more builds to be completed without heartache 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 We had an He 111 STGB in 2020, but the medium size 'Einkle was also an Axis&Co Twin. Of course, if @Arniec would now be alerted to start a thread for He 111 STGB2, I'd be quick to sign in too 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Finished for such an old and awkward kit I think it built very well and I enjoyed the build. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Wow! We're going to have some tough times when choosing only which one to vote in the poll! There are so many, so stunning builds that all I can say is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 *THE POLL* It will be set up tomorrow. Time in 🇫🇮 is closing in on 23, that's 11 PM for all you who are challenged to deal with a 24 hour clock, and I must head to bed soon. The gallery is filled with first class representations of the Junkerses in all the colour and subtype variations. Some more are near completion but won't unfortunately make the GB deadline. Don't worry! We have the Inspiration Gallery set up for those late finishers too 😇. V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It's always a little bit sad when a groupbuild ends. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 The poll is now open, but only shortly, so go and give your vote! I think this has been a nice little GB, lively enough but not one to flood us with posts so much that it'd be difficult to find time to actually build something . Thank you all for your participation and input in this one, like Enzo just wrote, 10 hours ago, Enzo the Magnificent said: It's always a little bit sad when a groupbuild ends. Indeed it is . But like women and trams, there'll always be new ones! I noticed only less than half a dozen of the junkersmodellers have already signed in on the Axis&Co. Twins GB proposal for next year. That'd be a perfect opportuntity to continue the theme of the Dorniers of 2022 and Junkerses of 2022/23 with Heinkels and many other Axis twins in 2024. Please take a look here if I raised your interest . Best regards, V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, in our own group build universe, actually, for all of us usual suspects at least, there hasn't been a moment without a group build going on, or better yet, multiple going on at the same time, for more years than I can remember . Thank God for that V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I admit being a bit bonkers for the Junkers (88) and have been that for a long time. So, having finished three of them lately, what do I find myself looking for 1) to buy kits of, 2) to do paint schemes and 3) variants my ten so far don't cover and 4) group builds in which they'd be eligible? You guessed it! So far, I've managed to keep calm and restrain myself... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did rush a little bit to meet the deadline, but i will revisit mine once I have plotted a better way of making those damned tiny antenna !! So many different finishes for the same type - it was fun seeing each one develop Count me in for the next group build 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 That was fun and a very high standard. If I had more shelf space I’d build more like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yes this was fun thanks to everyone for contributions across the threads. I have to ask why weren't thier more votes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask why weren't thier more votes? I was too lazy to harass people to finish the group build properly. Like they say the job is not finished before the paperwork are done! On the other hand, I understand that many of us forget all about a group build when the gallery post is done, and move forward to/in other group builds. Like it's right now questioned in its own thread, polls are not that common anymore, and if one isn't advertised outside the specific GB section, even some of the participants don't know to come back and vote. Trust me, though, there WILL be a poll in the Draken and B-17 STGB:s too! V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
