There's such a variety of interesting, colourful, unusual subjects we could have kept this GB going all year and still hardly began to explore its true extent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sorry I missed out on partaking in this GB. Too much work recently combined w/ too many irons in the fire and a really slow build pace resulted in sacrifices having to be made. I did see some peeps representing the MiG-21 contingent, so all was not lost. I have been enjoying following the builds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Definitely a hardly ever ending field of possibilities! Africa is just such a diverse area, a more so over the last 70 years.... Will not manage to finish mine during this week, but still happy to have participated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 No sign of an extension then? This hot humid weather has stopped me from putting the finishing coat of varnish on my 110 - guess I will have to get up extra early in the morning to do it!

SleeperService Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 With amazing timing my IL-28 has finally left the airlines care and is at Langley where HM Govt decide how much ransom I'll have to pay. Better late than never I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still aiming to finish Algeria and Lybia by the weekend but that Spanish Bristol needs a little more work. Did someone say time for a cheeky Eritrean scene? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably have managed as it has gone a bit cooler, but I could see a few others were struggling a bit, and it would be a shame if they could not get them in the Gallery for the sake of a few days more.

Tim R-T-C Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Phew, finally finished my last vignette. It has been a really fun GB and great support from the hosts. Still got the parts for an Eritrean and Zimbabwean scene, but I think I'll hold those until time allows in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 And be made it with little ultimate fuss (though was really sweating it a few days ago when it took5 days to sort the canopy out on the sabre) thanks again for the extension and for this GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 With this GB now officially finished I want to make an opportunity to thank everyone who participated and made it such an enjoyable event. We've seen a wide variety of subjects covered and told something of Africa's story over the past few months. In particular I'd like to thank @Robert Stuart for providing us with a fascinating insight to the various numbers within our GB. Perhaps we can all do this again sometime in the future. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the sheer number of entrants in recent GBs creating a poll has proved impossible but it would be possible here if there is sufficient desire. Over to you gang - do we?
