Old Man Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Here's an 'out of zone ' might have been: Had this been in more convenient storage it might have been my entry here. It's certainly out of my time zone, and into the bargain I have no fondness whatever for the Mustang. On the other hand, it's a truly weird animacule, which I always like, and needs a covering of foil, which I am quite comfortable with. But at any rate, now that it's to hand, I expect I'll be taking up for my next build, once the Type 95 and crew is done. And I'm going to have to get cracking to pull all that together by the deadline.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I'm afraid I'm going to have to admit defeat, but blame it on extenuating circumstances, namely having to spend 6 weeks sorting out a house move just after I'd started the build. Its a real shame as I was so looking forward to having a go at this sea going tug, but I've really not got round to doing any modelling again in the new house, trying to find the best location for it still. There is therefore no chance that I'll be able to complete it for the end of July. I can't tell you how disappointed I am by this Edited July 12, 2023 by Kallisti 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with getting the new place how you want it, there's plenty of time for models after that James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just when you thought you were all nearly safe, I've asked for an extension because we seem to have a few projects teetering on the edge. I will let you know how it goes as soon as I find out. Thanks, Adrian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 I am pleased to announce that the GB has been extended to 13th August, which should give some extra time for those of you who are worried about finishing your builds by the weekend. Thanks to Enzo for making this happen! Regards, Adrian 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I just want to thank everyone who participated in the GB for bringing so many interesting and unusual subjects, formats and materials. I'm sure we all learned a lot in the GB and I hope it's broadened our horizons a little. For those who didn't manage to finish, I look forward to seeing the items in either WIP or KUTA at some point - there are some really interesting projects going on. Thanks especially to my co-hosts @TonyW and @Mr T, and of course to@Enzo the Magnificent for his technical input and administration.

TonyW Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Another GB come and gone, where does all that time go? This one has been a bit special though. The idea of moving away from the familiar and exploring new frontiers has been very interesting, informative and highly enjoyable. My limitations have been mercilessly revealed but in a way that holds plenty of promise for the future. Thanks for a first class GB. Tony. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thanks for running this, I'm really sorry I wasn't able to complete mine, bloody house moves I've only just got round to completing my first build since I moved here, was struggling to find the mojo again after all the disruption. I find it takes time to settle into a new works space as you have to get used to it foibles each time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thanks Adrian, it was a 'fun' experience (in the same way that I am about to set off with the walking group in the driving rain), and nice to do something different different. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thank you for suggesting this GB, Adrian. I was probably a bit over-ambitious with my build (and certainly with the scope creep), but it was fun to be part of. And the Dalek WILL be finished.

Ray S Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 @AdrianMF, thanks for suggesting this Group Build. It has been fabulous seeing what we could produce out of it, and they are all brilliant. We had a good number of completions, and top marks to those who did not quite make it to the finishing line. It takes quite a bit to push ourselves that much, and for me at least, it takes a Group Build like this to give me that final push to do something that would probably only stayed in the stash. The amount of help, advice and encouragement really helps in situations like this. Great builds all, whether finished or no Ray 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Thanks @AdrianMF for the GB. Not sure I’m still back in my comfort zone after participating, I haven’t built an aeroplane in ages. 🤪 What have you done to me. 😆 Thanks again.
