bigbadbadge Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I am no where near finishing the Sea Venom, my own fault really, I carried on building models for my FAA thread and decided to detail it a bit too !!! I just can't help myself 🤪 I won't need an extension though as stated a way off, so just a fail for me. Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Until last night I thought I might be able to finish my Auto Union racing car but it's now a mess of coagulated superglue (assuming coagulated is the right word; mess certainly is)! I could probably still get it done if I had to, buuuuut .....😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Enzo, the model is fine, but I've failed to meet the deadline, that's okay though I will just carry it on in my dedicated FAA build thread.

Chris Groupbuilds have never really been about meeting deadlines. It's all about the sense of community. And remember, the gallery will re-open after a week or so. When it is we would love to see your Sea Venom take its rightful place there. By the way, that applies to everyone who has missed the deadline. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway extension or not my lightning and hopefully eventually my 737 will be done, and my Canberra will be at some point in the next day or two Just now, PhantomBigStu said: Gallery’s reopen?

Dear Sir Could I most humbly request a 2 week extension to this GB to allow the "malingerers" whoops I mean GB members to be able to complete their builds and get them in the Gallery.

Adrian Hills Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Please, Please, another two weeks. I have just got back from holiday cycling the Orkney and Shetland islands and can complete my Ju 188 by Sunday night (the deadline) and squeeze in a completion of the He 111, which is mostly built 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hells Bells! I had paced myself quite well for the finish date, now there's a void that needs filling. I'll be having a think about this.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Another two weeks available now! There might be another build in me yet. I had planned on stopping at this point. Totalling up my builds to date gave me a bit of a jolt. A mere 22 builds. I must get out more. Here they all are, too many for one picture, so my bragfest spans a few snaps. Indulge me, I'm on a roll... Thanks Pat and Dave for running a corker of a Group Build. Certainly the biggest yet and probably the best as well. Topping this one won't be easy. Tony. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hmm. 2 extra weeks means (counts on fingers, considers taking boots off for extra computing power) umm... 2 extra weekends. I may be able to get the Zipper over the line after all. No promises, mind. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been my first and I've loved it. I managed five builds, which I doubt I'd have done otherwise. It's been wonderful revelling (poor choice of word...) in all this Matchbox nostalgia and seeing so many superb builds. Can we do it again sometime? 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Well I won’t argue with an extension. That said the Fury is a whisker away from finished and the ie that I’ve got the camo on the Helldiver it’s not too far behind.
