Great idea If you can get an approval from the mods Im in. Ive lost four people to cancer in my life and hope that no one else goes. On a more personal note I don't have Cancer. My Chemo/infusions are for staph infections (flesh eating nasties). Somewhat common for diabetics.

Marklo Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Hello all hope you’re enjoying the GB. Sprained my wrist a few days ago so I didn’t get near the bench over the last few days but I managed to get in an epic paint session today All four got to see a bit of action. Second/third camo colour in a few days time hopefully. Now all things being equal I should get them finished within two weeks. Possibly giving me about four weeks to squeeze on a final build or two. Hmmmm Edited March 11, 2023 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Sixty nine build threads. Twenty finished builds. Forty nine days in/forty three left. Edited March 11, 2023 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always encouraging people to build just one more waffer theen modelle, so I suppose I'd better practice what I preach. Gideon doesn't seem too concerned if I start another FW 190A-8 tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have a build planned for the next GB (less than 2 weeks away) with a lot of resin sitting on the bench staring back at me. The box is strategically positioned to remind me "Thou shall complete all thy builds started". I think you can guess what it is. Good chance I'll need all the time available. I've had my holiday building lovely Eduard kits. Now it's time for sawing, cutting, shaving and possibly, a good bout of quiet cursing.

What about the 190F-8, those resin bits are for an F-8. as for quiet cursing, it only has benefits if it's let out loud. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, I had just popped in to say that I finally ordered an Eduard "A-5 light" this morning, while taking the real bait, but that I didn't know if I'd have time to stake a claim in this GB- but now I see that excuse isn't going to work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Progress on all four builds. Pleased with the overall looks. Even more progress. Wil comfortably finish all four be the end of next week if not sooner. Edited March 18, 2023 by Marklo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
