Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I have had to close down the previous chat thread as it was approaching forty pages. It just goes to show how popular this groupbuild is. So please carry on the chat in this thread and lets see how many pages it can run... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyOD Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Day 21 roundup... Can we really be three weeks in already? And also on the second chat page? Quick update tonight because I'm just in from a belter of a Chinese and I'd like a quick tinker with my Seafire before I turn in (no, @Bertie McBoatface, that is not a euphemism.) Couple more turned blue and excellent additions to the gallery today, namely @Touvdal's Wildcat (first Sea Dog to turn in two completed builds, I salute you sir!) and @Louise's elegant and unusual blue early Seafire. Just the one new build to add, @danbuoy's fleet of Matchbox 1/700 warships grows from three to four with his Narvik class destroyer. Going into the third weekend of the GB we stand at: 147 builds 104 underway 10 finished Have a great weekend of modelling and whatever else you're up to shipmates. Cheers Tony 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Been busy with work and 3D CAD drawing the extras for HMS BRAVE but thought I'd better catch up with the GB chat. I think I joined it on about page 29 of the last thread. Wow! There's a lot of really high quality stuff going on out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyOD Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 In an attempt to bring some balance to my two passions of the great outdoors and tinkering with little plastic aeroplanes, I've spent the weekend in the Peak District hiking and wild camping. I turn my heard for a couple of days and... Quite the flurry of activity today shipmates. I'd better get onto the Build List! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Right then... Day 23 roundup It's a been a busy weekend on the good ship SSD with a whole bunch of new projects and a few more splendid additions to the gallery. Newly launched are not one but two Russian helicopters from @zebra, plus a third from @exdraken. @PinkThorn242 brings us right up to date with his F-35 (quite the timespan we have in this GB, from a Viking ship all the way to the most up-to-date airpower). @Evil_Toast_RSA is pitching in with a Hellcat from Eduard, and there's yet another chopper in Lifeline's Sea Cobra. Finally @Marklo adds his fourth build, a Swift Boat, with a hovercraft on the horizon thanks to @paul-muc! Turning blue we have finished builds from @theplasticsurgeon with build number two, a great looking Spitfire floatplane, @psdavidson with our first sub, HMS Trafalgar and @flashlight with a very unusual Beriev. So, the numbers for today: 154 builds 107 underway 13 finished Thanks for the continued support. Tony 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 How often does one see a GB where the chat thread gets so busy it needs to be broken up like a harbor riot? This is a testament if the awesome job you mods are doing with this! 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question that springs to mind is whether the mods are the shore patrol or the drunken sailors? Or maybe the barmen of the waterfront dives? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I was away for a single weekend and just had to catch up on 60+ marvellous maritime and amazing aeronautical builds! The rest of Britmodeller must be comin' up a ghost town. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, @Enzo the Magnificent has probably got another half dozen projects minimum ongoing in each GB :lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Evening all, here is your Day 24 roundup Two new WIP's today, both of which bring something fresh and new to the GB - yes, even with the huge number of builds of all shapes and sizes going on, it's possible! So, thank you to @flashlight with his deep-sea Shinkai sub (something like four different ones in the GB now), and welcome to @Mick Drover with his USMC Skyhawk. Meanwhile, two over the line and turning blue: @airfixpeter's folded up 1/48 Lynx, and @TEMPESTMK5's smart'n'shiny T6 - again, both fantastic subjects in their very different ways. I'm fighting the Build List on three fronts now - new WIPS, started WIPS and finished builds - none sunk yet, happily. If I've got my counting right (usually I don't go above two hands) today's numbers are: 156 builds 108 underway 15 finished Cheers Tony Edited January 31 by TonyOD 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Sea Harrier is my absolute favourite aircraft type @Nerazzurri so by all means please do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerazzurri Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 @Col. At least it used to be your favourite.......until you see my rendition I'm firmly of the belief it's the taking part that counts! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
