My nearest and dearest has decided she needs a break and is bringing daughter with her so tragically I shall be alone with the dogs, cats and my workbench for the next two days..,

 

I’ll just have to console myself my hitting the bench and eating badly for two days….

[Marklo]

This is what happens when they leave me on my own 😀🤪… At €17.99 the Tamiya panther is the most expensive kit there…

 

And this I think was my find of the day an Italeiri YB49 for €15.

Did that stash come from Paul Walshe's shop? If so, I think I was the previous owner of the YB-49!

Mostly, with some also coming from Marks models in Greenooge, since I was up in Dublin I decided to dithered tour 😀

 

The YB is a beast, no idea where I’ll put it if I build it.

[Marklo]

I now have a monogram B1 to add n to the mix 😀 Haven’t built one since I was a kid and it’s yet another one of those builds I never felt I did justice to.

 Hi all,

 

just a quick reminder that the poll for the new Groupbuild constitution is here.  It closes on Monday.  If you haven't yet voted, head over there right now.  You know you want to.

Feeling a bit better today so got stuck into  the fleet 😄there’s also the mig and the two shuttles. 

[Marklo]

Just over two weeks left so time to get stuck in, I’m now in a small sccske charge, the Zeppelin Staljrn being the challenge to get finished in the time available. 
 

So on a semi related theme, speak now if you think you need an extension!!!

Probably a bit late to be speaking up but I could use one! I need to actually post an update on my build for starters and might need to get blitzing after that...

But out of curioisity, have we accidently been granted one? The Gallery appears to say that it "Locks Dec 21, 2025", whereas the end date for the GB is currently 2 November.

It's quite a difference; one has only a small time to go, the other is far away...

Cheers, Richard.

Normally extensions are one or two weeks so the December date is probably a rare error in the part of @Enzo the Magnificent 🤪😃

 

So the question, anyone else need an extension. I should be painting today/tomorrow so I’m just about ok, but probably wouldn’t say no either 😃

[bootneck]

I might need an extension as I am also busy trying to get something ready for Telford, in the background. 

 

This S-61N is putting up a little bit of a struggle although it is coming together now.

 

cheers,

 

Mike

I have a build, untouched since July, at the bottom of page 3 which is where my mojo ran off and hid

I doubt an extension will help in this case

[Marklo]

So we’re looking at a week left. For various reasons (my health, 1/1 scale projects) I’m now not looking great for finishing my builds so could  do with an extension, @Enzo the Magnificentcan you help?

Only the 2 weeks, better order my b-2 by weekends end  

[Marklo]

The real reason for the extension, most of my week was spent stripping the two tables back to natural wood and painting the bay window wall which was a dark olive feature wall😄
