AnonymousFO98 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Well that's all folks! The Spanish Civil War GB has come to an end. But unlike Franco we won't be rounding up and slamming them in a concentration camp or worse! oo no, not quite! As I understand it the threads won't get locked down. Therefore any incompleted builds will be able to carry on and be posted in the gallery when finished. furthermore as dicussed in the GB threads, many of us have kits generously given by Blimp. In my view it would be a travesty if they remained stash bound. I would like people to post their future 'Blimp builds' in the Gallery too. assuming of course they carry markings aplicable to the SCW. Otherwise you WILL be getting a visit from the Genralissimo's henchmen! I hope everyone is in agreement with this. (the bit about future Blimp builds, not the henchmen) The poll will be set up soon and a draw will take place for those builds in the gallery already. Later completions will be ineligable. So all i have to do is thank Blimp not only for his kindess but also his help in answering our questions. Many thanks to everyone who took part, and in such a great spirit. Have loved every minute of the GB, which was a joy. The gallery looks super with some types that rarely get seen many thanks for your participation and cameraderie best wishes Paul Edited August 1, 2009 by walrus
Erwin Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It was a good GB with great models to show. Well done all.
Iain Ogilvie Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Yup - great GB - well done folks! I will be continuing with my build soon - promise - and thanks for all the support you guys gave me when I was cutting plastic. Iain
Seamus Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Yup, a well run GB indeed, congratulations to Paul and Paul for ensuring it has run so swimmingly It's been fun taking part and watching others build and showcase some pretty unusual types that we rarely see modelled round these parts. I've also learned a thing or two about the conflict, which is a welcomed bonus
blimp Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 i'd like to thank everyone for their intrest in this GB of a rather offbeat era, and hope you all enjoyed it as much as me . it's certainly got me back to to the bench and reminded me what moggelling is all about again , CHEERS ALL !
AnonymousA667 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 This has been an excellent GB IMHO, both to observe and participate (yes, I will finish the He 70, honest!). We really should thank Sgt Squarehead for initially suggesting to me that it would be a suitable GB theme. Despite my misgiving that this would likely be something of a 'minority' GB you guys have exceeded expectations with your builds, input and enthusiasm. peebeep
Maxidad Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Ditto all of the above. Special thanks to blimp for some fabulous donations (and some mental scratch-building) and well done to the moderators for your encouragement and support.
Stebos Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Indeed, a very cool GB. The history helped elevate it from a mere collection of themes, and the subjects many and varied! Thanks for running it so smooth Paul and thanks Blimp for the generosity and encouragement.
AnonymousFO98 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 Cheers everyone Peebeep - did it again! Very remiss of me to have left you out - so an apology is due. Put it down to being late and innate stoopidity but i forgot to thank you for getting the whole thing set up and rolling so smoothly. many thanks and very sorry for the ommission.
AnonymousA667 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I'm not in the least put out, you have done most of the work! peebeep
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Cheers for running this GB guys! Huge thanks to Blimp for the kits and the decals.....The BA-64M will be appearing in WIP(Armour) shortly, at present it's being re-Sovietised with some stripy camo. The decals will be making an appearance on several other SCW vehicles in due course. All the best Andy S. PS - Is there any chance we could leave the threads open, so that I can add more builds to the theme as and when.....I've already bought a couple more SCW armour kits and they would be much more 'in context' here than in a random WIP thread. Edited August 1, 2009 by Sgt.Squarehead
Redboost Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hi, I have to thanks, too - to the moderators and everyone for kind comments on my build. I really enjoyed this 'Spanish period' and hope to see you again in other GB's! Cheers Libor
