Deacon Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Well I said that I was going to crack on with builds for other GB's, but I've got the bug after making the SE 5 and the RE 8. So, I am going to try to get this finished before the end of the GB. I started this build as I was making up the RE 8, honest. Box shot and two photos of the stage I am at now. I am hoping this will be a quit quick build, not so much rigging for starters. I notice in the photographs the middle wings didn't seem too straight so that has now been sorted. Cheers Deacon Edited July 21, 2010 by Deacon
ollieholmes Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I wasnt planning on letting any more entries into this one and just encouraging people to wind up their current builds (i know i need to) but as this ones so small and fast im not sure. Sadly my other group build host is having to take time off so im on my own on this one.

Consider me well and truly encouraged to get this build finished on time. Cheers Deacon
ollieholmes Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news there but id like to get the last few models started finished.
Deacon Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 As the GB host I have to agree with your decision. But I am sorry I can't agree with your reasoning. Deacon
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Deacon, there is no rule that will disallow you from building or complete your build. We have never put a cap on entries times in any previous GB and I see no reason to start now. Olli I know this is your show but I feel your ruling to be unreasonable. Deacon or anyone else for that mater either builds and finishes before the end of the GB or he fails to complete in time, simple as that.
Deacon Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 OK, this is where the build is at close of play tonight. Sorry about the quality. Tomorrow I will be adding the rigging and might see this build finished on Tuesday. Cheers Deacon
Deacon Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Well, here is the finished build. I had a near catastrophe as I was trimming the ends of the rigging. The plane fell out of my hands and headed for the floor. Thinking quickly I closed my legs so it would fall in my lap. Only, I wasn't quick enough and managed to sandwich it between my thighs. There was a audible crack and I feared the worse. However, I could see no structural damage, but the sharp eyed amongst you will see some threads aren't as taught as they should be. Anyway, here it is. and two shots of my four RFC builds. The DH.2 was made prior to this GB. Thanks for looking everyone. C&C welcomed. Deacon
CPNGROATS Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Deacon: That's a smart looking RFC airforce your building... Cheers, ggc
ollieholmes Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 You have done a realy nice tidy job on this one. Its making me think of getting one of these kits.
