Unfortunately I was beaten by own challenge and only completed the wing and cockpit on the Spitfire. (Month wasn't a complete loss as I did finish four other models, but that's another story.)

 

On the other hand, Elizabeth mostly finished her Seaview in time. It'll be getting a little detail painting later.

 

Mark Hembree had some fun finishing the Dragon 1/72 scale Flakpanzer:

 

 

And whilst poor fits and missing parts almost defated him, Mark Savage just about finished the IndyCar in time.

 

Mostly we had a good time spending more time in the FSM workshop and plan to make it a regular occurence.

I hope everyone else enjoyed the GB. I'll get a badge up today or tomorrow for everyone who finished.

Cheers, Aaron

I've updated the opening list with photos of the completed models so far. By the way, if you aren't fnished yet, don't sweat it. Feel free to keep updating members about your builds and let us know when you are done. I will finish the Spitfire soon, I swear!Embarrassed

Cheers, Aaron

I'll second that sentiment.  Even though time ran out on me, I'll put up a couple of pics of the BUFF when done.

Howdy All,

 

Whew!  Just in time, I finished at the deadline 35 January!  Noithing like waiting until the last minute!

I call her done now. Sure there are improvements I could make, but I figure I can learn on the next model.  Never did get the fuselage decals to settle down even with microsol.  It helped but just not enough.

Had a great time, thanks to A. Skinner for hosting.

 

Cheers

 

Chris

Chris,

Looks great, and don't worry, I think we all can never consider a project completely done, I know every time I look at my display, I see in my mind things that can be added or improved, its part of the fun.

Thanks to Aaron and the FSM staff for hosting this GB and allowing us another way to be in touch with those who work on the magazine.

Cheers,

Scott

Aaron and all, I have not forgotten this. I have completed all but the decals. I had to work the last 6 days of January, which was unexpected. I will do the decals wednesday or thrusday and post pictures and a little 'What I Learned' commentary

Go Titans!

Tempestjohhny,

 

I like the camo paint job. You are thinking about it all wrong. You are not three weeks late, you got it done on Jan 50th!!

 

Cheers
