***FINAL NOTICE***

Ok guys, it's two weeks after the official weekend and one week after the alternate weekend so I'm giving notice that the official end of this GB will be this Monday morning.  By all means keep posting your pics if you still don't finish but I will not be updating the front page after Monday morning.  I will post a pic of your latest progress at that time.  I think we're getting away from the original concept of this GB and it's time for some motivation/pressure!

 Ah Moose! Tell your wife 15 years from now when that new baby is my daughters age she will understand the soap opera ref: Enjoy them while they are nice and immobile!

Man Final notice? Better get my digs in!  Come on fellows you can do it!  Pedro offers you his protection! Funny thing, I man carries his model into battle. If by the grace of God he survives, he carries a strange sense of guilt with him.  Nah nee Nah Nah! Na Nee Na Na! Hey Hey Hey ! Good bye! 

One bananna , two bananna , 3 bananna, 4!  It's Danger Island!

Will our hero's be sucessful in there quest? Or will they fail? Stay tuned for previews of next weeks episode!

 PS I think Dave is getting a little ancy.....  It is his way of saying  Poop! or get off the Pot!

Now this GB badge makes more sense to me!

It's Astounding! Time is Fleeting, Madness Takes it toll! Now listen closely, Not for very much longer.... I've got to, Keep control!

The Corsair is finally done! Smile [:)]

I think it turned out pretty good considering the time spent building it!
I've noticed thet I forgot to paint the frame in the front of the canopy, but when I looked, that part isn't molded on the canopy!

The F-117 still needs some work, and I don't expect to finish it within the given deadline!

Anyway, I had a great time, and will do this all over again if given the opportunity!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Very Nice work Azgaron! ( still think that is how you say may name in Swedish) Corsairs are always a winner in my book!

Smeagle that looks like pne of my kids old toy boxes! I still have a lot of those figs still in the package to when my boys suddenly changed intrest to girls. Confused [%-)] Great progress I hope it all gets done for you.

Speaking of getting Done? Ahem Ahem. Roy you all set with that P-40 or is it to cold to work on it? Brrrr -24 degress. I used to pull outdoor guard duty in weather like that. Seems it was always below zero or over 100. I did find several of my own P-40's that need finishing. From Years and years ago. Perhaps they would be a fitting tribute to your completed build?

The Me 321? Way cool! It is huge in 1/72 scale. !

Anybody else sneaking in a last minute build under the wire?

Great job! Big Smile [:D]

Azgaron, your corsair looks great Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup].  I'm glad you dtuck with it and were able to finish.  Please post pics of the F-117 when you can.

Smeagol, that desk looks like organized chaos.  Keep at it, it's looking great.

Roy, quit whining about the cold and get to it.  The cold weather is the perfect opportunity to stay in and hunker down in front of the bench. Wink [;)]

Let's see, besides Roy and Smeagol that leaves Dupes, Nam and Buddy who have started and are still out there somewhere and possibly Alex.

Smeagol, your bench looks almost like mine.

I should have picks later today.  Not 100% finished but very close.
