No More Excuses GB....end date extended

Count me in!  This is a great idea, I've wanted to see this kind of GB for a while....rather than finish the kits...

1. Revel of Germany HMS Victory

2. Tamiya 1/35 LVAAP

3. Tamiya 1/35 Early Tiger

4. DML 1/35 Elefant Premium Edition

I think thats all, but I'm sure there are more laying around somewhere.

Some badge picture ideas, warning, one is NSFW and would need to be edited...

Warning #2 - This needs to be reworded to fit in an E-Rated forum...

This one is my favorite, and since this is a spinoff of weekend madness, very fitting.


Cheers,
Alex

Roy:

I believe I may have a contender: my 1/32 Trumpeter P-38L. I think I may have entered it into a Gb at one time, but that's way past, I started the kit February 2005 and have not done much since.

If you feel this one qualifies, count me in as a fellow procrastinator! Having a deadline may help!

Roy, if there is ever a GB I need to join its this one!!  I have several unfinished kits sitting on the shelf that.....well, just need to get FINISHED!!  Some of them are unfinished from GBs that have ended, some are just ones that I started and never had a chance to finish.

So here is the list of what I'd like to submit for this GB.  Please let me know which ones qualify!

1/35 Tamiya Pz IV Ausf H (90% assembled - started Sept, 2006)

1/35 Italeri M4A1 Sherman (assembled, w/basecoat - started Nov, 2006)

1/35 Dragon Panther Ausf D (15% assembled - started Aug, 2007)

1/72 Dragon Panther Ausf G (75% assembled - started Nov, 2007)

1/72 Dragon King Tiger (P) (75% assembled - started Nov. 2007)

Yep, those are my "Shelf Queens"!!  As you can see I only build armor!  I can take photos and post them here to show their current state.

I actually had a couple more in mind, but realized that I started those in 2008, so they don't count!  S'OK, the 5 listed are plenty!!  If I can get them done this year I will be a happy camper!!

Question for you Roy, do we list all of our "Shelf Queens" or just the ones that we can reasonably hope (there's that hope word again) to finish in the span of the GB? Also, if I listed all the unfinished kits that were given to me like you did I would have about a dozen more   Do these really qualify since they're actually the result of someone else's procrastination?

You know that's a good question.  I just listed them with the note at the end.  I will do mine first and if I have time I will try for them.  There it is again, if I have time

Here goes,

Hasegawa 1:32 P-51D

Tamiya 1:48 Bf109E-4/7

Revell 1;48 P-38J

Revell 1:48 F-14A 

Tamiya 1:35 King Tiger Production Turret

Revell 1:350 Bismarck (This one is less than a year old but it's gonna take a looong time, I can remove it but maybe this will be my motivation to get crackin')

Regards,

Jeff

Edit: Thanks Sean, I feel much better now...
