Looks good! What vehicle is that? I'm too lazy to go back to the first page and find out!

Maybe a shot a little further out from the model to get a overall view would be nice... don't worry about not finishing in time. I have only finished on time twice in the GB's I am in... In fact I still haven't STARTED the build I was supposed to do for the Midway GB and I'm the one who started the whole thing!

Stipp - bad luck! sorry to hear that happened...

I had to go into my signature and I think all I did was at the first of the line hit enter. Just try putting a space in between the [./IMG][.IMG] things and such... things like that..

Bit of a bummer on not seeing the 'secret build' Jules Sad [:(]

But we all know that a 'couple' of hours is modeler code for 'I have buckleys of finishing this in time'

Thanks for running this one for us Jules, you did a great job and ran a GB of a fantastic subject.
Kudos

Will see you all in the BoG GB Big Smile [:D]

Graet builds Darren they both came out great, good job mate Thumbs Up [tup]

And as this Gb officialy comes to an end i'd like to thank all of you for your participation Thumbs Up [tup]

And i'm happy to annonce that all the usual suspects came through and finished their builds, i'll be seeing all you nutcases in the upcoming builds....
Once again thanks all for making this a sweet GB Thumbs Up [tup]

OH BTW sorry fellas but i didn't finish my 2nd build in time Sad [:(]

What i thought was going to take 3 hours actually turned out to be about 5 hours worth of work and at the moment i'm up to the first coat of flat clear which will be followed by some pastel weathering and then it's final coat of flat, rigging and then finished....I will finish it within the next few hours but i will only be able to post a pic or 2 using my mobile/cell phone camera which is not the best quuality but on the bright side i'm getting myself a new digi cam next week so look out for some decent pics in the A/C forum Thumbs Up [tup]

Darren - great builds!!! very realistically done!

Jules - I suppose I should say thank you also but I am still mad at you for stealing the last brownie surprise the other night after dinner... but it has been a fun build all the same and I am looking forward to the next one! Maybe I can find another "Black K" type build and do some more nose art!

Well fellas here we are on Mon the 31st Oct so her are (at last) the official shots of my two builds for this GB.
Oh yeah and sorry for the backdrop, but one of my sheets of blue cardboard went west and I replaced it with one of a slightly different shade.

The kits themselves are great (both Tamiya) and caused no problemes at all, except for the decals which were like laying sheets of vinyl. The only AM item is an Ultracast resin seat with harness.

Tom, now you know there is no way that i would waste a perfectly good bowl of "Aunty Biddles Borsch" Thumbs Up [tup]

And yeah i know what the date is but thats cool cause i'm going on the Forum time for this build because it effectivly gives me an extra day which is a godsend because i've only just finised decaling, i reckon i still have about 3 hours left on it but all should be well Thumbs Up [tup]

Jules Looking forward to seeing that 'secret build'.

Is it a Bedford NAAFI truck? Wink [;)]

Gavia (Eduard) released a very nice kit of the Lysander in 1/48 a couple of years ago. It was a limited run, but should be findable. There was also a much older 1/48 kit from Italeri, but the Gavia is a lot better.

Well Tom i am really tempted to just spit it out but with only a few days to go i won't, but i will say i had the paint scheme for my upcoming HE 219 build in mind when i decided to start the kit, kind of a practice build type of thing Thumbs Up [tup]

Thanks Darren, it has been a lot of fun this GB hasn't it.......BTW talking about next one's I'm thinking of doing a Lysander for the next BoB, do you know if it's available in 1/48 Question [?]

I can only recall the old 1/72 Matchbox kit...........

Well the 109 and the Kubel are now complete, so I'll set up my little blue backdrop studio this weekend and take some final pics. Unfortunately the figures never made it, they'll have to wait for a burst of inspiration some other time.

Also, as we are now closing in on the end of this build I want to say a big thanks to Jules for running this baby so smoothly Thumbs Up [tup]

. It's been a heck of a lot of fun with some great models produced on the way, I'll certainly be looking forward to the next NAGB.
