GB Award for modeling greatness decided

[Clunkmeister]

I have decided to do something a bit different this time.

We will have two winners, first and second. Plus last place.

Last place will need to provide the prizes, however have no fear, the 9 year old judges already told me my half finished build sucks, so I guess I’m it 😂

Two kits:  both brand new releases. An Infinity/HPH D3A1 Val, and a Trumpeter Devastator.

First place gets to choose, second place gets the kit the other guy didn’t take. Two truly awesome kits, two awesome models to be chosen.  Let the games finish up.

[ScottsGT]

Ernie, you are beyond generous!  

[CANicoll]

Dammit, I thought I was a shoo-in for last place.  I want a recount!  

Definitely agree with Scott, Ernie, thanks for your generosity and all the work you put into the site, and this GB.  It was fun!

And here I didn’t even have time to finish mine! 🤣. But I expect in the next couple months, I’ll have an RFI for it. 

[GazzaS]

You are very generous, Ernie!

[DocRob]

Indeed, very generous Ernie, that will motivate for a last week run for some near finished builds . The more the better.

Cheers Rob

Very generous Ernie, thank you. The Elco is there but…………photography sucks…….I’ll have another go……..

[Landlubber Mike]

My guess is I'll be in last place.  I probably need another 2-3 weeks to finish mine.  Oh well.  

[BlrwestSiR]

Well, I bit off way more than I could chew with my Vosper build but I'll pick it up again and get it done. 

One day.

The Tomcat is closer but not close enough. 

As Agent 86 would have said:

"Missed it by THAT much!"

Wrong agent number, 86, not 99

Depending on the amount of angry pushback and offers of graft and gratuity, I may extend it a week or so to allow you rabble rousers to complete your builds.  

[HubertB]

I can offer you a number of « pots-de-vin », but my Cutlass will need more than a week to be finished …

Hubert

[Jackster]

That's very generous of you Ernie!

Unfortunately, I will have to count myself out as real life has got in the way and there is no way I will finish mine in time. I will do it eventually though.

Good luck to all who finished, there are some great builds on there!🙂

Cheers

Realistically, I probably need 2-3 weeks.  I'm just about done with the ship, but still have to finish the Walrus and catapult and I'd hate to rush it and screw things up.

Another week would be great. Life has really got in the way the last couple of weeks and I haven't really got anything done but I just need to flat coat and attach all the extraneous bits and I'll be done.

[telepatu]

Ooh, really generous and nice! 👏

BTW, is there a next group build coming up or did I miss it?

[CANicoll]

What's another week among friends?? Plus, next week is a holiday here so 7 days, 10 days....  what's a few more days, anyhew?  Can't wait to see all the builds...

Ernie

As always, your generosity is simply amazing.

I did my best, but I failed. I got so busy with work, trailer, golf, summer, that I haven't touch a glue bottle in 3 months...
