ONE WEEK LEFT- Extended to midnight wednesday

Post by lancfan »

We have a week to go and those of us building fairly involved subjects may be feeling the pressure from this, does anyone need an extension to finish their models?

I may change the definition of complete, but I think I'm good.

I should be able to complete the model in time, but having said that, that will probably mean 20-7 23:00 CET or something equally close to the line. All it takes is one setback and I'll be in trouble. In other words, just enough pressure to keep this interesting :-D
I'll most likely know by the end of Friday whether I need to declare an emergency..

I've just got a tiny bit to do on the Typhoon, but other than that I'm good.

I don't think I'll need an extension (fingers crossed) but I have to admit that I've not even looked at my Horsa since returning from holiday :shock:
Work and airshows seem to have conspired against me so far, but the prospects for the coming week are looking brighter!
I only really have a little detail painting, a bit more weathering, some gloss varnishing, decalling and matt varnishing to do...... :???: :-D
Best wishes

After repositioning the wing, and having to remove the undercarriage at the same time, things are going okay but I can't say about needing more time at the moment. Should be okay (fingers crossed). :grin:
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

I've let this one slip away from me a bit - I'll crack on with it in the next few days and see if I can get it finished.
Cheers

It looks as if Rob, August, Iggie, and I are the only 4 working, with me lagging furthest.
I'd like a couple-three extra days but if it turns out I'm the only one then don't extend just for me.

A good model is any model you can walk away from.

You're being too modest. If the page hits are anything to go by, this is the most interesting project of the bunch, and it's not like you could prevent being knocked off the line by storm and illness. If any project in this GB justifies an extension, this is it.

John, we all want to see your fascinating monitor kit built so I will extend the GB so we can watch this to the end. Three day extension granted to end at midnight on Wednesday.
