Stuart, well done for your work as GBL, it's been a great GB.

Normally a couple of extra days would have allowed me to finish at least one of my builds, but due to heavy work commitments plus I'm off on Holiday, so no bench time for the next two - three weeks.

Apologies for my two DNF's, but to be fair a big vac-form was always going to be a challenge but I did better than I thought I could and I'm happy with the way both builds are turning out.

Regards Splash

Sir T wrote:Guys,

We have two days left and whilst some builds seem to have stalled a bit, there are a few of you that appear to be getting close to finishing. Do any of you think you might need a short extension to get it finished?

There are some great builds going on - it'd be really nice to see a few more finishes.

And while I'm at it - this has been my first stint as GBL, and as I have a couple more GB's coming up any feedback you may have on anything I could improve on next time would be appriciated.

Cheers

Stuart
I'd like a few days, I'd rather not rush the Huey's paint work.

Hi Guys,

Last day! :frown: and so far David and Chris have asked for an extension, and after discussing it with David I'd say we'll go until the end of the weekend.

If anyone else would like one let me know.

Cheers

Hi Splash,

thanks and no worries, I hope you enjoy your holiday. It's a shame you can't finish them in time, but as it is I'm amazed at how far you got with them anyway! Looking forward to seeing pictures of them when you do get them finished however.

Cheers

I can get it done by Monday, maybe sooner.

Had a little arthritis attack last night and that stopped me a bit.
