Mav,

GB official finish time is 2359(L) tonight. However, Jratz is the one who will lock this and he normally doesn't do it on the minute, so I reckon you'll be OK sneaking it in a bit after. ;-)

regards,

Martin

Woohoo I finally did it!
This is my first ever model that is part of a GB complete!
I kept one thing quiet though and that was the mouth and eyes.
I have enjoyed being part of this GB so much, Thank you to all who ran it and I hope for another What If GB very soon!
