I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to John for leading this brillient GB, I really enjoyed the concept of an open GB with tight dimensional constraints.

The constant laser threat hanging over your head if you built outside the agreed boundaries focused me to think out of the box and try to fit a quart into a pint pot.

Looking at the number of starts, completions and active comments on every thread, I would class this as a highly successful GB and one we should re-visit at a later date.

Cheers again John

Regards Splash

I completely agree with Splash.

This has been a great GB and it's been really entertaining to see what people have come up. The level of workmanship has been brilliant.

We should do this one again!

Cheers

Stuart

Yup, we've had a lot of very good builds here. I have another lined up for next year

Hear hear for what booth Splash and Sir T have said.

I think we have all not only enjoyed this GB but learned to think of new ways to show our builds inside tight physical constraints.
I will certainly look forward to doing this again and would hope that, like the Secret Santa GB it becomes an annual feature and tradition on the UAMF

Ditto all of the above. I always get a greater sense of achievement from making something 'Left field' and everyone who has contributed to this has shown great imagination and skill. Hopefully there will be more imagination stretching excercises!

I've been amazed by the range of subjects - great stuff all around.

[JohnRatzenberger]

Getting down to the wire; we are up to 17 completions, with a few great last-day finishes.

agree with the above sentiments.. great range of ideas, subjects and styles. And no 1/144 aircraft!

Only because my 'Dave Gilmour playing 'The Wall' live with Stuka model' got bumped out by David Bowies passing, and I couldn't get a 1/144 Me 262 to do the Blue Oyster Cult 'Secret Treaties' album cover!

Sorry John, my bad. Posted now, and I agree wholeheartedly with the others, a great idea, some cracking builds and the opportunity to get the old grey cells working on how to squeeze it all in. Same again next year?

Next time, PT.

I couldn't source a 1/44 Schwalbe either.. Had a CD plan for that, too.

[splash]

Is this a record? Everyone who started the GB finished on time.

[JohnRatzenberger]

Splash, I'm not sure about a record, but you are correct ...
folks, we have 100% complete on-time, no extensions
:
You all, every one, deserve a round of applause (and/or ) for the very creative and exciting scenes you have portayed and for the high quality of your work.

I thank you all very much for your participation. I'll leave this here a few days to get the stray pix and for the celebration.

And please, I only honcho'd this - the original idea came from Sit T[/] and splash., they deserve all the credit.

All done. Thanks everybody. Gotta say compared to some of the other models and dioramas, my effort seems a bit tame. A car on a plastic road But who doesn't like a six wheeled Mercedes eh?

I hope there will be a next time.......
After all, I have a spare Pitt's Special to use up now!

Great result all round folks, thanks for your company
