A Whiffery GB for any type of model. Simple decal changes, mild surgery or major. But all must have a story to back it up, no matter how silly or unbelievable.
The GB runs from 15 Sep through 16 Oct, and your host is FredK.

10 days gone. 1/3 of our time.
Hows everyone getting on?
I'm waaaaay behind schedule on my build

Celt; I read on BM that certain Home Bargain shops in Wales are selling Lindberg kits for only £1.99. I think the selection is decent but I'm not certain just what is on offer.

I'm set with back story and kit and parts. All I have lacking is time! Your list is a needed reminder. Thanks

Currently thinking of contributing something.

Yes, it would be a Spitfire. No, it would not be the "usual" Spitfire format. It would be something markedly different but on a similar theme.

If I can work it out, then I'll try to come in on this.

Hi folks.

I've been stuck offline for a while but wanted to take part in this. I've taken sprue shots and made a start but as the build has been ongoing for a while is it ok for me to join in?. I have a cover story in my head.

All the best

We've passed the half-way point.

The worst? the very worst?
The carpet monster will eat a vital part just minutes before the deadline and you'll not find said part until two days after you've binned the model in frustration
