Good news - I'm off work this week so loads of time for a Blitz; bad news - the minute my leave form hit the admin In-Tray at work last Friday I came down with man-flu. I'm hoping I'll feel well enough to have a crack at one by Friday. Subject not known yet as I'm too ill to look for one in the stash at the moment. :cry:

5 days gone already
Not too many taking part ......... yet
I think everyone is over in the Matchbox room
No doubt we'll see more Blitzes when a few Matchbox kits are completed

I haven't started anything yet but what I start today will be a 2 parter due to waiting for a bulk order of Vallejo Model Air.

Just a quick question folks.
Is it possible for me to do the first 12 hours of each build(in my case 3 kits), then when I get my paints finish them off one by one in a second 12 hour session? If that makes sense?
So each kit has been finished in 24 hours just broken up.

If I understand the question you can divide each kit build into two twelve hour blocks with preferred no more than a 12 hour break in the build cycle. So with each start you could go a full 24 or work 12 take no more than 12 off and finish in 12.

Clear as mud right? The rules are page one with jRatz's intro.

Today is the 19th.
Over half the build time gone already.
Remember folks [and this includes me] this is February - the shortest month thus this GB is shorter than usual with just over one week left to schedule and complete your Blitzbuild

Well folks with Philip's last minute effort let's wrap this up. I would like to thank all who played along and for Fred for backing me up. Good blitzbuilds, good music and good food. Yes it had it all.

Cheers everyone

Thanks for running this GB, it was most enjoyable.
