Barring accidents, that would turn four DNFs into completions on my end. Even an extension of only 24 hours would do so for three out of those four. Guess that means I'm in favourfredk wrote:It looks to me a few could do with some extra time.
How does shifting the end time to end of Monday 6th sound?
An extra 48 hours.
No time to waste
mmm, don't tell anyone....but even though we say end of Monday, it'll take a few more days past that till the GB is wrapped up and locked down. One or two finishes might just scrape in under the wire before then,TeeELL wrote:It seems that my 2 week vacation plus the pre-holiday decals disaster has put me well and truly behind schedule. It doesn't help that my weekends are not available for modelling. My Meteor NF11 needs a few more decals to be applied, final coat of matt varnish, undercarriage and doors affixed and aerialsnd pitot tube added. I cannot see any way of completing before Wednesday (I have other 'grown-up' stuff to do as well :-( ).
). I'm afraid it's a no go for finishing the Halifax, paint just taking ages to dry. Mum suggested the old hair dryer idea which was a good one, but there was still too much to do and trying to paint with other areas drying was causing messy bits to appear. Close but will have to finish outside of the GB.MarkyM607 wrote:I couldn't get the Halifax done yesterday, too much painting and therefore sticky parts of the model to avoid touching!!. I have been out most of today at the Peterborough Model Show so no work today. Might get some done tomorrow.....

Did Not Finish. Borrowed from, or at least also used in, some sports events.- what means "DNF": damn, not finished? maybe?
There are quite a few people here for whom English is rather clearly a foreign language. It may take a bit of effort at times to read their posts, but (speaking for myself) that's part of the charm of international fora. Bring them over, we won't bite, and we'll appreciate their contributions.I hope next time, I can convince some people from my club, to join in, too, but most hesitate to write on an English speaking forum...
Actually, your guess probably expresses the thought pretty wellrob_van_riel wrote:Did Not Finish. Borrowed from, or at least also used in, some sports events.Crashpilot wrote:- what means "DNF": damn, not finished? maybe?
Rob is right. Although primarily an English-writing forum, this is a friendly forum and modeling is the common bond. Members have always shown the ability and willingness to work around language differences.rob_van_riel wrote:There are quite a few people here for whom English is rather clearly a foreign language.
