I know there's a pre-positioned thread for finished builds but do we use our own 'blogs' for daily updates on our progress? E.g Librarian's Banana-1WKGB.

Just checking as I suddenly realised how close the start day is.

Best way is to start your own thread in this section. If any difficulties PM me. It would be nice to keep things in the same place but if you want to use your Blog then I can't think that's a problem.

I've sorted my kit out and yes it is resin.  :thumbsup: Quite often use a good quality early resin kit for these builds. The parts number tends to be small and the fit good (he touches all the wood in sight having just said that)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

1WGB: let the fun begin..... :party: :drink: :cheers:

Posted at 0554 you'll notice.....

Someone's starting VERY early!  :o

Ah, not so early, the Forum clock is on GMT.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

A process question... IIRC, WiP threads were welcome, and I'd like to change the usual process a bit. Am I to open a thread for the build(s  ;D) in the GBs main section, and finished item pics under the prepared post?

Ah, I see it. Should have read the former entries, too...  ;)

Still undecided as what I'm going to do. :banghead:  I've still got four on the list, two are neck and neck, one's an outside chance and another is almost out of the running unless I can find sudden inspiration of how to go about a certain part of it, if it does it'll become favourite.

I'm just going to have to take the plunge tomorrow night. :-\

The rank outsider just belted up the track and won by a length.  Off to open my thread. :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Was thinking about joining this but can't do it this week.  Already have two GB models on the go and trying to whiff one alongside (even if it would just be a change in scheme) is probably pushing me too much.

However, some great ideas ongoing so I will be watching.

Well, less than 48 hours to go, playmates.   ;D

And I doubt I'll meet the deadline - lost two days of modelling Thursday/Friday.:banghead:  A little done today, may get some late late stuff done before I go to bed.

Fantastic support for the 1WGB from everyone :thumbsup:, excellent completed builds and do see a few more being ready by bedtime tomorrow.

Brother Rheged posted this in the finished builds thread, but I moved it here as we like to keep that clear of comments.

No problems as we haven't had one for ages and conventions get forgotten

"There are several potential Whiffie   winners amongst this lot!!

(Will the Academy consider a "Best High Speed Build" category?) 

All are high class, but the snow cat is  exceptional!! "
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

philp

Don't know that the Academy is up for more categories but definitely some very Whiffie worthy builds.

So, remember to go nominate them in the appropriate thread.

A couple of photos later this evening, but midnight GMT/UTC looms and I'm sorry to say I'm out.

More from me tomorrow on the vote.

You all did very well.
Good jobs all round.  Almost wish I hadn't gone away for 2 weeks...

...almost.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
