Having started 18 days late, then having discovered that the original kit I started with was so nearly unbuildable that I had to re-cast the project into something much more complicated, then having been stalled by real world problems and distracted by internet drama, then having foolishly started on another 'simple' model for another GB elsewhere, I wouldn't have dared to ask for an extension, but I would just like to register how pleased I am that somebody else has... ;)

I too am glad someone else has asked for an extension.
Not that I need one of course.  No, no, no, I am glad on everyone else's behalf.
I certainly didn't hit a snag today with the Sky Pirate Kawanishi that requires a redesign of the flying bridge...

The Combined Moderators have been in deep discussion over this vexed problem much of the night, despite one of the aforesaid Moderators having a streaming cold and sneezing ten times per minute.

We have decided that the previously applied for 2 week extension will be GRANTED!

You beat me to it.  ;D

Shall we have a countdown toward noon on the 15th GMT, which will be the end of the GB for anyone building in Hawaii or the Aluetians?  ;D

So if I started my build on Western Samoa, and paddled my dugout canoe to American Samoa and finished there, I could get an extra day of build time..... ;D

I was thinking the Diomede Islands might be closer together, but my paint might freeze....

Yes, you could indeed.

We'll await seeing the build with great interest.  ;)

Yup  ;D :thumbsup:

I've actually done that trip and it's amazing the difference so relatively few miles make. It's almost like travelling back in time (I did American S to Western S) they really are chalk and cheese.
