Good work chaps, keep it up.

Hope to be adding to the red list soon Fred, sorry I have not had much time for this GB but life keeps throwing curve balls at me. I have just spent a happy hour catching up on the finished builds so far and there are some real crackers there. Well done one and all so far.

Life happens, [Forest Gump used a different 4 letter word]. There are some real cracker builds and I hope you can add at least one more, or both, to the gallery.

Two days left chaps.
Do I need to ask for a time extension of a couple more days for anyone?

I would definitely benefit from few days extension. Every time the bench is warmed up something else is calling thus it is going with usual glacial pace. I probably am going to be good by 4th.

One of the more enjoyable GB's, with quite an eclectic collection of models. Thanks to Fred for looking after us on this one, and for suggesting it in the first place. Same again next year?

Well, thanks for the nice words chaps. But its you who chose your country and built all the models. I just egged you along.

Next year? Maybe. With a sting in the tail - we don't do the countries we did this time, :twisted:

By my reckoning we are just waiting on jssel / Kenya

So far the stats look like; 23 names, to do 34 countries. 22 modellers started.
Subjects;
25 countries finished so far. 2 DNS [1 was a double entry], 7 DNF
