Looking good. I like the touch where the "shadow" of the missing pioneer tools is on the rear deck.

Thanks chaps

Adam, that was the intention :)

I saw it somewhere else and thought, that would look really cool, seems to have worked so far ;)

Sorry Raoul, the penny didn't drop :oops:

Been a little distracted :roll:

More soon!?

Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it a super hero?

Whoosh Boom

Its the sound of another GB deadline flying by, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

100% record of not achieving a serious GB deadline :oops:

Time to pack her away, carefully, and onto the next one :roll:

She my return as a shelf Queen one day!

Looks like quick cheesy Panzer II builds are my forte :roll:

Am I ever going to be a serious MA GB builder :(

Well, I have all the elements of the next GB build purchased and researched,

And the Mojo family are with me this time

Mr Builder and Mrs washes along with Master solder and Miss AB are all present and correct :D

We just need the Grand Dame, Lady figure painter to get off her death bed and joint the party :?

She is in the attic waiting for the cold icy fingers of the grim reaper to take her away :o :lol:

I just need to get her back to the bench, and the smell of acrylic and the feel of a Winsor & Newton Series 7 size 0 brush, fresh from the wrapper
might just spark the flow of mojo back into life :oops:

A draft of the launch blog is ready with Imgur photos, roll on 010717

Better luck this time :roll:

Here's an idea: This time the extra mini GB will be called "second chances" and inolves finishing an old GB. Deal? :lol:

Sounds like a plan, Philipp ;)

Just a base wash of sepia, so a long journey through weathering, fading, pigments, grime, oil, rust, chipping and on and on and on.

I was just getting into the flow, but the next GB is on the very well tidied desk ready to roll.

Back soon?

Thanks for popping by

Time to do some figures 8-)
