Superb job! Well done, you should be proud.
Thank you Dude 2! I am very honored and thank the committee with a round of cold ones from me...
Thank you Jim, Jimbo, or Jigs (choose one)! I'm also glad I didn't become a patient in the rubber room too...An excellent result. A tribute to your patience and skills.
Thank you Ron! Funny thing is, after our flying fish chat, your idea of 'who cares' made me do a deep think through and you were right. Just build it and have fun...And it worked...A well deserved 'Gong' for a beautiful model.
Very well done, Allen!
Ron
Thanks Tim! I still can't believe it...Great stuff. Well deserved I’d say
Thank you too Andy! I do wish I had your paint skills though. Could you please bottle some up and send it to me, TIA...Amazing and inspirational!
Thanks Steve! Totally unexpected, to say the least...Well deserved rewards - congratulations mate!
Steve
Thanks too Doug! Actually, the propeller finish was an accident, but the coat of clear yellow/clear orange made it work. I can't remember how I did it though...A well deserved gong and a dogs. Blimey!!
I just love that propellor - awfully realistic.
Very well done Allen.
Doug
Thanks so much Boss! The fig was a trip as the dog is cast on his left arm. I also didn't paint the buttons, give him a wash and finish painting the (supposed to be) Collie...Allen my friend, that is exquisite. Very worthy of the gong. It just looks fantastic. Nice touch with the figures.
Very well done Sir.
Thanks Fred! One day, before I go tits up, I'll be able to paint figs as good as you did on your fuselages...Stunning, Allen, stunning. Many congratulations on the well deserved awards too, my friend.
Thank you (Noah) Garry! I think I've finally stopped shaking in my knees from hearing my name called out...Wow Allen, congratulations.
Well worth the accolades in my opinion.
Thanks so much Ian! Your GB was a great thing and I did finish it on time. Amazing!!!Fantastic work Allen, and well worthy of the gong. Loved watching your build thread of it.
Also many thanks for making the GB possible.
Thank you too John! I have to admit there were a lot of models in the comp that looked much better than mine and didn't win...Very, very good. A stunning looking model, Allen. Definitely a worthy medal winner. And a "dog's".
John.
Thanks too Dave! Maybe deserved, but my wallet didn't deserve the beating it took at the vendor stands...Beautiful - and a well-deserved prize.
Thank you Jakko! It's a shame you didn't come to the show...Very good-looking model, and congratulations on the award
Thank you too Joe! It totally blew me away and I never did get a cold one to celebrate...Congrats on that silver Mr D. That’s spectacular
Thank you kindly Chris! I do think they did the judging with the lights turned off though...That's a great result. And even better that someone beyond us here has recognised that!
Thank you Mark! It was a crazy Mojo booster for sure. Now I don't know what to even build...A fantastic result Allen, what an ego boost and much deserved too
Thank you much Steve! I hope you are doing well and all is okay. I miss your figure painting...wow, and well done on the award
You crazy Tony! Funny thing is, I only drank 5 cold ones the whole weekend and they were with dinner. Nah, the medals are put away for now inside a display case I put the Halberstadt dio into. I'm afraid it would be a cold day in hell before I attempt masked lozenge camo. Thanks Buddy!!!Beautiful work allen , its a first class build . Its been great watching this come together , in my eyes its worthy of a gold gong . The rail car and dock section are superb finishing touches as is the figure and his amorous dog ! Youve definitely earned a few cold ones , you can sit having a beer with your medal round your neck ( I bet youve slept with it under your pillow ! ) looking forward to the next WNW job ( next time though we want to see masked up and painted lozenge pattern )
Prost Tony
Thank you too Steve! It's a strange feeling as contests aren't realy my thing. Free entry helped, I guess...Superb job! Well done, you should be proud.
Thanks Bro! I gotta try and keep up with you and your great work. It ain't easy Paul...Superb mate that is a beautiful build.
I didn’t know there was one (I don’t really keep up to date with them anyway) and I suspect it would probably be unreachable by public transport anyway …Thank you Jakko! It's a shame you didn't come to the show...
A likely story! More likely sleeping off the after-effects of celebrating your recent well-deserved awards!Sorry, I had to rest my fingers for a few days so I could respond to your wonderful posts. Old age thing I guess and playing ketchup here too. So here goes and please excuse the broken record,
It is pretty far from you Jakko and probably a long train ride. We only go to a few shows a year. One is close by and the others are a 3-6 hour drive away...I didn’t know there was one (I don’t really keep up to date with them anyway) and I suspect it would probably be unreachable by public transport anyway …
Actually Pete, I only drank a few cold ones Sunday night when I got home!!! And sometimes I do get authoritis in my fingers when I type too...Thanks Buddy...A likely story! More likely sleeping off the after-effects of celebrating your recent well-deserved awards!
