    They can be from just a few pieces started to almost complete as I have a revell 1/32 tornado that just needs paint work finishing and decals that I will be entering.

      Thanks for that Peter :thumb2: ,
      That suits me fine.... i think,for my first entry, i`ll resurrect my Tamiya Valentine,i haven`t touched it for 2 years,but it was mainly built up in sections,and base painted...... it`ll be nice to get it done!!:thumb2:

        I reckon that if this GB goes ahead the first post should include just how long the chosen model has languished on the shelf. No telling porkies or saying things like "oh it's been a while". The truth will set you free

          Good point Jim :thumb2: ,
          My Valentine was started and base painted in November 2018.... then for various reasons,it stalled,and then has been overlooked ever since!!:fearful:
          I look at it often and think,"I`ll get around to that one eventually"!!:astonished:
          This thread,if it takes off,will sort that one out!!

            I intend to complete one (possibly two) of my dust-covered Bergepanthers - they've been hanging around for 30 and 24 months respectively due to frustration with the overly fussy track construction. Once I get over that mental block it should, hopefully, be plain sailing!

                It's great such a brilliant response to Peter's idea. I, unfortunately, only build one at a time, so no shelf of doom candidates from me.

                  I think I last looked at my WIP TD Co. in June of 2018 & last worked on it in 2015 so that would be my choice as I should complete the Sherman Co. before the GB begins.

                      My prime candidate is an SKDFZ 263 that I started before I even joined the old milmod forum….it must be six years old at least…..I lost one of the rear hatch doors and shelved it as a fit of pique. It is partly painted so will be a relatively quick complete, but will involve some remedial repair work due to age….. I’ve just never got around to it and this will get it off the shelf.

                          "...if he cries let him go eenie meenie mynie mo." Ok I think I have just the candidate...the M-18 Hellcat. Six months ought to do it.

                          Cheers,
                          Richard

                            I am now going to contact the relevant authorities to get this one set up for the beginning of September and ending on the end of march 2022 if that's OK with everyone.
