Definition: Any model - aircraft, AFV, spacecraft, ship, whatever - you started with all good intentions but, for reasons beyond your control (!), ended up incomplete and gathering dust in a corner somewhere.

Rules: I think the tried and tested arrangement we are using for the...

Keeping very shtum for now (name, rank and serial number only, thank you) but I think I'll throw my Shetland into the ring when the GB ends. Or perhaps my Valiant.

For me, Group Builds have been nothing if not déjà vu in terms of completions or, should I say, lack thereof. I won’t even dare list those builds that started life in a GB and ended up on the dreaded Shelf of Shame. The was another addition to this litany of failures. Unlike...

There are two schools of thought regarding the sole Me262A-1a/U4 prototype, one opting for a single upper colour on the fuselage, the other for a dual-colour approach. Wartime photos before and after capture by US forces support the latter, an extension of the splinter pattern...

Oh the shame.

I do solemnly hereby commit to completing this within the stipulated 12 weeks, your honour. Midnight on Tuesday 9 March is my allocated deadline.

Drastic tactics. This has sat shamefully neglected in this state since 2016. I started it when living in Africa...

That's really kind Mike but I somehow managed to find the parts last night - great success! They were in a plastic toolchest drawer with some miscellaneous Beaufighter and Valiant pieces... well, obviously.

So full steam ahead - thank you for your offer though, it is very good...

Another model that didn’t make it to completion by the end of a Group Build … bit of a pattern, I’m afraid. This one stalled early, thanks to the absence of suitable struts for the floats.

Upon Peter Hawkins' suggestion, I did order and receive...

Still committed to eventually finishing this one, despite the news that F-Toys will be releasing the Ar196 in the not-too-distant.

This is to be a twin of the completed one on the left.

Looking back through my photos, I find that I finished the first one and started the second just after Christmas, 2012!

I meant the painting showcase. I think Merlin's is the only build thread on here? I had a looksee when I got a bit stuck on mine. Yours is stunning, though. Mine is the triphibian one. Very colourful and a lot of masking to be done some day. Kind of done as much as I can right...
