My 262 from GB11 has just migrated to the Shelf of Shame and it won’t have escaped those Group Build regulars that I only finished one of my two GB9 Cold War entries, too. I did at least get the underside of the Hun sprayed with the Hataka C039 USAF Camouflage Gray (FS36622)...

With the closure of the RAF GB, I've reluctantly moved yet another of my Group Build entries onto the dreaded Shelf. This is where I'm at ...

Note: This is a rebuilt thread. During the transfer from the Shelf of Shame folder to the Off the Shelf folder, everything was lost. Have absolutely no idea why. :cry:

Groundhog Day. The prospect of me finishing all my entries during Group Builds is as likely as Donald Trump...

And then there were two from GB7.

Really, this would have been squared away some time ago if the Amodel decals hadn’t self-destructed. I have done artwork for the various decals and may see how they go on work’s laser....

The other half of the adversarial pairing of my failed attempt to contribute to Group Build 4 way back when, the . Whilst I had some fit issues with the two Spits, the Zero went together beautifully. Top marks again, Mr Sweet. Having said that, I got no further than I did with...

Something very odd happened when I moved this thread to the Finished Entries folder ... the lot disappeared! With nothing short of reprogramming a swag of SQL code, I couldn't recover it even in my role as an Administrator. Fortunately, I managed to scroll back to view the...

Not quite sure when I started this but it's been at least a couple of years. In any event, here's my finished MiG-15. I tried to add the radio wire but ran into difficulties. I need to figure out the best way to go from fin-to-fuselage. I drilled a hole in the fuselage but...

AND lastly my Super detailed Beaufort has also been languishing in the clutter on the workbench since February, see this thread

One antenna broken off and replaced during this time.
Waiting for suitable decals (why is it that we have so may issues with decals!?).
The end...

OK, let me confess here. There was a thread created back in January 2016 covering this Shelf of Shamer, to which Peter Hawkins had commented. Tonight, after finally securing the decals required, this refinish was finally completed. Consequently, I moved the thread from the...

This one was started during . Unfortunately, by the cessation of the Build, it was still sitting in the cabinet bereft of decals.

Those decals duly arrived some time ago but, with multiple projects on the go (mainly for the Over the Wet Stuff and...

I've had this one on the shelf for a while - clearing the decks ahead of the group build!

Hi guys,

These have been on the shelf since 2012 - just finished a couple of weeks ago.

The kit has subtle surface detail and fully detailed interior - including a seat and turbine blade inserts.

The wing fences were quite thick so were replaced with sheet styrene. The nose...

OK, the final model in my opening salvo for the Shelf is also the longest non-completion in my personal history of modelling. I bought this Airalex resin kit from Alex Trant himself way back in 2008. It was the first resin kit I had ever attempted and, looking at Alex's own...

What can I say!
This is from May and like the Beaufort, Arado and Hs126 has cluttered up the workspace.
I have been putting off opening up the nacelles for the landing gear and making the appropriate box for it to sit in. However, I have crossed one hurdle in that I have found a...

Now this seemed a good idea at the time. I had a spare Storch from the long-OOP Takara World Tank Museum Volume 3, the one with white upper surfaces and hellblau undersides.

This item has languished for a few months waiting on new paints and then new weathering paints.
It may not even be suitable for putting here as I have done a lot of work on it this weekend and the end is in site!
So I have had the floats done with PE attached sitting on my...

This item has been languishing since June of this year as per this thread along with the Arado 196.

Again, I have managed to do a fair bit of work on it recently and expect to finish it in the next week (or so). So I feel a little guilty putting it up knowing it should (will)...
