Ahoy, mates!

FIVE more days until the official close of our first "Ship of the Quarter" contest!!

So far, only one entrant has posted a finished build...hope that you other salts will finish on time, as well!!

Official start date was May 9th, so as the rules state, July 9th, building time will end, and all photos must be uploaded for judging at this date.

Thanks for the (limited) participation, and good luck to the entrants on finishing up!

Keep Modeling!

"Build time will close on May 9th, 12:00:01 A.M."

Then the judging will begin...

Gunny,
I'll be on the other side of the state on Sat so I went and posted my build now. It's finished and there will be no more changes. This contest was a great learning experiance. One of the biggest things I've learned is time fly's and I must have been crazy thinking I could get 2 builds completed......I haven't even started on the Vosper yet........OHH well at lest I got the S-100 completed.

Yeah, I hear ya, Frank!

Two builds would not be out of the question, mate, but only if you had the luxury of unlimited modeling time, which most of us, unfortunately, do not...real life tends to cut into our hobby time, now doesn't it?!

Anyhow, you made it, congrat's, good job, and good luck!

Cheers,

I've secured the sweat pumps. It's not going to happen. I'm still planning to have Tracer finished in the next few days, but midnight tonight was more than I could make.
Good luck to you all.
