Title: Coming Soon- the Des Delatorre Memorial Group Build Competition
Post by: Dave W on January 18, 2019, 10:45:11 AM: COMING SOON- THE DES DELATORRE MEMORIAL GROUP BUILD COMPETITION

The first anniversary of the passing of our Forum founder Des Delatorre will be marked in early February, so in Des’ memory we are going to have the biggest group build competition in the Forum’s history.

Members who are about to begin their latest WW1 build should mark their calendars for a date in February which we will announce soon.

Thanks to the kindness of several generous sponsors and supporters the GB will have an impressive prize pool of model kits and accessories.

The GB will only be open to registered members of the Forum and full details and rules will be published in February.

I don't know if I will be able to join, but I'm looking forward to see a lot of fantastic builds. I think there will be lots of BE2Cs. ;)
Bye,

Post by: eclarson on January 19, 2019, 08:38:54 AM: Count me in! I've been itching to start another WWI project so this would be perfect timing. Having just purchased a CSM Nieuport 17 Late, it's definitely a candidate but there's also a Roland C.II in my WNW stash that's been calling out to me. Decisions, decisions...

Post by: jeroen_R90S on January 26, 2019, 05:20:40 AM: Woud love to participate in Des' honour, but I'm struggling to get a model done in a year and a half... when I participate I want to know I have a reasonable chance of actually finishing within the deadline limit... I'll definately be looking in though!

Post by: Mike Norris (UK) on January 29, 2019, 08:23:58 PM: Great idea for a great man.
I've had a project in mind for a while now and it would be a fitting tribute to Des.
Whether I'd have the time to complete it - well that depends on the time frame given to the GB - hopefully I will,

Mike

Post by: andonio64 on January 29, 2019, 09:04:38 PM: Great tribute to our friend, he deserves such a celebration!
I would like to take part in it, at the moment I have the workbench completely taken by a build so it depends on the time frame for me as well.
I could join after the start if it has a long duration!
Please consider the possibility to make it a long term build so most of us will have the chance to pay this tribute.

Thanks

Antonio

Post by: IanB on January 30, 2019, 01:24:40 AM: Glad I saw this before it starts. I've been off site for a year due to relocation and WWII builds, but this will be perfect. I have already made preparations for another GB in Feb, hopefully the subject will fit and I can include it here too!

Post by: Tony Haycock on February 01, 2019, 07:58:49 PM: As I've yet actually to complete a WWI1 kit yet, I think I need to take part, even if my feeble OOB skills are pale in comparison to the experts who's work I am in envy of every day. It won't be pretty but it will at least stand a chance of being completed if there is a deadline to be met...
