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!

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,

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

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!

Des rekindled my interest in WWI aviation and now you've motivated me to actually produce something. Thank you!!

I haven't touched anything WWI in a year or maybe more. I definitely set aside time and space. Looking forward to February :)

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...
