The Fletcher is finally done. I have now fulfilled my commitment to the Group Build, just a little late.

Thanks Matt,

Well disaster struck yesterday morning when I put a flat coat on the Fletcher. The flat coat turned white, so I started repainting the ship with a brush and had got the area around the ship's numbers done when I thought about putting gloss coat over the flat coat. I picked out an area and brush painted on some gloss with great results. I then airbrushed a gloss coat on this morning.

The Fletcher is now rigged and ready for an other try at flat coating. I should have her done by the end of February.

I'm getting closer to finishing (just a little bit late, well, maybe just a littlie bit more than a little bit late) the USS Fletcher and getting my "Group Build" entry done. I need to add the rigging, flat coat, add the ship's boats and create the water and she will be done.

Congratulations,

Mark, Carl and Bob on your great builds. You deserve the accolades you have received for your builds.

My Fletcher and I will cross the finish line sometime in the future.

Congratulations, to you, too, Bob!

I'm pleasently surprised about my placement in this group build. I thought that the only way I'd win anything is if they had an award for the fastest build. I finished my Allen M. Sumner in 8 days.

Well done to all of the entrants!!

Wow!!! Really????

:woo_hoo:

I am humbled by your selection because there were so many excellent builds that were done.

I would like to thank those who made this happen and I would say that a lot of the credit goes to Niko Models. They really make a nice kit. :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks again,

Mark

Not yet! We have to go over all the models together. I'll create a thread congratulating 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize as soon as the judging is complete. Please bare with us as at least I have an extremely busy schedule and usually only get online around midnight (EST). :thumbs_up_1:

drdoom,

Thanks for this second chance to submit photos for this Group Build. I didn't realize that we had to submit pics separately from this forum. I have sent an email, to you, with the photos of my entry.

I have received your entry. For those other builders that question why I'd like photos sent to my email, it's because I feel it's unfair to judge from photos that may have been hastily taken. This also allows me to judge from the photos you feel are the most outstanding of your model! :thumbs_up_1:
