As you know, the Defence of the Reich GB closes on Friday. However, for a couple of reasons, which I'll explain in a moment, there is an opportunity for some of you to gain a little more time in which to finalise your entries.
There are two reasons for this. First, at the moment, I'm having severe problems with Internet connectivity, due to a fault in the local region connections with my mobile broadband provider. I am having to run on 2G at the moment, which has a VERY low rate, and is slower than me trying to walk! Even this slow service is dropping out occasionally, which means I am behind with everything. Consequently, it is going to take me longer than anticipated to view and judge all of the entries and, of course, communication to and from the other judges may also be affected.
It is also apparent that some of you have not quite finished your model(s).
Therefore, a small amount of leeway is possible.
If you are in a position where your model(s) are almost finished, but lacking the finishing touches that might prevent you from posting the final pictures, then don't worry. I suggest that you get as far as you can by Midnight (GMT) on Friday, then post the set of pics, but add a note that the final pics of the totally finished model can be posted by approximately mid-day (GMT) on Sunday, 10th May.
This will not only allow those who are not quite finished to (perhaps) be able to finish, but it will also give me more time to complete my part of the judging, if the 'net connection at my end is still playing games.
Now, on to the 'other' judging. Please have a look at the post in the 'Basic' section, describing the Members votes.
As you will no doubt remember, I am providing another prize, a small print from one of my paintings, to the member whos model is judged 'Best of Show' by the MEMBERS. This is totally independent of the judges scores.
You can cast your vote in a poll that will be posted by the weekend, but please remember, you can only vote for ONE model, and it can't be your own! If you wish to include those models entered by existing judges (for this GB), then by all means do so, but I am excluding my models from this, for obvious reasons!
Please take this opportunity to show your appreciation for your fellow modellers and members, and thank you all once again for your enthusiasm and participation.
Terry.
