Well you should feel guilty. I am in a panic already. Having to take Xanax for the heart palpitations and anxiety paralysis

#43

THERE ARE ONLY 7 DAYS LEFT

Time to get started

#44

Sadly I feel this was directed at me. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Feeling very much behind

#45

Officially it’s now down to the Last Three Days!

Still plenty of time to stick on all the itty bitty pieces…

#46

36 hours to go… still time get the fingers stuck together…

#47

Or in Devon’s case, cut them… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Painting, painting and more painting on my project list.

#48

Finish … in 36 hours … ain’t happenin’ this year :tired_face: Oh well, it’ll get added to my list to put on Bob’s To Do thread.

A 24 hour extension to the MIK 2023 completion deadline.

You have until 0001 hours on the 7th of FEB to complete construction on your Mik 2023 build.

Is compleat anything like complete? :joy::joy::joy::joy: I know , sitting here about the only one not stressed!

#51

I believe you have a typo. Shouldn’t that be days instead of hours? :upside_down_face:

I know, wishful thinking, huh!

@Dave_Taylor Wouldn’t that be 0001 hours on the 7th of February? Not that it really matters, we all know what you mean :grin:

#52

Is that because a certain someone isn’t finished yet?

#53

NOPE! Even with the extension I will still be a DNF. It will look a bit better, but too much to do and I don’t want to mess up a good build in the end.

I realized that there were several other’s that would be able to finish with a better build in the end than just doing “something” to make the deadline.

It’s appreciated Dave. I was not going to rush it and just be a DNF myself. But I think that one extra day will be enough.

#55

Jeez you guys are making me feel really bad for doing another 1/35 building conversion since finishing my challenge, but it’s just foam-core and textured paper, no brainer background filler stuff. Took my final pictures yesterday, used the 1/35er buildings as background. I’ve always approached the challenge as a “do something fun but small enough to ensure I’ll finish” project.

Vic I started the center beam lumber car thread because I ran out of ideas for my bank, so don’t feel bad

#57

No by all means. . .please feel bad.

#58

I second that emotion, Devon. I hope they feel really, really bad :grin:

I do ! Too much time thinking leads to doing stuff that takes away from the build
