GBNF Group Build Prize Drawing Results


Recommended Posts

Well, folks, here is the run-down of today's Gone But Not Forgotten Raffle Prize Winners (in bold next to the prize listed)-

Please contact me by email ( rmharvster@yahoo.com ) with a snail mail address so I can get your prize sent out. Congratulations to those who have won something here - a little bonus, as the fun of building was the primary goal. Thanks to all who participated, a 'BZ' to each of you who finished (some way more than just a single entry!). I'd love to minimize trips to the post office, so the sooner I hear from you and have a good shipping address, the sooner I'll be able to get these things headed your way.

Here's some shots from the drawing this past weekend: First up, Phillip Huston, in front of his shop:

Way cool! I won!

It wouldn't have mattered if I won or not, it's all about the fun, but I'm very glad with my prize.

Thanks to the Sponsors, the GB Mods and the other participants, it was a fun first group build for me.

Email sent.

Hi

Wow, thanks. Izzy is well chuffed, both with the prize and the fact she will get post (apparently thats a big deal when your six!). I too am really grateful, mostly that you guys went to the trouble of organizing a great group build, that really inspires us to actually finish our kits. I am also over the moon with the decals, got to get a 1/48 tomcat now though (life's hard!) I will post pics of Izzy's f-16 as she builds it, I may need to help her a bit with this one, though she will probably insist she is fine on her own.

Thanks again and E-Mail sent.

Regards

Tim

Wow, I almost forgot about this. Email sent! The TA-4J decals will come in handy as I have been wanting to do a trainer Skyhawk for some time (another gone but not forgotten airplane in USN service). Thanks for doing this!

Congrats to all the winners. Like phantom, I didn't win anything either but I had no expectations of winning. A prize would have been an extra. I had fun building my Sabre, chatting with people, striking up a friendship with ALF18, learning a few things about building and looking at some might fine builds.

Well done, everyone!

Mike

Latest Update: Did the first prize mass-mailing today. If you were listed as a winner above, and sent me your snail-mail address before today, you should have received an email from me confirming I sent your prize out in the mail earlier today.

For those who had their name drawn for a prize, but whom I hadn't yet heard from, I sent follow-up PMs requesting an address to send to, just a short time ago. Those folks whom I have prizes for, but don't know where to mail them are listed below:

Please contact me by my email < rmharvster@yahoo.com > so I can get your prize out to you. Congratulations to each of you, and once again thanks to all for participating in such a great Group Build! Cheers to ThunderGrunt for organizing the build, and once more to our sponsors for their generous raffle prizes.

To AX 365 & phantom, appreciate the kind comments on the GB - sorry you didn't win; but it is great to see your input and participation - as a reminder that the prizes are just icing on the cake...the fun is in the virtual gathering to share the project together across the internet, and quite literally, around the globe...as the list of countries I mailed packages out to today attests!

Thanks again to all,

Thanks for the PM. E-mail sent this morning. I am very happy with the prize - no disappointment here. I'd like to echo AX 365 (Mike) - these GBs are a great way to share experiences, and even make new friends. Thanks for making this all possible.

Thanks for the comments, guys- Euge is a great individual, and I was happy to help him with closing out the raffle part of the group build. Pete, glad to hear the package made it to you...Hope to see that F-16 built up on-line one of these days-

Hi Rich,

Chris received his decals today and they were just what he needed and wanted. The Jolly Roger VF103 F14 decals will go well matching his 1/48 Jolly Rogers F4J and his low-vis VF84 1/72 Jolly Rogers Tomcat that he is finishing off for that GB. He and I wish to thankyou and the other GB conveners and the sponsors for the opportunity to participate.

Regards

Andrew and Chris Doppel

...Glad to hear that more prizes are finding their way to the raffle winners. Especially happy Chris' F-14 markings made it to him - always encouraging to see younger builders that are the next generation of the hobby.
