arnobiz Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It was a great GB, thanks for hosting it Dave! Funny that 3 entries were VAW-115 Hawkeyes, but then this rotodome scheme is so cool :) Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvin20 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It was indeed a great and fun GB. Looking forward to the next GB. QT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for organising the group build, David. It was fun and some excellent builds have come out of it. What a range of aircraft got turned out of the Iron Works. If you do another Grumman group build in about 5 years time, I may even get my damn Tomcat out and finish it!

dnl42 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I am very late getting the raffle together. Completely my fault. I've been working long hours 7 days a week all of January, but that's not an excuse. I am getting the raffle put together now. I will put out the details in a couple of days. Thank you.

dnl42 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Grumman Iron Works Group Build Prizes There were 14 builders of 20 models. To honor all the outstanding work, each builder of a completed model except myself will receive a prize. I generated the following ordering based on numerical manipulations of your usernames. The ordering is: Litvyak arnobiz rightwinger26 Alcricket Mike C marvin20 pkrasna Spectre711 Ian Cooper martin_sam_2000 phantom Tom G kg4kpg The significance of the ordering is as follows: Litvyak can choose a prize from Caracal Models, Fightertown Decals or A.M.U.R.Reaver. arnobiz, rightwinger26, Alcricket, and Mike C can choose a prize from Caracal Models. marvin20, pkrasna, Spectre711, and Ian Cooper can choose a decal sheet from Fightertown Decals martin_sam_2000, phantom, Tom G, and kg4kpg can choose a prize from A.M.U.R.Reaver. PLEASE PM ME with your choice and snail mail address by Feb 27th! Please choose a currently available, shipping, product. I will collect the prizes from the sponsors and forward them to you. [Edit: Added a request to slect a currently available, shipping product.] For those interested, here is the program I used to generate the ordering: #!/usr/bin/perl # my %names; while (<>) { $n = (split /,/)[0]; next if $n =~ /David/; $v = 0; $v += ord( $_ ) foreach (split //,crypt( $n, 42 )); $names{$n} = $v%41; } print "$_\n" foreach sort { $names{$a} <=> $names{$b} } keys %names; 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything; 41 is the largest prime less than 42; the sponsor ordering is from my GB banner.
