1. Have Fun!!!

2. All started projects are allowed, from one percent started to 99 percent complete. The whole point of this GB is to finish those projects you have started. We all seem to stall at different points, so a picture of where you last left off, and a description of your plans are taking you makes a logical start.

3. Any medium is welcomed - so physical models, pixels/profiles and stories (and anything else if you can think of it) are all welcome. (

4. Creativity encouraged as is collaboration.

5. Duration is 1 Dec 2015 to 31 Jan 2016.  An extension may be granted, if you feel your projects would remain incomplete without one!

6. Physical creations and pixels/stories will be judged separately.

7. Multiple entries are allowed and encouraged. This GB is supposed to get you across the finish line!! The more Finishers the better!!

Any questions are to be directed to the Moderator (GTX_Admin).

Do not forget Rule 1!
All hail the God of Frustration!!!

Sorry...I have already allocated my extensions for work purposes (I need another month or two between now and next week...).  Try asking again in mid-late Jan 2016.

 Lordy. I know I've got some mojo in a drawer...or a box...could be in the envelope of one of those old half finished vac kits...
 I'll do some looking this weekend.

There isn't enough extension in the world for my work bench.
But I'll take anything I can get.
If there is some more foul weather here and I get another day off work something might get done!

Any extension may not help me, but I'll gladly ask for one on behalf of my fellow whifers.

In fact, I may need to ask for assistance in forming a search party to locate my mojo - I haven't even sat at my bench lately, much less made progress on my pending projects...

Totally can use those two weeks.

I can't in good conscience pass off clay renders as finished entry, after all.  :-X

Hey, cut me some slacks- what looks kinda cool in concept might end up looking dull in 3D, and I have to do something when that happens......

Folks,

I was thinking we don't really need a vote here - after all, the focus was to get people to finish their projects.  Those that did are all winners in my opinion.

Please let me know if you disagree.
