Yeah, I think 6 months should be enough. I'm keeping the back half of the year free so I can get this one done. Dont forget to let me know when you decide on a kit, so I can put it on page one. Can anyone do something with this for a badge ? As long as it says MILITARY VETERANS GB II 2009 I'd be happy......![Big Smile [:D]](/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif) |

dupes, And here I was all excited about riding 3100 miles last year (600 miles further than the previous year). You my friend are a cycling machine! ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) wirraway, Back to the topic at hand. I would be interested in joining the group as well. I have not seen a response from you yet, but as a former carrier sailor, can I build one of the planes from a squadron that was onboard the same time as me? I do have a couple of other options being a model of the submarine that my prototype was based on, or one of my first carrier. Knowing how long I typically spend building a carrier, I would rather do something a little less time consuming. Anyway, count me in, and let me know about aircraft that served aboard with me.

dupes, I did look at the blog, and took note of those impressive spikes over all three years shown. I do not know that I will be able to outdo myself this year as I somehow herniated a disk over the holidays and just started doing some riding with the bike on a training stand this past Saturday. It was also a really big commitment that I did mostly in memory of a cousin. Anyway, with my son graduating this year, I will probably have a few things to keep me busy early in the season, but I am anxious for the weather to finally break and to hit the road.![Cool [8D]](/emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif) wirraway, Sorry for going off topic again in your build, but like dupes, I may have done my initial damage to the disk back in my Navy days when I took up power lifting.![Tongue [:P]](/emoticons/icon_smile_tongue.gif) Anyway, I am thinking that I will commit to the 1/350 scale USS Tullibee (SSN-597) kit by Yankee Model Works. I may change my mind by July though. ![Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]](/emoticons/icon_smile_swg.gif)

count me in too....although, I am not sure about what to build just yet. Could be most anything....parked my posterior on a carrier for a lovely Med cruise, and since we were there on contingency only(spec ops fun....) all I did was watch the flight ops all the time. At this point, I could pull out any one of a half dozen carrier aircraft, the boat itself, L.A or Ohio class subs, a couple helos, and most of our transport planes. I guess I'm gonna hafta look through my stash to see what I have waiting to be tackled....do we have any old A-6 guys in here?

Are crossovers from other GBs allowed? I am committed to the S.A.C. GB, (1/72 SR-71), here on FSM that will co-incide with your dates and also a 1/72 C-141A for the "Operations" GB on ARC. Darwin, O.F. ![Alien [alien]](/emoticons/icon_smile_alien.gif)

Darwin. Being an ex SAC Weenie, there would be literally dozens of aircraft you could build for this one. C'mon ! (we're not starting until July 1st anyhoo)

I'm in...I'll be doing a (really small) 1:144 Revell B-2. Spent almost 14 yrs working avionics (Bomb/Nav) on it. Why the small scale? Space! Currently stationed in Rota, Spain working C-5 and C-17's and I am afraid of building larger scale knowing I will move again in a couple of years. I'd hate to see something get broke. I am looking forward to seeing what exactly I will be able to do detail wise with it....

Paul, I'd like to join in. Probably a Monogram F-102A that I've only opened the box on and/or a F-89J that I want to start this year (both 1:48 so I can almost see what I'm doing). ![Confused [%-)]](/emoticons/icon_smile_perplexed.gif) I've worked on both as a radio/nav tech. Ken
