WIP pics make everyone better. Usually several sets of eyes are better than just two. In fact, in the next day or so I'll post pics to show just where I stand on each build.

Alright ~ alright, sheese you guys... Roy you can scratch the Heinkel HE-11 and P40 B off the list as they are pretty much done. And beings the Official start date is not here yet...
Dave - that HE -111 is the old MPC Profile Series kit.. Not the greatest kit - but not a bad representation for the era it was manufactured
Besides if I was not working on these Shelf Sallies I would most likely crack open another kit..

Sean, since you did do them. Perhaps you could post them here for the rest of us. You know, kind of like it can be done, to steal a saying....."Just do it". Your the first of us to get pass the Procrastination, you could be our inspiration

This one is my favorite, and since this is a spinoff of weekend madness, very fitting.

I've done some work on possible badges, most of these don't shrink down well. Now, I'm leaning towards the last panel of the Calvin & Hobbes idea, with the words "No Excuses GB" stamped over it. My photoshop is acting funny, but once I get it ironed out, I'll post what I've got. Any suggestions you guys have are more than welcome, so throw 'em up here.

Cheers,
Alex

LOL...that works too...I offer up my computer services for the badge. I like this one better than anything I've got so far.

Re: No More Excuses GB

	Maybe have, "Procrastinators of the modeling world,UNITE! (tomorrow)" Or for the Calvin and Hobbes that also rocks, Could you color it in? Or would Bill Watterson file a lawsuit aginst us? It would add some interest to the badge. Since I know nothing about photoshop (not to mention computers in general) You'll have to see how they work out. "Pretty.

	Or you could do the cat and photoshop a kit on the side. I think that the badge needs a more modeling slant. Any good pics coming outta Photoshop Cardshark? "Pretty. What do we blow up first?" -Myn Donos "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

	Roy - no where near as nice of the kit you are building, but for a $9.00 Revell kit I am Happy with it. Sean "I've reached nearly fifty years of age with my system."

Re: No More Excuses GB

	I hate to pick one since I like them all. Dave's working on adding a model at the feet of the thinker. Lets pick one later Roy (Capt. Wyoroy FAAGB/USNFAWGB) John 3:16

Re: No More Excuses GB

	Sounds good to me...I'll have SWMBO take a look at my photoshop to figure out what is with it. Then, I should have some badge ideas posted later tonight. Cheers, Alex Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back In Black.

Re: No More Excuses GB

	Alright here are a few pics of the ones that I have been putting off finishing for a while now, some are worse off than others, and one only requires me to put a flat coat on it and remove the masking. And in true procrastinator fashion there are a few that I have yet to take pictures of!!! But first things first I have to clean and reorganize my room in order to even begin to work on any of these.

Re: No More Excuses GB

	OK I'm in, but this sets my teeth on edge. The requirement that there be no crossover builds eliminates all of the builds that are stagnating on the bench, since they are all previously committed to GB's. I only build for GB's, which is a good thing for me, maybe not so much for the GB's I join but I aim to finish them all! So I look at AN-12 for the Heavy Lifter GB- NO. Mavis for the IJN Rare bird GB- NO. Leaves the FROG Shackleton that was started for the (?) Modern African Wars GB before Steelrudi got carried away by the Selous Scouts. It's a beast of a build good sirs. So far I've sanded the rivets down from 1" at scale to about 1/4", haha. Got a great set of RSAAF decals, although each color is a separation as an independent film, but it allowed them to do gold as a true color. Anyone else every built a FROG kit? I have three built on the shelf, it's a chore boys but she'll be right as rain on Table Mountain. The prototype:

Re: No More Excuses GB

	Hey Bondo, I'm pretty sure Roy just doesn't want active GB kits. I've got the Emily and the Hs 123 in this one, and I know a few others also have old GB kits in. So, unless I'm completely wrong, go for it! Cheers, Alex Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back In Black.

Thank you striped one but I submit that my Mavis is "active" in the IJN GB you hosted so well. Shacky actually need a home and I hope this motivates me. Captain?

Re: No More Excuses GB

	Wow Roy! This GB has taken off! I am in as well . As far as a kit goes the exclusin of group builds narrows the choices. You can still put me down for "too many to list" I have discovered upteen Armor builds that are years old now and are just not quite finished. Mostly painting. I'm still digging to find one I'd like to see done!. Yep another excuse. CPT Aaron McNeal
