"going big" GB feler
Posted by Theuns on Monday, November 3, 2014 4:40 AM

In stark contrast to the 1/144 and 1/72 scale GB's going on, would there be interest in a G B dedicated to any scale larger than 1/48? 

I have a few 1/32 kits that have been waiting for a reason to build LOL

Any subject, be it Fixed or rotor wing.

Start let's say now for those who would like to, and since these kits usually take some time lets say untill 1 Nov 2015.

Crossovers elcome

Kits of less than 30% completed welcome

What say you guys?

There's that 1/24 Typhoon to be built one day, so I'm interested.

Ooh that will be a cool one Tom!

I have a 1/32 Tam P-51 and 1/32 Trumpeter F-4u that "needs" a good excuse to get going.

Then there is my 1/24 JU 87 aswell LOL

I'm a SERIOUS glutton for punishment, but I will be building a 1/32 Bf 109E for the 109 build. I could crossover with that one.

It's a 70's Hasegawa kit, so there not much to it, nice detail but nuthin fancy.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I could be on board with a 1/32 Revell F4E or the same scale RF4C when I pick one up.  Could do one of each for this one and next years Berny build.  Would be OOB.

I"m getting ready to start a 1/32 Revell Bf-109G6 for the 109 GB, but I could crossover with that one.

Since all WnW kits are 1/32,  I'll have no problem finding an entry for this GB. Wink

You can count me in.  Yes

How do group builds work?  I am going to make a 1/32 Mig 3, but I just started a thread about that :-)

would that include 1/35 helos? i have a pair of BLACKHAWKs and might be interested. oh and a 1/32 ME-110 but that would not be a good first plane build.

OK cool, it seems there is a little fire in the  belly of this potential gb :-)

I would say any scale that is larger than the standard 1/48 stuff. That is usually 1/35, 1/32, 1/24 ect.

Helos are very welcome, WNW welcome, stuff less than lets say 1/4 complete welcome, crossovers wellcome....heck almost anything in that scale wellcome.

Not just aircraft, if you want to do armour, cars bikes whatever....must just fit the scale.

Shall we say 1 Feb 2015 to 31 Jan 2016, will that suite you guys?

As for the GB, it is basically just a bunch of builders who get together to do a "common" theme build.

We share progress pix ext, no real rivet counting, just fun.

My Skyhawk is at about the 20% point I would estimate... Cockpit is assembled and fuselage halves glued together... No further work done... There are still lots of work left to go... Your call on how much I have done is too much if this GB is a go.

Sounds like it can work, lets say up to the point that the fuse is closed up I recon will work, so toss it in the ring!

Seems that there is some interest, so I will go ahead and post the GB in the GB section, please go sign up there lads.
