Bish,, don't forget you can apply for a 29 day extension... ! Manny says so... I seen it..!

...But seeing as those dates deffinatly count me out, i will just look in from afar.

Bish, where are you deploying to? Or are you a double-0, sworn to secrecy and addicted to martinis?

If the wife said i couldn't take part, firstly i would want to know what she was doing in my house, and second i would stab the B***H. But seeing as those dates deffinatly count me out, i will just look in from afar.

If it makes a difference, this Mojo will be following along since I've already donated some sweat and tears to this project. 229 is interesting and entertaining so it'll be neat to see what you fellows come up with.......not to mention the plane is interesting too

oddman is a 229 Groupie!

I have no idea which kit/scale yet, but I am thinking "long range escort" with my build.

Manny,

I would join the build if I had not already built it this year. I wish I would have had those pictures you have when I built my kit. They provide a pretty detailed look at the A/C. Thanks for sharing them.

ifn ya all want a name to go with my screen name.. it's Chris..

I am bidding on a 1/48 Night fighter version..

Alright, you pansies, looks like we have enough "229'rs" to get this show on the road.  Here is the list of participants I have so far:

Jester, Aaron, Gamera, Vance, Kermit, P38 and Konigwolf...plus myself, and that's 8 *MOJOs!  Cool...everyone else is a loser, especially Bish who keeps pretending he doesn't want to be in this GB when he really does...his wife just won't let him...

Okay, we have a badge (thanks to OddMan), we have 8 participants, and today is the first offical day of the build: 12-1-2010 thri 2-29-2011.  With 29 day extensions possible...

The only thing I need to know now is what you will be building...

*DISCLAIMER: the word used here is MOJO, not MO_O with an "F"...

Fantastic badge Oddman, how could anyone not want to join in this GB with a badge this awesome?

Off to beg my wife to let me join!*

*Actually I'm single but couldn't resist...

Ok ok, this just sounds like to much fun!! I'm in as soon as I talk my wife into letting me buy one on eBay........

A rubber chicken includes the critical elements of 229 in one image. 

rubber chicken? I thought it was a rubber spine device with fig leaves and oak clusters ? ? ? ..

we might need more fig leaves...

I'll be right back....

Get a rubber chicken somewhere on the badge and I'm in.

Manstein's revenge

hkshooter:

No.

Because Luft 46 stuff blows.

 

Yeah, you're right...fortunately the 229 is Luft '45 stuff and it doesn't blow...it actually flew...

I learned something. I never knew it actually flew, I thought it was only in protoype stage. Still, I'm kinda like Hans when it comes to prototypes. I can tell the GB is gonna be a hoot though. Jeff would be proud.

If I werent so overcommitted already I'd be in. It looks like an official GB now, but I do recall someone saying that it might be to broad of a subject. A possibility could be a WWII German Jet/Rocket GB. Open up to a few more subjects. I do not mean to offend anyone with this suggestion as I do find the 299 a very interesting plane.

More pics for you pansies:

Its like I'm in some kind of a group badge sweat shop......

Pffft, I think its obvious which one is better

Aww come on - I was eating when I did that! I'm just happy I didn't dribble leftover stew on the trusty ol' MacBook.

Pffft, I think its obvious which one is better

Okay, I really dig ODDMAN's first one and this one above...let's vote...of course my one vote overrules all others, but at least it will feel like a democracy for a few seconds...

...I don't even know why I was following this thread to begin with!...

What thread??

once u see that magical 229 flash across the screen......you become mesmerized... and the slow motion train wreck begins.... lol

Peresonally, i like the first one. But then as i am not in this GB and have totallty no intention of joining, i am not really here anyway.

Join the club. One minute I was innocently perusing the forums, the next I'm photoshopping some questionable group build badges for a build I won't even participate in. I don't even know why I was following this thread to begin with!
