Weekend Madness GB: NOVEMBER 29-30th 2008

Darren, the Phantom is just ....Phantomic, It looks fantastic so far. You look so on top of it. I think Aaron said it best. (Whatever the heck he was on about) Also Aaron, whos David? In your signed pic. Is that your alter ego? mmmmm.. LOL

Roy, loving the P40. Ive built one of those and theyre an involved build. Your a brave man for tackling that for sure.

...Guy

Manly build, huh!

I can dig it!

I'm not sure I a make the 48th hour time limit, but they're painted!

I'll get on with the decals on the Corsair and try to find the misplaced canopy!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Nice work Azgaron!

Darren when you get some free time.... You gotta tell me the story of that base. Looks purty dern baselike. I like it. Gotta share some of those ancient secrets discovered in the druid rune cave. I hear that is where Guy found his elfs.

Free time? No worries mate, I'll do a walk through when this GB is over. Wait till you see it when its done..........

Thanks Darren!

Anyone knows which color the rockets should have?

Cheers,

Azgaron

Well, it's four hours after deadline, and I'm off to bed! I'm almost done with the decals, and now there's only the small bits left to do! Here's how it looks right now!

I still got decals and stuff left to do on the F-117!

I'm pretty happy anyway, and I enjoyed participating in this GB, and will do it again if a new is started! Many fine builds have been done!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Right on, Azgaron! The Corsair is looking pretty good! Looks like just a few more details, and you'll be finished!

Looking forward to the Nighthawk!

Azgaron, the Corsair is looking sharp the F-117 also.

Guy, coming from you that means a lot.  I saw how fast and how well you did the 109.  Thanks

Darren my friend, looking great.  May have to order myself a base for the P-40 when it's done

Thanks Roy,

I am really looking forward to seeing more of that fantastic P-40, I can think of a few base idea's already!

Nice work Azgaron, I love that Corsair! I take my hat off to everyone here, you lads have produced some outstanding builds in such a short deadlne-well done all!

Big ditto! I am all for seeing them done. Too many works never seem to get finished of my own so any completed build is glorious!

Now to some matters at hand. Being Azgaron shows as being from Sweden a little security check into his background is required since he is building a Stealth F-117 and all that so we must ensure he has a security clearance.

A Secret pic reveals him hard at work on his builds.

Sent in the undercovers agents to keep an eye on him. Note the Swedish disguises.

 Well the only suspicous information they have turned up is when you remove the ZG from Azgaron you have the name of a rather ospicious character that is a known prankster and heart breaker. Turned out not to be an alias and our builder seems legit. That being said Well done Azgaron! Supremem work!

 Secret message to the CAG! It is time to extract the team. Here is a pocket photo for reference.

No one should be the wiser.

Here's what has been done in the first 24 hours...................

I got my Phantom built, painted and glossed-painted the weapons, made a display base and I futured the canopy.

Tomorrow, I plan to add decals,gloss again, dull coat, furnish my display base, add the weapons and paint/mount the canopy.................Phew!!

Here's how we look at end of play on day one:

See you tomorrow!!

Darren, the markings are for 11th FS/343rd FG, Aleutians, 1942.

Well I am pretty sure I have the Highest rank here (avatar) so I will go in and get'er done. Look for a full report in ~ around 168 hrs from now

Azgaron,

The Corsair is looking good, didn't know they made a drop top model!  I know you'll find the glass somewhere.  Look forward to more pics of it and the F-117.

CAG,

The Phantom is looking phabulous.  Look forward to more pics.

Kim,

Did you get more pics of the BMP?  It was looking great the last time I saw it.

The hell you will! This calls for a special extraction and I've got the wings and wheels to get the job done! 

Where did they go? They are already aboard the FAWHQ Carrier!!!!

Yessir!

Azgaron, looking great and almost done.  Son't sweat the few extra hours.  Some people (AHEM... ) around here are still working on their builds from last weekend.

Darren, The F-4 is looking great too.  Looks like your on top of things.

Who could that be

Daren, your the best CAG around there is no one that could replace you

On my P-40, it will be OD top with neutral gray bottom.  Should the line between them be hard or soft?

Sean, thanks for the info.  Right now I'm leaning somewhere in the middle.  The yellow I used is very close to the decale yellow of the nose art.  It's the little bottle of Testors flat yellow.

You know I think that little bottle is one of my favorite yellows. I still find it the most difficult color to get right with white being a close second!

 Dave? You seem busy this weekend! I bet your prepping to do that 1/72 Gato for the next weekend build!

Been very quiet here compared to last weekends insanity! Might have to send out the baywatch girls to look for survivors!

Vert quick lunchtime update from me:

All port side decals are on, just the canopy left to paint......decals are poor quality, its taking a lot of set/sol to get them to settle.

I will return!

Great looking progress here fellas!

ROy- That P-40 is coming along quite well.

Azgaron- WHat can I say?  LOVE the Corsair!   The 117 is looking great too.

Darren- A base too?  YOU'RE A MANIAC!  But, I love it!  CAn't wait to seemore pics today.
