Weekend Madness GB: NOVEMBER 29-30th 2008

I'm down for this. Maybe post what you have so far with the sprues to get an idea of what is left. Maybe set a certain number to finish?, I.E., I have 5 unfinished kits but I can finish 3 in the next 2 months sort of thing or whatever number. Just tossing ideas out there. Maybe call it "The No More Excuses" GB...

Regards,

Jeff

I like that! 

I'll add that to what I have.  I'll try and start it this week, perhaps Tuesday.  The start date?  Ideas?

I'm off to watch "Christmas Vacation" with the family

Timeless Classic, that and a "Christmas Story" are the only movies we watch that pertains to the holiday anymore.

Dave - yep thats an old original BV141, I have another hidden around here somewhere. 

Roy - I like an Start when you cant date , maybe have a deadline say something of Jan 10 to keep it in order ?  I just want to keep motivated and finish these kits up. If I was to wait I may be inclined to start anothe "Great Project" then never get back to them. Thats just me though , I cant vouch for the other "procrastinators" out there

I thought it started Thanksgiving weekend? Why so serious?

Should I start one now and leave it to finish later?

Time length would have the deciding factor on the build I fear.

I think someone should have a "Finish the Un~Finished Build".  I was lurking around and found 12 aircraft kits in various stages of being built. Most of all of these were shelved due to not having a certain paint color...  I have no excuses now not to finish them, my booth now exhausts outside without the window, I have a new bench with ample work area, paints have been restocked - Well I have decided I want to get as many of the Dirty Dozen finished before the New Year rolls around.. Oooo... is that a Bv 141 on your bench?!?!?!  Of course it is.  I've been wanting to build one of those for a long time and I hear Airfix is going to re-issue it sometime soon.

Ive got the HPM 1/48th version. Looking forward to its turn at the bench

...Guy

Smeagol, What id do is let it go off as much as you can afford (Timescale?) Give it a light wetsand, then touch in with the airbrush. Should be fairly invisible. And in future...where gloves. I live in the things when modelling. The surgical tpe. Big box, cheap as chips.

I have been trying to find one for sometime now. 

No, as a matter of a fact, I read his last post over in tools on the weekend .Could be work has him busy or  he has been a victim of that really Nasty PC Virus floating around

Whatever I hope it is nothing Bad .  Alex  check in if your reading !

Could it be he is AWOL with the Bikini Girls 

Since I came up with the name, I demand 50% of all royalties from the title. Roy, I'll have my people call your people to iron out all the details...

Jeff

Jeff, yes thank you for the name.  Take your time having your people call my people  Now go sigh up, when you have time

Remember, put off today what you can do tomorrow, that should be our theme.

I'm alive, more or less...We had a major surprise at work that had to be dealt with ASAP, so I've been a little busy.  Let's just say that its only Tuesday afternoon (right? I don't even know anymore) and I've already gotten enough hours to be done for the week.  Ugh.  

On the plus side, my airbrush is back, and I'd still like to do this build. I need get some rest, and I need to finish my spraybooth, but if its okay, I'd like to go through with this.  Who knows, maybe I won't even be the last one done!  

As for being AWOL with the Swedish Bikini Team...I don't think my Nordic Bikini Team girl would like that very much, would you, Azcat?

I'd also be interested in the "No Excuses" Group Build...I'll have to go check it out.

Cheers,
Alex

 How bout it's too darn hot to work and too humid to paint! Got up to about 81 today. Rain but the frogs and lizards are out and just had a praying mantis land on my shoulder! Kids are screaming cuz I refuse to turn on the AC on Dec 9th, How Christmasy is that?

Roy I got plenty to qualify I am sure like I said just depends on the time frame allowed to what I pick as some are pretty involved projects. I am flexable though so no worries!

Aaron, if the kids need to cool off they can come shovel my driveway... (Seriously, come shovel my driveway, oh, and the walkway...)

Thanks

Jeff

Aaron, I just took this looking out the back door of my Modeling Shack here in the PNW looking towards BC. Sorry its blue but it starts getting Dark around 3:pm here. Call in your kids to take a look, not cooled off yet ? Tell them to imagine they are down swimming in the river then...

Please send some of that heat up here.  We had around 6-7 inches of snow and I don't think it got over 21.  Got to love it. When it snowed only 1-2 inches they were plowing continous.  This one they didn't plow till 5am.  I was at work already.  At least I don't drive truck anymore.  Now I just have to drive to work and back.  Then I can look at the snow while at work.
