Graham, WIP pics are more than welcome.  In fact most of use enjoy seeing them.  Most of all lets post the end photo and I'll try and post them to the front page Like we say in my other hobby, "Relax and have a home brew"

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.

Regards,

Jeff

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

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.

Cheers,

Roy - no where near as nice of the kit you are building, but for a $9.00 Revell kit I am Happy with it.

Charles your on the list.  I hate to say this but I have to go and cook for the family, yes an excuse I'll check back later and catch up with the other post.

THanks, Roy.

One of my favorite Steven Wright lines is: "I procratinate so much that I got a birth mark when I was eight".

Managed to put something together tonight.  Background is courtesy or Sean.

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:

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

HOLY CRIPES Summit, you wernt kidding!!  OK I`m in. I have a Trump F105D I started Feb 08. About 70% done. I`ll see if I can finish this on time. I have 2 other GB`s going on, and I might just have one more for this come the end of January!..........Harv

Dave, that is too cool!  I'm not having any luck with photoshop, but I really like your idea!  I vote we go with this one!

Cheers,

Ok by me but it makes me ask the question...., Is constipation really procrastination?  I bet if Bondo was here he could tell me.

Sean, I think yours looks great.  I keep looking at that kit.  Thinking this will be a test bed for panel scribing and some other things I want to try.  Well done

Bill, Aaron and Harvey, welcome to the No More Excuces GB.  Great to have you guys.  Remember the start date is 15 Dec, that is if you want to start on that day

Matt, your stuff looks great  I have the Revell/Monogram Huey in my stash.  How did it go thogether?

Bill, Alex was right.  If your build belongs to an active GB hold off on it.  If the GB is over or has died off, then by all means bring them in.  What scale is the AN-12?

Harvey, the 105 looks great, BTW what scale is it?

Dave, I love the badge  My votes for it also.

According to the rules on page one, as long as the kit isn't from a Group Build that is still "active" then the kit qualifies.  Most of my builds for this GB are from GBs I ran out of time on due to over commitment and life getting in the way.

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Helldiver - Battle of the Atlantic
Hasegawa P-38F - South Pacific GB
Pro-modeller Ju 88 - Bombergruppe GB
Tamiya 1/35 Semovente - Light tanks GB
Tamiya 1/48 Bf 109E7 - Battle of the Meditteranean
Dragon 1/35 Elefant - Elefant GB

oh, and one I forgot - Revell 1/48 Me 410 for a Luftwaffe GB, can't even remember what it was now.  LOL

Roy,

From what I remember, the Huey kit went together ok, I remember the windscreen being a bit thick and a chore to get in.  It is a bit of a tail sitter so you should add a bit of weight to the nose.  The Decals are very thick and took a bunch of setting agent to get them to conform to any surface.  It is a typical older revell/monogram kit.  If you take your time and and have some patience it will turn out nicely.

I built this one rather quickly back in the fall of 06, and it has been sitting on my shelf looking as it is in the picture.

 Matt

Matt, yea I notice the decals are on the thick side.  I have an old Eduard PE set for it plus some Super Scale decals.  Some day I'll get around to it.

Do you fly or crew blackhawks?  One of my younger brothers is a W4 and have been flying for 18 years now.  He just finished fixed wing school in AL. 

Just wondering.
