WW III GB

Hi Falchimjager!

This group build looks like the perfect setting for this kit, a 1/144 Monogram set of US and USSR strategic missiles. An appropriate scenario will be generated as work ensues!

Not much detail on these but they should be good for a whole heap of trouble whenever or wherever they show up!

couldn't find a 1/48 scale T/72 that i planned  (already converted the tank crew they look nice)

Anyhoo i'm changing myself to an "apocolypse" pattern M1a2 just what that is i'll leave you guessing but just so you know there will be no t72.

Well I've made up my mind on the kit I'll build for the GB. It's the 1/72 Kotobukiya JGSDF AH Hellhound from Patlabor 2. I'm building it as a US Army AH-94A Apache II.

I have a B1-B that I'm willing to enter . . . . I've got a space shuttle also, but will it count for the build if it is painted normally?

yes

JAger, could you sub this size badge for the one on page 1? Thrawn here helped me play around with it a little.

Question, is aftermarket necessary? I plan on scratching several things on my model, but I don't have a disposible income (I'm only 15) and this recession is having quite a few negative effects on my allowance. Otherwise, sign me up for a modified F-16 (D model I believe)

of course not but it's always optional, custom scratchbuilding is fine.

Oh, ok. That makes sense. I hadn't had my coffee quota for the day when I read that originally.

I just imagined a very plain group build! LOL

Sorry about the size of the second badge if someone could resize it for me, photoflexor isn't co-operating and I don't have a decent program to resize it. Thanks.

Rules Kits can be assembled but not painted.

Any particular reason why they can't be painted? That's what kind of kills it for me.

Nice badges but they definately favor the Red Dawn angle. I never got around to joining in, but had some fun watching a similar build several years ago. Each entry not only had a story for the build but also their back story for WW3, some were fairly conventional cold war turns hot scenarios, others much more Madmax like. I've been throwing the idea of building a truck for travelling around after the zombie apocalypse. Not sure if that would work but I got the idea after reading World War Z.

World War Z, now that is a great zombie-apocalypse book, I just couldn't put it down. Hmmmm........not a bad idea for a GB either.

so should i just start a new topic for a WW III GB

As long as this is suitably long I'll never be able to resist so you may as well count me in, but I don't know with what yet. I've got quite a few cold war era kits I could use for a cold war goes atomic thing and some ideas for a more futuristic angle as well. 

This would be a cool idea! I have a cool looking hell hound from Patlabor which would make an awesome AH-94 Apache II or a Dropship from the Aliens movie. Either of them would be cool, count me in!

@$%&, didn't work. Let's see...  Edit: Ah, much better

EDIT< SEE MY SECOND POST> Code gone awry...

I also have a 1/72nd Monogram Space Shuttle (Might have been origionally Hasegawa though) That I could mod. I'll have to think on it. I'm also thinking of some badges as well. Well, count me in for the F-16! (BTW: scale is 1/48th)
