I will be starting tomorrow at 10am.  The recon on the spares bin is complete. Now all i need to do is get some isopropyl and clean the bench a little.  The wife threw me a curve ball tuesday when she bought me the new Call Of Duty game (amazing btw).  I had to play the out of it so it wouldn't be to much of a distraction.  Now if I could only get a babysitter for the weekend

It's just gone 9:30am my time, I'm about to snip my first sprue.

I'm now officially underway

Last minute trip to the LHS coming up ... Light Gull Gray and RLM 66 needed.

In about 24 hours here, I should be kicking off my build....

I picked up that kit on Wednesday so I'll be happily waiting your reports.

OK, just under 11 hours and I will be under way, I plan to start Friday morning at around 9:00am (GMT +9:30).

I've finally decided to go with the yellow (dunkelgelb) and green (dunkelgrün) camo (Summer Russia 1943), So Ill try to go easy on the mud, and heavy on the dust.

Here it is ready to go

And I've cleared the bench and the booth, and have my work area ready as well.

We are in the midst of a heat wave here in Adelaide, and now both days are forecast to hit 39c. So while you guys in the northern hemisphere are sitting, waiting for your paint to dry, think of me, bathed in a pool of sweat, trying to get my parts together, before the glue evaporates.

Brett

WOOT! Less than 20hrs (for me) till kick off, I'll be starting just after lunch friday (australian eastern summer time aka GMT +11)

There are heaps of threads about posting pictures in Community Assistance (aka Forum Help). If you still need help with that.

not long to go now!!!

Great we have 27 people signed up so far.  That's awesome!!! 

Sarge, there is no set start time.  Start whenever you like but keep it to 48 hrs.  So if you startat 5:00 pm friday you muust try to finish by 5:00pm Sunday.  If you can't finish on time post a pic of where you are at at the 48 hr mark and then finish up when you can.

Hello       I have an unstarted Eduard's 1/48 P-400 Weekend Edition (yeah, will see.) I would like to do for this GB. It would be a crossover with my Pacific War GB. Is this ok? If so am I in?

Welcome Scott.  Glad to have aboard.  Sounds like a great kit and I look forward to your build.

 Well earned a day off due to Federal law about  how many hours  I can work!  A lot!  So tomorrow I am going to the store with my list and buy all my stuff  I shall need for the Landcaster!  So when are we allowed to kick it off! Is there a set time?  Midnight Thurs? Friday Morning?  O I am am getting ancy!

 Hmmm nevermind it was just gas.

I got invited to see the 9ers! My good luck- it's a Thursday game, not Sunday! Didn't know how I was gonna get my xacto into the Stadium! There is the small matter of Stanford-USC but it will have to be background!

Going to the Hobby Shop Thursday afternoon for last minute supplies. Making a final list tonite. Last weekends little experience with the Cobra Co. AM for my helo reminded me to have Bandaids handy! Ouchh...But not the Dave and certainly not the Frank (or Jeremy OMG) ouch!

Woooo! Three days! Got to get the bench cleaned up a bit and actually write down the sequence of events as well as paint callout now while we're not frantically building. That, and get a shot of all the parts beforehand.

Me and BrownEyes are shooting for a noon Friday to noon Sunday span...lets us relax and decompress with some football after going model-nuts all weekend.

I've just had a look at the forcast for the weekend, and it's going to be HOT here. Friday 39C (102F), my house is not airconditioned, so drying time should not be an issue.

What for?

There is a little clear area on the right hand side, just next to the drill where you could work.

So... I guess I should get around to posting pics of my parts... Here they are:

Now I've gotta get around to cleaning this...

and as far as my battle plan goes... I'm going to invent a Time Machine

 I am so confused and bewildered.

Clare Danes? Isn't she a bit skinny?

 Hmmmm Seems like I will be working on the railroad all the live long night right up to the start time.  That's good I'll already be tired and won't notice.

 BOndo , I got a whole attic full of model junk from my lifetime.

 Every once in a while a body does turn up Dave.  

Holy shitt, my Carlsberg coaster!! I've been looking for that ever since I stopped dating Clare Danes! Dog, you were the guy?

Nice pile of junk. What happened, Dee took your car and emptied the trunk? At least she recycled the empties!

Aaron your mozzer was a hamsterrr and your fazzer smelled of elderberry. I am up for battle. If'n yer a knight there's two Lancies in th' pile an' once you've built one ye'd never go back an' build t'nuthher, wud ye bro? Mightn well get it outern yer system now. Real men take em' two at a time. Holds true fer Normans, Gauls, Pictish an' Tamiyas.

Okay Sarge, two things.  I sure hope that miscellaneous body part in that first pic is still attached to a body and that the said body isn't still buried under all that rubble (OMGOSH... I just referred to a Tamiya Lanc as rubble )

Secondly, why is Batman impaled on a wall with all your models???? 

Thirdly, (did I say two things) My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by todays awful events as well.  What a tradgedy!!!

 Hello odd fellow? Welcome to the GB!

 I have been digging and digging for my Italian stuff! I can not find my Italian aces decals and a box of 1/32 lits has been misplaced!

 They don't sell snow shovels down dez parts!

 But after I get the room picked up! I look at my wall of GB stuff and smile.

 Get well Frank and Dave! You old coots!

 Capt Bondo!   I may need a double dose of yer medicine to get me thru the night! One week to get all cleaned up and the bench prepared!  General coodoors will be sounded all to soon get yer rest!

 Christmas presents and work to boot the humanity of it all!

 and a Prayer for my friends at Fort Hood may the  loved ones of those killed and wounded find comfort and peace from such an aweful unbelievable event.
