 Uh Frank my 13 year old made the Pegasus V-2 in less than 20 minutes. Umm Ummm. Well? Whistling [:-^] Make sure you use all those cool cartoon Stickers that come with it! Laugh [(-D]

Sean if that didn't jab his manhood nuddin will! LOL!  Just funning Frank!  Don't get guy going though!  Remember a fear of failure is tanamount to just not doing it at all! Like Yoda sez ,Do or do not there is no try!  And by far the greatest prophet of modern day had the best words of all!

Dave-

OK, I looked at my 109 and I am thinking I'll never finish that one in 48 hours!

Seeing as how I built the 1/48 V-1 for the first 48 hour GB, this time I will build the Pegasus 1/48 V-2.  Can you update my build please? Big Smile [:D]

That depends entirely on the paint job we make him do, ehh Guy!

 

For example, but let's find him something GOOD!

Guy- HEY!  There's like, um... 14 I think. Blush [:I]  Two more than the V-1 I built last time! Approve [^]

bondo-Funny you post that pic, that's the exact V-2 I was going to do!  Saw that one at the USAF Museum. Big Smile [:D]

Oh and Frank, if ever there was a cop out for the weekend madness GB, A V2 is definately it. How many pieces in that kit? 4? 5? LOL. Itll be under severe scrutiny, big boy.

Buddy, even in 1/144th scale that is going to be a challenge.  But then you attempted three or four builds last year so I shouldn't be surprised.  Wink [;)]

Karl,

The voices in my head recommended telling the voices in your head to do BOTH!

Dave,

I'll finally commit to what I'm building.  Gonna be the Minicraft AC-130H in 1/144th.  Was going to try the RevGermany C-17, trying to go plastic neutral with regards to the stash.  Failing miserably at that, but trying anyways.

This looks like just what I need to get back on the bench and into the "swing of things".  I would like to throw my hat in the ring with my 1/35 Tamiya Willys Jeep and a few mechanic figs.

Eeeeek!!!  Almost onpage 2 while the 2008 weekend madness GB is near the top of the page.  That won't do.
 
Dupes, Browneyes, either of those buiilds would be great.  You could always do both!  Mischief [:-,]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhaaaaaa...the badge is GREAT! Was really hoping there would be another C+H themed one coming up. Laugh [(-D]

One show down, one to go before the GB starts. Now the options for me and BrownEyes have expanded to either the two 1/72 Fujimi Harriers or two 1/35 Tamiya Quad Flak 38 guns.

Wonder what else we might come up with at Granitecon. Dinner [dinner]

"there are no stupid questions, only ignorant answers"

here how it's done

Right click on the badge posted on the first page, and go to properties. Find the URL, highlight and copy it...

Not preferred as it causes the original designer to have to host it. Better to do this:

alternately save the picture to your computer, upload it to your photosharing site. Find the URL, highlight and copy it...


Go to your profile and paste it into the signature area

it will need this text before the url    [img]
and this text following it    [/img)

BTW, Dave, the badge looks excellent.

Dave,

The badge is Da Bomb!

Still haven't decided on whether I should build something that's been languishing in the stash for years or buy something new?
