Weekend Madness GB November 13-15th 2009

Dave- I love it!  I had looked for some kind of C & H cartoon, but couldn't find one.  Your badge has my vote!

So my first idea for a GB badge didn't pan out but I came up with another one that is in keeping with our Calvin and Hobbes theme from last year.

Gee Frank, I think you'd need three optivisors for that one!!!

Just an idea I was playing around with...

Your thoughts?

Karl, glad to have you join us.  Always look forward to your builds.

Frank, I haven't built 1/144 since I was a teenager and was less than impressed so I will not comment!

Dave- If 1/72 is divine scale, what would 1/144 be?  Just out of curiosity...

Frank -Here is a direct quote from our leader refering to 1/144

"As for the 1/144 SBC2, someone has a sick sense of Humor!  Wonder who that could be?"

Dave, put me down for something.

I don't know what but something in 1/72, probably with wings!

  Thanks for the add Dave.  I am very excited to do this build. Haven't decided what I will be building yet but should know after going to AMPS this weekend.

Oh, yeah... I like that idea!  Gonna be interesting trying to paint a mottle finish in 1/72 in 48 hours!
