Weekend Madness GB November 13-15th 2009

Dave, put me down for the 1/35 Dora rail gun.

I'm feeling sassy.

Karl, your a madman!!!

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.

smaller version

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

I agree! Nothing screams the GB like CALVIN !!!!

are you doing the crew (350 soldiers) that were used to get it up to firing as well?
... and I expect to see it fully accessorised with PE!!
(sassy is not the expression I would use)

BTW, Dave, the badge looks excellent.

Brett

Fantastic badge choice Dave. Im loving this GB already and it hasnt even started yet.

...Guy

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?

...and don't forget the Krieglok's.

After all I'll need something to do on the Sunday afternoon.

Karl

eatthis, welcome to the build!   I'll add you to the front page.

Alright Guys, Calvin it is.  I'll add it to the front page and feel free to grab it at will!

Okay... Stupid question... but how do you post a badge in your signiture?

"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...

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)

(That last bracket is supposed to be a square bracket, but I could not type it that way because the program was trying to recognise the sample text as a graphic)

Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhaaaaaa...the badge is GREAT! Was really hoping there would be another C+H themed one coming up.

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.

Dave, I'm having second thoughts about the Dora.

I'm not convinced it'll be the challenge I think it is.

Maybe something like a 1/48 Fujimi F6F would be a better choice?

Too many choices........must fight voices in head........

Karl

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.

That voice is probably Guy hidding in your closet raiding your stash!!!

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.

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?

I cant believe you Grassed me up Dave...well i can  i spose. Its always your fault when im caught pilfering Luftwaffe stuff.

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.
