Ok, I'll get started on them, probably over the weekend... Got a rather full plate, bench-wise, right now... 'Course, once I  make the molds, I can churn 'em out pretty quick...

I just picked up a funky yellow color for my M48.It's called 'Smoothster Yellow' by Boyd.I'm itching to get started.

Ok list is updated, please let me know if its not right or I missed you. Still gotta think up somthing for myself yet.

Andrew

Please add me in with Vin Diesel's blown Charger from the 'Fast and Furious' movies.

Is there a limit on how "complete" the model is? My brother and I both have some Gundam kits that are about 75% complete.

If it's Ok, let me know.

Looks like she's shaping up to be another great GB!

Found all the parts to my Warp Models Whitestar so I'm good to go now!!!

Lock me in!

That's a very transparentish (new word) color and you should test spray some if you've never used it. I like it over a solid yellow basecoat but that also tints the results. It's also heavy with pearl and I think you're building an AFV? Again, you might wanna try it before committing it to plastic.

 If you don't mind me asking, what in the name of Nimitz is that?

 

 

Sorry Hans, I forgot to add picture of the box + details. Yes it´s from Star Wars EP3.

 I went out and picked up a Revell Charger R/T which had a front end treatment close to the Fast and Furios movie "Hero car" and I liked it for other things that came with the kit. Then I realized it had the wrong rear panel treatment? So I also picked up an MPC 'Dukes of Hazard' Charger figuring I'd cast a copy of that tail lamp panel and eventually build that car someday.

 Dang if the MPC molds aren't so used up that there's a major sink mark across the center of that tail panel? This is proving frustrating and I haven't really started yet?

Mr Squid will add you in th enext day or two.

Klik, I'd say yes if they are going to be painted, no if not painted as they are not a hard build and 25% left isnt alot.

Ok, less than 2weeks to kick off. Still havn't made my choice yet, I better get my but into gear.

Can I come in?  I'm building the 1/200 Trumpeter Arizona for a ship GB so since it was in Pearl Harbor as well as Tora Tora Tora.  I'm thinking it qualifies.  I haven't started it yet but I think I can finish it in a year.  Do I qualify or is this a don't call us, we'll call you?

I also want to try and build the Revell 1/28 scale Fokker Triplane in the colors of Ernst Kessler in the movie, The Great Waldo Pepper.  The black and yellow plane with LOLA written across the fuselage and "du doch nicht" across the elevators.  If I get ambitious, I will also try and build Waldo's Sopwith Camel in the same scale.  That was one of my all time favorite movies.  The flight scenes are amazing considering there was no CGI involved.

FWIW: I picked a THIRD Charger which is also a Revell kit and between my first R/T and now this one I have the right front and rear end panels for the movie car look. Speaking of which I also picked up the movie with special features disc to get some good looks at the movie car builds. I guess I'm just about armed for the build now?

Mr. Squid, Sorry for the delay, Added

Pavlvs, Added

OK build begins 27th your local time (3hours from now, here). You may start whenever you wish after then or feel free to wait until the Academy's actually begin (up to you).

As for my build...

ye shall see tomorrow :P

Roaring and revving the engine at the start-line. Jut a few more hours and the box-lid starts flying.

Just an update, '38... I haven't yet started on casting the figures yet due to the surgery I had and all the associated stuff that goes along with it... I should, barring calamaties, get 'em going this week...

no Prob Hammer,,, no hurry

FYI: I have never gotten off to such a rocky start on a build? Dummy me for not realizing the subtle (to my eyes) changes in the Charger for 68 through 70. It turns out the F&F movies used a '70 front end and wouldn't you know it- having bought three Charger model kits now I don't have a '70? The 70 had a distinctive wraparound grille which replaced the front bumper. I had read earlier that the movie cars just didn't use the more traditional separate bumper like a 68/69 had. Hmmm, I either see an end to this plan or a concession in being correct?

Mr Squid, play it how you like (3 kits already to make one is more than enough outlay in my opinion)

Wow, I'd expected more of a big Hollywood explosion sort of kick-off!

I'm afraid I maybe a little slow out of the gate myself, since I've got about thirty things piled up on my workbench.

Anyway here's what the Whitestar looks like on TV:

Or better yet, as a Youtube clip.

What the Warp kit looks like, a big pile of resin with a few white metal parts for the spines and guns:

As you can see I started on the kit some years ago but dropped it due to not being sure I was good enough to get the complex mottling scheme to look good. However recently I found these aftermarket decals which should take care of that:

I kicked off my build this afternoon. I was able to build the cockpit, so over the next day or so I will get it painted and pics taken.

Nice looking so far Gamera, looking fwd to the end product.

Pics Stik?

I havnt broken sprue so far being trying to finish up some other GB's first. As for what am I building?

A Konigwolf of course.

Once I finish off a kit for yet another Group Build elsewhere,I'll get started on something for this one.

Gamera.. that is a neat looking craft.. !

as for my entries,,, I hope to start one soon,, and Hans and I are working back channels on one.. stay tuned..

Thanks guys,

She's a Whitestar from the TV SF series 'Babylon 5'. They were one of the more commonly seen 'good guy' ships. I've heard some claim they look like 'two frogs bonking' but I loved her since the first episode she appeared on. My second favorite fictional spacecraft only surpassed by the original Enterprise.

Got some taken this morning. Just bare plastic so far. I need to do a hobby shop run for some paint. I bought this kit consignment several years ago and it came with parts for two kits. That is why there is a second instrument panel that is painted there. If the one I do comes out better, I will use mine, if not, I will use the previous owner's work

Nose wheel and speedbrake well

cockpit parts

and now a coat of paint on the cockpit, wheel wells, and speedbrake well...

Nothing to show yet.

Started a few sub-assemblies on the Bike but still no putty or paint slung yet.

Question to the Gb organizer.

Would the ship from the "One-Piece" Anime be eligible. Got a copy coming in oh about 30 min and they are also doing a 2nd ship from the Anime. 

As long as you have to paint it and it has more than a couple of parts, I'd say yes.

NOthing wrong with anime its Most of its either TV or movie after all (considering my build is from the old TV series Zoids)

Stik, looking blue good.

Andrew

Thank you Konig!

I did some different detail colors in the cockpit and wheel wells yesterday and added a burnt umber wash this morning.
