if anyone has an idea for  GB badge, please post it. 

p38jl, you had something about a "pushmepullyou"  badge?

For some reason i had a griffon in my mind the whole time... Birdlike features with a lions body...that sorta thing. Just took a shot at something of a badge with one:

Use it if you want. I had my fun

Richard

WOW. I like that, I like that a lot!  

Hey Owl. Gonna change my kit. I wanna use my Revell 1/48 F-14A Tomcat that i'm doing for the Swing Wing GB. Also since this is a year long GB, my second will be a Italeri 1/48 S-3B Viking done in Centennial of Naval Aviation markings then if there's still time i'll add the A-10. Let me know if that's cool.

How could Oddmanrush pass up an odd group build? He can't. Owl, you have me down for TBD but I will go with ESCI/ERTL's 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar GRI...I won't be starting for a little bit though as I have some other stuff to accomplish. The year long build is good for flexibility though.

the kit switch is fine. Ive updated teh roster. the Viking isn't an animal per se....but they sure weren't known for their advances in aviation!  I'll let it in.

Ahhh that's true. Wasn't thinking about that with the Viking, but if you'll let it in cool. Also the A-10 is a Revell also (I really gotta get better kits in the stash.)

yeah, Im kinda debating that though. If I let you slide, Ill have to let everybody slide!

I like Revell kits. I built the A-10 a few years ago. It was a pretty nice kit if I recall. That's the same one I have planned for this GB too.

Hey no problem. I'll stick to the Tomcat and the Warthog. The Tomcat is started but not very far into it. Trying to concentrate on the Osprey at the moment so I can have it ready for our local IPMS show at the end of the month.

alrighty then, the roster now shows the Warthog and Tomcat. Good luck at your contest!

Awesome badge kermit, OWL, mines a P-51D... Mustang...

but what manufacturer and scale?

Thanks. I have a WIP thread on going if you wanna see the Osprey.

CallSignOWL

but what manufacturer and scale?

1/48 Tamiya

thank you, sah! The roster is edited.

what are the start and end dates?

i might enter this dunno what with yet though lol

Dang, with a build badge that cool it's hard for me not to join in. Curse you Kermit for tempting me!!!

In all seroiusness I cannot commit now but since you're running for the year I might jump in sometime in the summer or fall if ok by you LadyOwl.

Had considered a 1/48th Roden Gladiator- ok not an animal but they were known more for their arena fighting than aeronatical prowness.

Ill put you down as a maybe, Gamera. You have a while to clear your schedule.  And it was decided to have the GB remain strictly with animals, so no gladiators.

Ok, sure no problem, I'm sure I have some sort of animal somewhere in my stash.

Thanks!

alright, I have You down as TBA.

Oh and a bit of house cleaning here: I forgot the forum doesn't like " marks and it messes up the thread titles adding amp;amp;amp all over the place. Form here on out, try to avoid hitting reply on those posts so we can get rid of that.  thanks!

Really cool badge!  Thanks Owl and Kermit!

what are the start and end dates?

i might enter this dunno what with yet though lol

the start and end dates are posted on the first page. The build is planned to run from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.

my tomcats started, but its only little bits. was spraying some white so i grabbed bits and sprayed them too. Nothing major.

cant wait for this to start. cant wait for this payday so i can get the colours i need to finish my knighthawk too. i might actually finish a kit for once rather than getting bogged down with 80% syndrome like always

I've got a Dragon 1/35th "Maus" that's been in the stash for about 17 years.  Would that work?  Huge tank/small animal label.

hmmm....that could work. While not a swimming/flying creature, there is a layer of irony in naming one of the largest tanks after one of the smallest animals. It is quite mismatched, isn't it?  OK, its in.
