Hans von Hammer:

Anyone can build a single kit, but it takes someone who's got the stones to build more than one, and in a short time...  And do it well...

 

Hmmmm.... define "well".....

 

The bar ain't THAT high... But it's high enough to make you have to decide if you want to post pictures of it..

Oh, I'll post pictures. It'll be up to y'all if you dare to actually LOOK at them!

By the way, who's a guy gotta kill to get put on the roster for this sucker?

Does the nanny let you say 'sucker'...?

EDIT: Yup.... she does....

I've decided on my first kit! Monogram's 1/72 scale F-15E.

Dunno about the 2nd one yet

Don Hammer,

I think I'm game as well.  I plan on doing a Monogram A37 Dragonfly  and an Esci A-1H Skyraider.  Been laying low with work commitments and Christmas preparation, but always lurking in the shadows to read the posts when possible.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow mafioso!!

Don Hans,

I offer for your approval the below mentioned Hasegawa Me-262A and the Revellogram F117A I just got from our club's Christmas party.

I will be joining the "family" on this one as well. Right now I am looking at a Esci S-3 Viking and a Monogram USAF Skyraider "Tour of Duty" version if I remember correctly or maybe a Hawk/Testors something or other (depending on what I can find). I know one thing, salt will be not mentioned or used again

Well yeah Dupes they do as do I However I just have to have 3 or 4 of their D model Mustangs in the wings, a strange vice to have I guess. Most of my stash is Revell-o-gram.

I think that Monogram DID have some other kits...

Awww man I only have 1 Monogram P-51D left in the stash   Time for a Michaels run me thinks to get more !!

I'm in, just don't know with what yet.  Still workin on the Firecat, hit a modelling slump after the Weekend GB.  Will post pics over in Round 1 when it's done.  I'm thinking something kinda spacy.  Kit one will be Willy Ley's Passenger Rocket with Flyable Booster in all it's rivet covered glory.  The rivets however, will probably not survive.  Kit 2-TBA.

I am still working on the Phantom Mustang.

Now if we're already "made" is it still a two build GB?

I finally got around to check if my BV P194 would be eligable. 

Its a Revell of Germany kit. I don't know if it's just a Monogram kit re-released by Revell, or the other way around.

Would an old Monogram sprint car be eligible as a crossover build?  

Howard 

Haven't decided if crossovers will be allowed, but if I decide that they are, sure...

I'm still polishing the rules for the build, and I figure that if I go with crossovers, they'd have to be less than 50% complete, probably closer to 25% max, in order to be fair to the guys starting with two kits from scratch...

And yeah, it's a two-kit build for the simple reason that you gotta be a performer, an "earner" ta get into "La Monogram Cosa Nostra"... "This Monogram Thing of Ours"...  Anyone can build a single kit, but it takes someone who's got the stones to build more than one, and in a short time...  And do it well...

Other than that, no pressure...

Don Hammer if you please sir I have decided on my second build for the family. I have built the two P-51 Mustangs, Passion Wagon of Lt. Arval Roberson in your groups and think it only proper, and to show respect, to build the 3rd and final version of Passion Wagon in your group, Cptn Charles Weavers Passion Wagon. It will be a 1/48 Monogram P-51D Mustang.

I smell a trade coming on. F-105, F-16, A-37, A-4, and F-4 decals for various bits and pieces of your stash. Mmmmmm, trade.

 

 

Whatever happened to 'out of the goodness of your heart'?

But that Legend IDF accessory set you snagged is calling my name...!

That, and you might still need a second kit for this GB. Wait, no, F-105 and A-4?

Hans von Hammer

Just so y'all know... There's a price to be paid to get made.. That price is building under pressure.. The pressure is that it's a two-kit build with a deadline that will seem ridiculously short...

I gave the original crew a six-month time-frame from their individual start-dates with an absolute, drop-dead finish time for all of 30 November...

Still want in?

yes SIR, first build will be a Monogram Wildcat, second will be ME 262 or a Hellcat

 

Hans-I'm going thru the stash looking for potential builds and a couple are coming up that I'm not sure would qualify-the AMT P-40 F/L & P-40N...both 1/48.  I know that Hobbycraft is making the F/L from the old AMT tooling so that may disqualify it.  No one is making the N....that I know of.

And I've got a lot of newer Revell/Monogram kits so I'm covered either way.

Thanks

When the "F-" did it become a two kit build? That l'il tidbit ain't been dropped in until now.

Aww, what the hell, I'll still be in. What's the worst that could happen - are you going to come here and kick my azz if I don't get both kits done in time?

Really? Nice! I probably have decals for that, too...

Really? Why am I not surprised?
