Stick me down. I am not 100% sure what I build yet, possibly a MiG, but not definite. It will be 72nd scale though.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

 

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

OFFICAL NATURAL METAL FINISH GB V (2013-2014)
Posted by SchattenSpartan on Thursday, May 23, 2013 10:54 AM

Hello and welcome to the NMF group build nr. 5!!!

I'm Clemens and appears that I am the new host of this GB series. The former host Randy (vetteman42) is not able to continue on hosting the GBs, so I jumped in as he asked for someone to continue this series.

I'll try to do my best and not disappoint him, so wish me luck!

This group build will run from June 2nd 2013 untill December 31st 2014, so you have plenty of time to finish your models. You can even build two or even more if you want to Wink

Rules:

As with every GB, there are some rules to go by:

The rules of this one are basically the same ones as in part 4, but I'll post them here for all the guys who didn't participate in one of the earlier rounds:

1) You can use everything you want for achieving the metal finish you are after. Be it paint, foil or anything else...

2) The model you build can be everything, any scale, any subject, as long as it has a metal finish.

3) Your model should be at at least 50% NMF.

4) Aftermarket items or not, It's your decision.

5) Crossovers are no problem at all, as long as they match all the other rules.

6) Already started kits are fine as well, but should not be more than 30% completed.

7) Carry-overs from round 4 are welcome at any time, no matter how far you got with the build (so rule #6 doesn't apply here)

8) WIP pictures are a must!

9) Be nice to each other.

10) This is the most important rule: HAVE FUN!

 

Badges:

Personal Badges:

Randy made some awesome personal badges for all participants in the last round, consisting of the GB name and a picture of each finished model! I want to kep this alive, as I think that is a really awesome idea!

Theuns:

68GT:

B52Gunner:

Misty:

 

Everyone from round 4 or earlier is invited to join this one as well. Everyone else is, of course, also welcome!

 

I wish you much fun in this one!

Clemens
