Weekend Madness 2013- Completed!!!

Eagle90

Thank you sir!  I took liberty on the scheme from a couple of resources.  German, modern, I just had fun with it!  Let's call it "German Low-Vis Splinter!"

Wasn't that 74/75/76 with white outline only markings?

Tony, sweet looking 190. It sure looks different in none German scheme and markings.

Lew that sounds like an excellent choice. A true classic kit.

Bish, thank you for the compliments. I actually used a pre made wash on my Hurricane, if you look in the panel lines it's there. Black sure requires a different approach on weathering.

I know what you mean, I haven't done a black scheme since I started proper weathering and I have a few kits that need it, so its something I need to look into.

Hey Tony, great build man!  You did an awesome job!

Stik....we get bagels too!  Well, you can definitely put me done for next year too!  

Can I get some cream cheese with mine?

WOW, some amazing work there is such a short time.

wolf, now that's impressive, a 1/35th armour kit in such a short time, and it looks amazing.

Stik, love the hurricane

Eagle, now I like that scheme. Its different but it still has the feel of a German aircraft. Nice.

Tony, your a brave man trying washes as well. That's looking good.

chris, nice work on the 88.

Greg, sorry to hear about the nose dive, not what you like to see.

stik, chris and Eagle 90: Big Joe here. Lil Joe's in bed. I dunno how you guys do it with putting together all these quality builds in a short amount of time. Good job to all of you. I'm trying to set a start date for that V-19 for the weekend after this next. He's got a science project that's due by 5 Dec. We'll get started on it the weekend after that. Thanks for taking him in fellas!

Hey mustang,

Thank you!  I think that is the first time one of my builds and the word quality were used in the same sentence!    It was a blast doing!  And I must add it is great to see Master Joe getting into the hobby.  We shall see if my 2.5 year old gets the bug someday.

Here is my 190, with 19 minutes to go. I even got some light weathering done. Thanks for hosting this Stik, I love this GB.

Hope you like it.

Cheers

Tony

Lew, that paint scheme is a gutsy choice. All power to you for choosing it. I'll look forward t oseeing it.

Cheers

Tony

Lol! Badges... Stupid auto correct on my phone... I was waiting to see who would notice ;-)

 Grab your GB bagels and I will get those posted on the front page tonite after work or tomorrow before work... Lol!

Bagels???  Had I known we were getting GB bagels upon completion I would have called in sick and built TWO models this weekend!! 

Lew that sounds like an excellent choice. A true classic kit.

Greg, sorry to hear about the nose dive, not what you like to see.

Decided on my build.  Lots of grey and green here so I thought I'd add some color.  Monogram's venrable 1/72 F7F as a firebomber circa 1963.  Yellow fuselage and wings.  White vertical tail, black engine nacelles.  Red lettering and numbers.  White and silver 1000 gal. slurry tank.  Decals by Red Gecko Productions, tank by Lone Star Models.

You have plenty if time. I was at that point on my Hurricane with about 90 minutes left on the clock... Lol!

Great work Stik, Chris and Eagle. I'll comment more after my deadline passes

I have 4 hours 20 minutes to go. This is it half way through the panel line wash. I've gotta get this dry, do a couple  of little things, attach the wheels and do a flat coat.

Pyr, 

I understand.  Hopefully you'll jump back in.  Just cleaned off the workbench, I now have a clean 4ft x 4ft workspace again.  Don't know what I'll do with all the space.  The bigger question is where do I put all the unfinished projects that lived there for the last couple of years.

Lew: I deleted that folder from PhotoBucket....sorry.

You and me both... Perhaps that's why I do so many that allow crossovers. It's not about collecting badges to me, but participating in more and sharing in the fun.

Thanks Stik,  I tend to overreach on this GB, so my goal will be to keep it simple.  Congratulations to all who have finished.  Pyr, what happened to the pics of your build?  It sucks what happened, but it would be cool to see how far you got (at least for this latecomer).

You know what sucks? Trying to keep on top of this GB while at work using my iPhone. The photos are just too dang small! Nice work there guys! Grab your GB bagels and I will get those posted on the front page tonite after work or tomorrow before work... Lol!

Ok Lew, you are more than welcome to join up! I look forward to see your project here.

Mine for the purposes of this build is done.

I need a better picture, and do some weathering but here's a crappy iPhone photo after the white wash.  I added a dull coat and left for night shift.

O.K., so I was farther ahead than I thought!  

TIME!!!!!!!  With an hour or so to spare!

Stik, what a great GB!  Count me in for next years now!  I had a blast coming up with a paint scheme.  So her she is...Me P.1111!

Thanks bufflehead!  It is almost finished!  The decals or on and drying from the SOL.  Maybe a hit with some dull cote and she will be finished.  I be done before my 10:13 P.M. deadline!  Wait till you see the paint job!

Stik,

Even though my luck with the Weekend GB is spotty at best, I'd like to sign up.  Model tbd, will start next Friday evening.

Earnest, I am happy to see you peeking in here. I look forward to your speed build next weekend. Lets keep up the fire guys!

WOW!!  You guys are just zooming along!!  Today's my only day off after working 6, 12 hr days so I'm sorry that I did't' get a chance to follow along until now.

Konig - Sweet looking T-80!  I can't believe you got that done in less than 48 hrs!  GREAT JOB!

stik - beautiful Hurricane sir, with a unique (to me) paint job!!  Congrats for such a great job in 48!

Chris - the 88 is looking good!  Definitely NOT greasy satellites in space!!

Tony - your FW-190 is coming along great!  I like the preshading that you did!  Can't wait to see it done!

Greg - shoot, sorry to hear about the 223.   There's still time in the GB....maybe you can do another kit?

Eagle90 - ME-P1111??  Never even heard of that before!!  Eagerly awaiting the finished product!

Mustang - Can't wait to see your completed Starfighter!

My build won't start until after T-Day.   Too many things to do today and back to work tomorrow...

Well I do see greasy auto parts as well...

But seriously Chris those are looking good.  (and far more recognizable in Panzer Gray). I am sure you are well beyond that point now.

Pyr, thats a tough break there. Is the car damaged beyond repair, or still salvagable but beyond a 48 hour time span?

Tony, thank you. That Hurricane is growing on me, and I am seriously thinking about tackling the IID in my stash, but doing it up better, next year. Your 190 is progressing very nicely now.

Well, at 11;55 AM local time, I am calling this one done for the purposes of this GB. Yes it still needs a bit more weathering and an antenna wire, but it is essentially done. All the side tracks yesterday- putting up Christmas lights, out to dinner with my family... even a shower! and then my bike ride this morning took away several hours that could have been best used here but hey, it''s in under the wire... I do reserve the right for some minor touch up work before it goes to IPMS...

here with my Ipod for official time stamp.

and a few more shots...

Let's do this again next year
