GROUND ATTACK GB

Nice job on the gun Theuns, I'm excited to see the rest of it.

Good idea for that gun, Theuns.

PJ, what site did you get the virus from?

I've been wondering if the pay version of Malwarebytes would find that stuff.  Been having issues also and have been suspecting PB.

The non free version may be a little better but as the tech told me, no malware or anti virus product is100% effective. Unfortunately, some junk will get thru sooner or later. An annual check at a professional shop like the one I went to is $ well spent.

PJ,

When you switched to imageshack, were you able to keep you photo links to the forum, or did you have to replace them?

the PB links are still there.  I will not go on there again. Image shack is way easier to use than PB.

PJ

I just signed up.

So you leave all your old links as they are and just move on from here? That's what I'm planning on doing.

Yes. 

I'm going to be enteing the B-25J from Hell I wanted to join earlier but this model has caused more pain from sanding than any other I've ever faced anyways I'll keep it OOB and although it looks like I'm almost done I assure you it'll be a few more months at this rate enjoy

This model was to be my reintroduction after a long hiatus from the hobby and a simple build in anticipation for a very nice Hasegawa 1/48th F/A-18F and my focus wasn't going to be on panle lines this time just a smooth surface to try new painting techniques on and hopefully a great paint job at the end of it Well after going much further past my expected date of completion, my realization that this truly has become the worst model I've put up with. From the very beginning this model has been a beast of fit issues that have prolonged the build to the point of me having to force myself to work on it. My status right now ( I failed to take picturs through most of the sanding but just know that every piece that was attached has used copious amounts of super glue and Tamiya putty including both entrances on the belly, both engine bays as well as the front covers, the tail section, the front nose section, the bomb bay doors almost made me cry..) is that of final assembly of major parts in preparation for the first actual coats of paint in which I will start with a black spray for preshading followed by Model master metalizers on the front air surfaces, Hairspray then the first layer of OD and gray with more hairspray and the three layer technique from Doogs' blog followed by the salt technique for post shading then some detail paint followed then by final assembly and decals. here's what pictures I did take all straight on the bench with my galaxy s5 you can see that I actually succeeded with the hairspray technique on the propeller blades. But the constant sanding has really killed my motivation

Anyways that's all I've got so far hopefully I haven't pushed the joining limits Thanks for looking!

I forgot to post pix of the completed AH-64  (oops)

Thanx for the GB.

Theuns

Looks great Theuns..thanks for posting those final pics.

Hi Everyone

I have been of the forums for a long time and did not see this Group Build until right now.  I had been working on a 1:32 scale IL-2, "Sturmovik", and she is pretty much ready for the paint shop.  I have a few pics of her, but she's assembled, just not painted.  Can I join in?  Or am I too far along in the build.  I won't post pics unless I get the go ahead from the BOSS.  Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Regards

I wonder where Matt went? He hasn't been on in a month?

Well I got most of the glass attached now which is nice.... The amount of filler is too damn high... I also finished the tail gunners canopy!

I sent him a PM several days back and no answer from him as he has not added me to the roster. Hope all is ok with him.

 

Theuns

 

Great job on that Apache. That is one mean looking helo.

Chugging along!

Well..as Matt seems quite absent..any members of this GB mind if I join in with my Hind?

Sounds good Rob. I'd love to see your Mi-24.

Steve

I guess if Matt doesn't show up, someone needs to step up and take over. How does one go about doing that?

I really hope he's OK. I PM'd him last week.

Steve..that's a good question..maybe an email to FSM?

I too sent him a PM over a month ago with no response.  I do hope he is ok.

I just PM,ed Tim regarding Matt's MIA and the build being leaderless.

Tim said there wasn't anything FSM could do and it is up the the members to keep it going or not.

So even though I completed one build for this GB, I was going to work on another. I know there is still interest in this GB.

I guess we continue to support each other, and the patch is available for those who complete a build. Maybe Matt will show up soon.

I truly hope he is alright.

Steve

Steve

Thanks for contacting FSM. I have an interest in this GB and will be posting pictures shortly on my project.

You bet PJ,

Bring it on, I'd love to see what you got. You do great work.

Right on Steve, I'm on board. I'm starting my Hind tonight and will start posting WIP soon. She's a big'n so, she'll keep me going for a bit!!

I want to echo the sentiment that I hope nothing serious has happen to Matt.

I too am still interested in this GB, but, in my infinite wisdom have entered too many GB's. Although, I do plan to complete each and every one of them. 

@Steve, thanks for taking the initiative to contact FSM. Maybe we can be collective leaders of this GB until Matt returns? 

@Rob S, I would really like to see that Hind completed. Welcome to the GB!

Rob,

As I wrote in the Marine GB. I built that kit, at least I think it's the same, 1/48?. Oh well, if the same, It's a great kit. Highly recommended. I did mine in East German markings.

Hogfanfs,

I'm positive we all can keep this GB going . We have a bunch of great guys.

I know there's a ton of GB's right now and most of the members are highly booked. However I do have an Artillery GB starting up in April and a Boeing Build that I brought up last August that will be starting in June.
I hope you left room for desert.

Hello everyone,

I know I am late to this group build, but I am in the middle of building a Hobby Boss, 1:32 scale Il-2 "Sturmovik", (On skis) and I would like to join in.  I have a few pictures I took along the way, and I know I am close to the end, that I will get this bird finished buy the deadline.

Thanks for you consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon

Regards,

Steve,

Your Boeing GB is part of my large list of GB's. So, yes, I'm already looking at desert, but, mom says I have to eat my dinner first!
