Last blast, let's go out in a blaze of glory! Weekend Group Build the 2015 Edition.

Started base coats on the decks, hull, and all the other parts.  

Wow Caveman, that will be cool.

I paint with oils, the Jim Beam makes a good thinner in lue of turpentine

OK, seem to have it right.  Just wanted to share a little entry that graced the tables at the show in Ajax, Ontario a few weeks ago.

I hope to be starting within the hour.  Keep at it guys!

Hey Gents,

Best of luck with your madness entries.  I seem to see an alcohol theme here.  Perhaps it makes the build go smoother?  I will be starting soon, but need a quick check on the photobucket thing.  I have not used it since last years build, so please bear with me as I figure this thing out again.

Hey all-got started at 1800 CST-model is the Revell-o-gram 1932 Ford Coupe.

Plan is to go for a 'modern' Rat Rod-will use the kit Ford V-8 and the kit suspension.

Might try to grab some better rims & tires out of a different kit but we'll see.

Attempting to replicate the may weekend builds of my youth-no airbrush-just spray cans and paint brushes.

Body, engine & interior are primed.  Plan to assemble the chasis tomorrow and hit it with flat black, along with the body,  Interior will be craft acrylic tan. Just need to figure out a way to dull down the chrome plating without having to strip and repaint.

Cockpit is painted, assembled and now drying. I will soon be adding it to the fuselage and closing it up. Hopefully the halves will cooperate and the wings will too. 

Moving ahead.

I got my picture of me starting at 7pm. 

I am sooooo ready to bang this thing out in 48 hours.

Ha! Just kidding. Here's my real project this weeked, with clock showing 4:25 Friday. My Kindle was out of power...

Ladies and Gentlemen, what an auspicious start! I look forward to watching your builds come together.  I'm off to the LHS, for supplies and I will join in around 2000-2100 CST. 

Greentracker, we'll keep the light on for you.

BK,

I built that kit at the first of the year. It goes together well, but watch out for the wing roots.

 

First trip to the booth is in the books, now detail painting. Wings and tires are drying for furture sanding and paint. This kit is moving rather well,...so far.

BK

Howdy folks.  Those are some nice kits.  I bet they'll look great.  Here are my survival necessities for this weekends frivolity!

1. Hasegawa FW-190/A Egg Plane (I have to infuse a little whimsy)
2. Coffee - More where that came from!
3. Doritos - More where that came from too!
4. Wifes patience - In limited suply...

It's 3:00 pm... lets do this!

Well, here we go again !

Alright, it's 12:45 PM here, I have the kit opened, not the sprues. I will begin officially at 1:00 PM sharp. Good luck to all.

I'm starting tonight as soon as I get home and feed the dog. Probable at 1800 MT

Unless I get caught in a "honey do", I should be able to start at 1900 or 2000 tonight.  I dont get a newspaper so my camera will have to suffice. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I like the attitudes that are developing here.

Stik, you would be more than welcome.  This build usually runs for 3-4 weekends, just let me know.

RobS, there's always next weekend!

As for myself, after a trip to the LHS on the way home, I plan to start on something. I know I said the F189, but not in the mood for a car right now. Your fearful leader.

This weekend is out for me probably Thanksgiving weekend as well. But I seriously do want to partake if I can find the right kit in my stash...

Can't wait, can't wait. Wait, wait, wait...

I'll kick off at 2000 PST with the sprue shot of the Friday newspaper.

First order of business- dip the canopies in clear so they're dry by Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

I think I remember a Hasegawa weapons set out in the garage of doom that has better Falcons.

"Sure honey, I'll find the Christmas lights this afternoon".

Gents, with regret, I must bail on this for this particular weekend. I have to travel now...I'll try to get in again for the next weekend blitz...Have fun and git 'er done!!

Yikes!  This weekend!!!!  Um, guess I to need to start mentally preparing to start Friday night. 

Wow, is it already here. I'm not mentally prepped yet. Ugh, I guess it's time to phsyc myself up then.

BK

OK, with the proviso that it's finished in time for the meeting.  You probably planned on that though. 

Lew

I have a model club meeting Saturday. Its been a few months since I attended and I really need to be there this month.

I can wait, but I wouldn't be starting til Saturday evening.

Bufflehead, welcome aboard!

Waynec, got it.

Greentracker, unless you can give a very compelling reason as to why, hold off until Friday.

Only three days to go!

you need more armor and, even though i need to do my helos, change mine to probably a JGSDF 8x8 prototype recon vehicle or a TYPE 90 tracked thingie.

Yea, We have to keep reminding them. I don't know why, but the ladies just don't seem to understand the importance of our hobby LOL

At the moment, I'm leaning toward an olive green D-Day P-47 with invasion stripes. This is the 3rd P 47 I will have done.

I think my next egg will be the p-38. I thought the egg 38 would be more complex, like the other P 38 kits, so I don't think it would be a good weekender kit.

I've seen others complaining about the 47 being short one gun on each side. The wings are in one peice, so adding the 4th gun isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would be. Maybe, I should take a day or two to think about that.

Can't wait to see that on Ken. Ha ha a P-47 egg plane LOL. That's got to be cute!!

I'm starting on Friday the 13th, and fighting tooth and nail to hold the line against my wife who keeps suggesting stuff to do next weekend. "No honey, I have my build then". "Oh yeah, that's right" she responds.
I guess it's all about what's important.
