Mr. Skinner,

Could you please put me on the list? It's OK if it is already filled up.

If you can put me on the list, put me down for Matchbox's 1/72 Henschel He-126.

Thanks m8

Aaron, you have a great GB growing here.  Going to be an awesome one!  Thanks for doing it.  Can't wait to see what you guys have up your sleeves for the next one.  Big Smile

Just wondering if you have a badge in mind for the GB?

Tounge in cheek suggestion, or two.....extend subscriptions for those that finish on time for a year, or a compilation of finisher's models pics in the magEmbarrassed

 

Or someone up to their necks in the stash......

How can I contact you guys to find out about this?

 

Thanx

Theuns

I'm in. Going for Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F4F-4. Plan on getting done on the 32 or 33rd of Jan.

Cheers

So is this more of a statement of intent or do I have to submit a picture of the unstarted kit on 1Jan17?

It's a statement of intent. Some will take a picture to show what they are going to build.  It is customary but not required to take a pic of the contents when you start though.

Steve,

I get the same thing when I click on Community again. This time try hovering over Community, then you will see Categories, just under Categories is Forums. Double click on Forums. See if that works. This is what I have been doing. Hope it helps

 

Edit: Actually, you only need to click once on Forums.

OK, no go with that. still the same thing. It is only on the forums this happens. The rest of the site is just fine. When I try the Online Reader Gallery, it goes to the forum and the same thing happens.

I hate to ask, but, have you logged out then back in to the forum? This was ahppening to me as well until I read a post from GMorrison. Since the logout and in, I've been good. 

 

Edit: Steve, I'm glad it's working for you now.

Yes, I tried several times as well as removing the cookis. This time it worked after trying one more time out of frustration.

Now I can start a new thread to report a problem...oh wait...it's fixed.

Hi Aaron,

Mark me down for a 1/32(54mm) British Infantry figure please. It's from an Airfix Multi Pose set.

I'm away a lot in January so I'm deliberately keeping it small and achievable.

Cheers

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Hi every one ,

I'm currently working on a New auto carrier with a load of Brand new 1965 Chevrolet's. So. I'll throw in for this for my very first car. Monogram's 1:25 scale 1965 Chevy Impala Hard top Nothing Fancy 283 engine Bench seat single exhaust shifter on the colum Mine didn't look this nice though LOL

Before I heard about this Group build, I finshed the 283 Engine. If thats a problem I have the 65 Chevelle I could do. So, take your pick. I won't /can't do both. LOL

Here it is Aaron. Its a 1/700 Hornet. I'll probably do a water base and display it with the B-25's.

I't going to be a trick to get her done by the end of Jan.

MC 1/700 scale B-25's are going to be interesting to see. I couldn't do them anymore LOL

Well Maybe if I had a microscope

Anyway I'll have to watch and see how it goes for you
