Rolling Shelf of Doom GB

Glutton for punishment GT 

So, since I'm building the Academy A-10 for the CAS GB I figured I would pull these two 1/72 derelicts out. The Revell one is a real dog and the Academy was in paint stages. I don't remember what the GB was but I was so tired with these that once the GB was over I just shoved them in a box.

Do you have plans for building more of these? With the lines it looks like it would be a good way to copy these for making more.

 

Sure is lonely here on the SOD. Sign up guys! Get to work. Post some pics! 

Rescribing is pretty much done so I took a break to contemplate masking the canopy.  After much trial and error I have made pretty good masks.

GT,    For 2021 sign me up for my 1/72 Monogram F-4J.  Marjor assembly was done. Then, I started filling, sanding, and re-scribing panel lines and that is when it got stuck on 'the shelf'.   Scribing should be finished soon.  Markings.... probably VF-31 mig killer but who knows....

I just fixed something cause it was auto linking (if such a thing) to the F-106 I built. I was thinking of pulling the roster and maybe moving that to the 1st post.  On the 2nd post I'm thinking of doing the completed builds by year. I'm still thinking this out as I'm typing.

Or you could just start a new thread / roster for 2021

I can probably get the dates in there but will take some homework and some time. Should have done this from the start but wasn't thinking of this until mid last year.

 

GT, any way to divide up the roster by year and /or add  entry and  completion date to roster? 

Cool looking badge Ed. I want to join and finish a shelf queen ....... if I can figure out which one I call a shelf of doom build . Most of mine are ones I just put aside "for the moment"

Looking good Rob, how do you plan on doing the masking? Stuffing the cab with tissue paper?

 

thats my usual method yes. Kit comes with masking for the windows (will leave the main ones off for now). Will also need to maks the engine (may use the optional bonnet sides for that and then the underneath - tissue or perhaps cling film for that

I am hoping this one will get completed in 2021... with my first piece of "proper" soldering I finished the cab. now need to mask everything up and protect the interior of the cab before I can start painting

So here is the 2021 GB badge.  It is the USS New Jersey at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in 1987.

WOW, year 2 is almost done. I'll have to look around for ideas on a 2021 GB badge.

 

hopefully I will get a badge next year for the scammell

Some great stuff here.  I have to get back to my dusty shelf queens.  Inspiring. 

I have no clue how I missed this until now but I'll jump in. Certainly have plenty of options to choose from lol. I'll get back to you with 'starting' pics and subject when I get home for the holidays.

I just realized I never posted the final pics, once I finally got the pilots done!  You can use the last one as the front page gallery pic.

 

 

 

 

Wow, those look awesome. I'd be proud to have those in my Agressor squadron 

That looks good AA.

Actually the green is the second color. I originally painted it white like on the box (30 years ago) but it sort of dulled and yellowed with age and I decided I didn't like it white after all, so I changed to the green which was about 2 years ago. So I'm sticking with it.
