Off and running!

Count me in !!!!

I will do some "digging " in the stash pile , and let you know what this year's victim... ah....ahem ..."show winning kit " it will be

Okay gents, the group build is officially open for business.  Looking forward to your builds.

GM, I built that kit 2 years ago. Nice kit.

Okay, my first attempt will be the ancient Airfix/MPC F-86D in Phillipine markings.

Steve and G, looking forward to your builds.

We are getting pummelled with rain and hail. As soon as it clears up I'll start with primer app.

After some negotiations and compromise on both sides, I have been given the green light to start on the Zeek on Friday. I'm planning on opening up the plastic at or around noon.

Mongoose,

Welcome aboard!  While we've had 1/144 builds in the past, yours will be the first for this build.

Eagle90,

You're welcome, but it is I that should (and will) be thanking you guys, because without you all, this is just an exercise in vanity.

Ernest,

Start when you can. I probably won't be starting until the second week of December myself. Right now, I'm leaning towards Airfix's Typhoon, Spit Mk.Ia/b or Hurricane Mk. I. I have the camo and canopy masks for all of them and I can use Tamiya's rattle cans to paint quickly. Using the masks alone will save an hour or two. Who knows, I might even try for a twofer.

FYI lewbud, I'm out of town most of this week for the holidays so I'm planning on doing my SU-85 build the following weekend 12/6 to 12/8.

Eagle90,

Only 500 kits? You're slacking and need to catch up! I'm familiar with the kit you're building as I have two of them in an unfinished state from a club build several years ago (Spanish Civil War markings one from each side I think). You will have fun with this kit (it was one of Eduard's first kits). Your Rat is added to the front page.

 

LOL!  I know...I'm slacking in the staash bit.  But hey, there's always more time to buy kits!  LOL!

Thanks for hosting a great GB!

I'm in! 1st timer here. I watched from the background last year and then saved a kit just for this. Going to ease my way in and try not to add so much to a kit that it takes forever to finish. Not sure i noted a 1/144 on the list so this may be another 1st...

Suchoj S-37 Berkut

i opened the box. I'm going to paint the white, who needs decals, and the cockpit is seriously lacking...oh no here i go again. Reign it in, it's weekend GB!

We have COOKIES!!!!  Alright!!

Well, I'm still moving in the new house, but should have a bench up enough to satrt some building!!!  I'm very excited to get back to building!  I think I found the kit I'm going to do.  As I was uppacking my 500 kit stash I came across an Eduard Weekend edition 1/48 I-16 Type 18 kit!  I thought...weekend edition...BRILLIANT!!  LOL!

I'm liking the looks of it and am excited to jump in and start.  I just hope I have my paint booth ready!!!  LOL!

Anyway, I'll get you a pic soon of the kit.

Linus,

The start time is 0001 28 November. I was using the start time on Friday as an example. If you start at 1700 on Friday, you have until 1700 Sunday to finish (48 hours). You can start any day you want beginning on 28 November, just remember you have 48 hours. I went back and read the rules and saw where you got confused and fixed it. Come join the madness, we have cookies! 

Steve,

Your SLUF has been added to the list. Welcome aboard!

I'm in.  A Hasegawa 1/72 Corsair II.

Sailing Dutchman,

I've got you on the list. Looking forward to seeing those ancient kits come together.

I am in with a Revell 1/32 Huey or three.

C.B

Everyone here was a new guy once. I've added your gray ground target to the list. Welcome to the Madness!

Got the Gnat on the list (for some reason, I thought Steve told me that last night). Hopefully it uses the same yellow as the helo you did earlier so you can use it all up.

Caveman, 

If this is the only weekend you can do this, go for it.

Oh, so Freem, are you just going to ‘wing it’?

Buddy, I'm in with the 1/72 Airfix Folland Gnat in Yellowjackets livery.

Hey Lewbud.............

I can't play next weekend.  Can I pull the trigger this weekend?

Postimages.org is easy to use and free

Lewbud, I guess I may end up going back through my options, such as posting pics to my facebook and copying from there. Thanks for the head's up. We're planning on this being a project with my two boys and myself.
