2023 Git-R-Done Group Build (Ended)

So im stuck in this 3 hour meeting at work and I am only presenting for like 20 minutes and super bored. I used an AI image generator to try and come up with a Gb photo for us. Its not super impressive but a decent start I guess? Maybe someone can photo shop something different into them?

Verify interesting idea!  I was thinking of a cartoon of a modeler at his bench frantically assebling a mountain of 1/2 built kits.   Can your AI enging come up with something like that?

Its just a free AI thing I found in Google so its not super intuitive but its interesting.

Have had so much going on I got back into a non-build mode and weeks flew by.

Really need to get this rocket finished and for whatever reason the switch is working perfectly again. Soooo its permanently attached save for the very tip. Decals will go on tonight or tomorrow and I just need to paint and attach smoke cones.

The truck is almost done Im just trying to work out a good way to attach rear wheels.

Looks great James. It's going to be really cool when done I am sure!

Interesting use of AI.  What was your prompt?

Thanks! Of course once I got everythng together the switch decided to stop working again. pulled it all apart to discover the issue. When I soldered the wires i melted the switch. New one should be here in a few days.

This rocket I swear....

New switched worked perfectly, until the battery started getting super hot and melting the inside of the rocket. Thankfully I had it wrapped in foam to keep it from moving around. Maybe I wired it incorrectly? But why would function properly. I dont know. Ill figure it out eventually.

I finished my Hasegawa A-7A.  I started as a 48 hour build, but that didn't work out. 

Thanks for looking.

Sounds like the battery got shorted out. Might want to check your wiring.

Steve, nice looking Corsair.

Looks great SteveCB!

Which picture do you want to use on the Wall? Or , do you want to provide another picture -- these ones are a bit dark/underexposed.

Here are a couple more pics.  Probably the second pic for the Wall.

Ahh, beautiful. I'll update the wall with the 2nd picture!

Yea had a wire or two mixed up. Not sure what I was thinking.. Its all corrected now. Switch added, wires soldered and its working good. The Jets dont look very realistic, but the boy loves it so thats all that matters.

When I bought this kit, I bought it from a seller on Ebay and the base arrived broken so they sent me a complete 2nd kit. Now that I know what to expect Ill hold onto it and maybe we build it together once hes older to a more historically accurate spec. I added the decals last night, and it jsut got its first coat of clear so once its dry ill attach the polyfil covered cones (smoke) permanently and be done. Hopefully tomorrow I add a third completed kit to this GB!

Ha ha, that looks like a shot from a Youtube disaster video!  Those rocket engines are ON FIRE.  

Diggin' that Saturn V! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Amazing special effects on the Saturn V James!

Glad to see you back on this James!

Welcome to the GB! 

Officially done and installed. Here are some photos. Bonus shots of the artwork I got before my son was even born haha. Good thing he likes space stuff. The smaller posters are actually from NASA. I had an old friend who worked there so he brought me a bunch. The kid astronaut is from an artist I found online. Rob Schwager (Tiny Bird Press)

That's awesome James! I think you will win the 'cool dad of the year' award this time around! Let me know which picture you want to use on the wall.

Apologies for the delayed response. I was on a short trip out of state with the family.

Which ever photo you feel looks best, I dont mind :)

Also the CRX is not up on the wall I posted it a while back.

Hey sorry about that James, I'll get the wall updated today!
