Young Guns Group build Under 18 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (any subject)

yay! I win post # 800!!!!!!!

ok, heres what I think I will do.
Have a poll and let them vote for the best model.
then, let them comment on best aircraft armor etc.
Im going to need everybody to post pics of their builds again, or it would be easier if you could just post the link.

And then if you use fotopic or Photobucket, post the link to your account so that the judgers will be able to see more pics of your build. I thinkI am limiting it down to 2 pics per entry. I might have to go down to one though.

but best model is just too hard. how do you compare a half track dio with a plane? I personally don't think it can be done...

yeah, i think we have many categories and too few entries. mine is sci-fi, so thats yet another category. shows that us young guns are pretty diverse

i say just one poll for the best model of the build. too many categories will cause confusion, since not many models are in the category anyways.

ummm has anyone posted any completed auto pictures?

you could have 1 poll for aircraft, 1 poll for armour, 1 poll for autos.

damn.

I had thought about the poll idea but this is the only problem.
The poll only lets the poster only pic one choice and then they cant vote any more. They couldn't vote for armor and and an aircraft.
If we wanted a multi subject aircraft, armor etc then we would have to have separate polls.
Unless you want to just have plain, best models?
I think this would be better. I think there were only like 3 armor models built. And a few more aircraft. SO this would be one poll.
thats my vote.

im all for the poll idea

how about we post it in the general modeling discussion and use a poll? then everyone can vote and no one is offended.
and rebelreenactor, you cant be in the contest cause your planning this thing just joking.

well, we are going to have to figure this one out. If we choose specific people to judge, others might get offended.

i would nominate pixilator to judge aircraft.

looks like rebel, me, jay, reggie and double d are the only ones still actively in this thread.

sounds fine here. Who's judging? why not rjkplasticmod or tho990 or something? and someone for tanks.

he he, So we should have, like, a best of build (armor and aircraft), a best armor, and best aircraft. Sound good?
oooh, anybody up for a best dio? (I think I am the only one who built one)

looks like me and jay are going head to head here. grrr... lol.

you mean we're seriouly gonna have a contest of our entries to this build? sweet. i'm not sure i understand you correctly, but if you're asking who to ask to judge our entries, we'll have to pick some one who does well at everything.. or we have a representative form each area, like aircraft, armour, etc.

I got the melody, Just never knew the words.
Well, who should I ask now? General modeling disscussion?

eh.... thats alright too! im confident....BRING IT ON!!!! ((inside Dorian's head)) hmmm maybe ill pay off the old farts with promises of extra doses of morphine and prune juice hehehehehhehe)
do u mean the melody or all of the words i have the whole song.... i was just too lazy to type the whole thing...

Im saying, models for the build. But the majority wins soooooo.......
hey double d, thanks for havin the airborne song in your sig, I wonder what the words were

ha!! Chitown is awesome!! they just instated this rule that after u get ur learners permit u have to drive with an adult for 25 hours!! at 16 u get a liscence!! hehehehe....t3488g.. at least u have a car!!! dun have to be fast! my dream is to get a hot rod, and go to my schools parking lot and just do a burn out....i can only dream.......
im willing to get the old farts to judge a contest for us!!! does it have to be the models we did for our GB??? cuz i got some KO's here...!! hehehehehehe

URGHHHHH!!!!! It's already done that in NY!!!!! hmmph...

Oh yea, werent we going to have the older guys judge our builds?
And dio king?Thanks! Well, not so sure though, I'm still trying to figure some techniques out. I need to do an Urban dio too. I cant remember who did it (it was a young gun though), But there was a very nice t-34 dioram with some Russians around it.

Oh, and congratulations on barely making it! They legislature here is trying to make the driving law to age 18 too!

QUOTE: Originally posted by t3488g up here in Alberta you can get you learners permit at 14, and you lisence 2 years after that. the permit requires just a 20 question test, pretty easy, i got 19/20. with a lerners you can only drive if there is somone over 18 with a lisence in the vehicle.

[:0]Dude, Alberta's licensing is soooo easy! crap i wish i was in Alberta. here in BC, we have to wait till 16 to get Learners, which I got just before christmas, and wait ONE year to do the road test. and our Learner knowledge test is 50(!!) questions, and you have to get 80% to pass. But I aced it with 92%.

btw, I am EXTREMELY lucky, because as of the end of February this year, they are raising the minimum age for Learner's license to 18!![:0] and TWO years before one can take the road test! I just made it!

Edit...
Reb, nice diorama! you're the 'dio-king' of the Young Guns! and i'm with you on the empty victory part. Here's an idea: what if us forum Young Guns got together and had a modeling contest? that'll get interesting..

Wow, Over here in California, you gotta be 15 1/2 to get your permit. You must have your permit for 6 months and 50hrs of driving with an adult 25 or older. If I would have got on my case and got my permit last spring, I could be getting my license in February, ohwell

here is a link to a dio I made but never got around to posting pics of. I built it in the Fall for a competition, where it won best of show, next to the 10yr old kids first ever model car. EMPTY VICTORY! I think at the next local competition i'll see if I can enter with the older guys, they usually dont have a lot of armor there. Unless my competition in the juniors catagory is not bad, then I'd enter there.
anyways.

and a teaser.

hmmmph. I, living in NY (with the strictest driving regulations) and being only 14, have a long way to go.

you guys are only getting your lisence now?!! i got mine in may! up here in Alberta you can get you learners permit at 14, and you lisence 2 years after that. the permit requires just a 20 question test, pretty easy, i got 19/20. with a lerners you can only drive if there is somone over 18 with a lisence in the vehicle.

the full drivers lisence requires a road test, the road test is really hard and alot of people don't pass it the first time. i know a guy who took 4-6 trys until he got it. i did it in my mom's malibu, and i was use to driving it so i passed with ALOT of marks. (there is a certian amount of points you have, and they get taken off for doing wrong stuff). i lost some marks on parking, nothing serious, just not straight enough.

i currently drive a 1989 mercury topaz. this is it's site http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/443996/2
at least it runs.... not that fast, but i did beat that same guy (who had troubles passing his test) in a race and he drives a mazda mx3. there was ice, and he stomped on the gas, not wise when there is little traction

when i graduate my parents are giving my a 2001 (i think...) ford ranger.

or is it errrrra?

Over hear in California we dont have a course anymore. It an out on the road test, but from what i hear still very easy.
now what would I rather have, a GTO or an M8???? Well, with an M8, bye bye traffic! But with a GTO, Bye bye speed limit!

Have any of you seen the Movie Full Metal Jacket?
Its got a great boot camp scene that I reccomend you watch..... without your parents near by. (LOTS of cussing, but funny as hell)
or maybe a chevelle with the same results.

i just got my liscence! its awesome! the driving test was soooo easy!! i coulda done that obstacle course in a tank!!! let alone a saturn!!
now i just need a car!!!! my mom still deosnt want to let me use her bmw 3series hehehehe
im just droooooling over some muscle cars( shifter)....some are pretty darn cheap!!
ahhhh i want a car!!! (armored would be nice hehehe) picture....me!! riding an M8 down downtown chicago!!!! hooooooorah!!! (which reminds me..... i was listening to MANCOW (anyone else recieve the show??) and r lee ermey was on....it was pretty invigorating!! he is a great motivator!! oooooooorah!!!

The GB patch works fine for me.

A group build is when several members of the forum build models that are somehow related. In this case we are all under 18 and built models of our liking. It was really cool knowing who was not one of the older guys and was young just like me. This GB is now over, but we are keeping it as a gathering place for all of us young guys. We post pics of our work and just talk about... stuff.
we'd be glad to have another around.

In other news, just took my 1st drivers training lesson. Now I can drive, and on July 6th, I can get my license!!!!! Just in time for a summer job. Now its time to drive with mom and scar the crap out of her.
