Super Detail Group Build 1st November to 30th April 05

QUOTE: Originally posted by nicholma Originally posted by fiasco Has anyone ever done a cutaway on a model, I'm thinking of doing it on the Bf109. I notice theres an article on it in FSM this month, but the mag comes out later in the month in the UK so I've not read it yet. I'm just wondering if itll be beyond my ability, or should I give it a try anyway? Hmmmm... Tamiya(?) I believe made a cutaway Zero a few years ago; I just saw it in my hobby shop a few weeks ago.

Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 1:14 PM I know the feeling! I started an EE Lightning back in August thinking I'd get it built and out of the way before this GB starts. Now its November and its still primer grey!!! Where did September and October go? Reply djmodels1999 Member since December 2002 From: United Kingdom / Belgium Posted by djmodels1999 on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 11:48 AM I forgot about this GB..! Gosh, so many GBs so little time! Good thing my IS-3 has been started 6 years ago.. LOL..! I'll be re-starting it after Mad Allied Day this week end. It is a Mad hobby! Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 11:36 AM This GB has now started. I've got quite a busy schedule til the end of Nov so I'll update when I can.

To join this GB you don't have to do anything really fancy. Its a place to learn those scratchbuild techniques and share them with others. Feel free to get on board! Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Friday, September 17, 2004 1:25 PM I've just managed to get hold of a copy of this months fsm. The cutaway 109 is truely amazing. I think I shall be a bit less adventurous and just have a go at exposing the cockpit area....hmmmm Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Wednesday, September 15, 2004 3:56 AM No problem. If things quieten down later in the year feel free to come back! Thanks for posting Reply zokissima Member since July 2003 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Posted by zokissima on Tuesday, September 14, 2004 11:02 AM Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, since this month is turning out to be a lot busier with school and work that I thought, I'm going to have to drop out of this GB. Sorry guys, and I hope the rest of you have fun with it.

I can get references online, and I will use the recent issue of Tamiya Model Mag as a guide, as I can work from some of the details I see from there. AFV Modeller magazine did an extreme detail walkround feature on the Chally 2 in issue 17. Well worth a look! Reply zokissima Member since July 2003 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Posted by zokissima on Friday, September 10, 2004 8:55 AM The commonwealth GB is going to start shortly.

I've attempted to find update sets, but all I found was one from Accurate Armour, and that is a little too pricey for me, so I will be replacing as many parts as I can with scratchbuilt ones.

I've read the article a couple of times and it looks to me as though its all in the planning and research to ensure you have enough information. I think time lines have to go out the window too as it would be too easy to short cut. But like you I'm very tempted and this is just the place to do it as you'll get heaps of encouragement and help Kia ora, Mark "Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas" Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Wednesday, September 8, 2004 7:47 AM Has anyone ever done a cutaway on a model, I'm thinking of doing it on the Bf109.

Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 2, 2004 8:26 PM awesome news guys! Revell just released two 1/6engine kits. one is a Ford 427 SOHC and a Chevy 350. im switching over to the cammer for this GB for sure, and who knows. i might do the 350, too. im only switching because ive always wanted to do an overhead cam eginne and it should be a little more readily available than the 283. later. Jon Reply Edit fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Wednesday, September 1, 2004 10:32 AM Good on yer SeaBee! Thats what this GB is about, I'm sure both u and I will learn a bit from those more experienced in PE (I'm hoping so anyway!) Reply SeaBee Member since March 2004 From: Paarl, South Africa Posted by SeaBee on Wednesday, September 1, 2004 9:52 AM If you won't laugh too loud for a novice (who am I kidding, beginner!) in PE, I'll join as well. Can't nominate a kit yet, as I've got a few options open and I won't be able to start November. What I can tell, is that it will be a racing car - very likely either the D2 Merc DTM or the see-though Ferrari F2002 (F1) with SMS PE set.

Not many ships get built in these GB so heres something a little different.. I can't start until the new year though. So fiasco add my name to the list please Kia ora, Mark "Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas" Reply fiasco Member since April 2003 From: East Midlands UK Posted by fiasco on Monday, August 30, 2004 3:52 PM Excellent DJ, glad to have you aboard!
