QUOTE: Originally posted by razordws Oooo!! Love the Arrow badge great idea but perhaps a red background or at least a border. What is that Blue thing in your Signature? Oh... Ewwwwww!!!!!!

Originally posted by jboutin After some brief discussion, it sounds like a good idea to start this in the Fall of 2005 So am setting a start - end of Sept 01 to Dec 31 2005. Here is a list of those interested so far: Jboutin, I did some looking around and I'm a definite. I will be building one of the CF-104 kits from Hasegawa in 1/72.

So after seeing what you came up with for badges, this is what I had in mind I like the idea of the arrow badge. This way people have a choice as to what subject they are doing. Obviously each image is Canadian, the ship is the HMCS Iroquois (as if you can't tell!), the planes, are obvious a CF18 and Avro Arrow and the armour is a Lav25. Hope you guys like it. Maybe someone should make an executive decision?

I think we should use the basic frame as the standard and then let everyone insert a picture of whatever they are building. Like this for mine except I changed the text to make it more readable (but will change it back if you don't like it). If anyone needs help editing the badge with their own picture I'd be glad to help.

Okay everybody. Do what Razor did above and put in a pic of what you are building, or just use one of the badges that have been offered, which ever you like. (I would suggest using the frame Razor did up as mine the words are kind of fuzzy) hmmm... 6 months till the GB, I don't know if I can hold it until then, I'm so looking forward to this one.

Me either... but I have the advantage that if I intend on doing the Lancaster from Hasegawa it won't be out until September. You know you could do a pre-build warm up like they did in the Battle of Britain GB! It's not like you have anything else on your plate !!

Then all the things that come with being a new home owner, like yard work etc in the summer. My wife kindly asked "do you really think you'll have time to model this summer?" ...little does she know... Anyway Dave, could you take these images and put them into badges for me, my software is a little archaic (MSpaint) I wanted to see what they look like. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/jboutin/boly4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/jboutin/blenheim4.jpg JAY - fighting evil since 2:15pm, July 8,1976 - Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Friday, March 18, 2005 10:50 AM QUOTE: Originally posted by razordws QUOTE: Originally posted by jboutin hmmm... 6 months till the GB, I don't know if I can hold it until then, I'm so looking forward to this one.

First of all, Congrats on the new house but secondly... sounds like you are going to be getting up in the middle of the night after your wife is asleep to get any modeling done. Hope you don't get caught . LOL How long did you say you've been married? Here are your badges you requested.

(I tried to do it in paint but it came out blocky and ugly, what did you use, corel?) I like your new sig patch btw. My wife and I are coming up to our 8th anniversary! WOW time flies when you're haveing fun. Also, technically our house isn't new it was built in '97 but it is the first house we own, er ...that we pay the bank for the right live in it! I'm actually looking forward to making the place "Ours". talk2ul8r JAY - fighting evil since 2:15pm, July 8,1976 - Reply razordws Member since September 2004 From: Vernon, BC, Canada Posted by razordws on Friday, March 18, 2005 10:02 PM I use photoshop for the image editing. One of the Perks of my profession! I'm coming up on #15 myself!! Last thing I remember was saying "I do" and all of a sudden and 3 kids later I'm wondering wha' happened!!

I think I will do my Beaufighter as a warm up build over the summer. The Arfix kit even comes with Canadian decals so I think'll I'll try to use them.

Hopefully I have time to finish (most of) the other GB's I'm in! So, may I join! For this GB, I will build a 1/72 Italeri #084 kit as a Bell CH-146 Griffon in SFOR/CF service in Bosnia.

Probably the voodoo, since I've been wanting to build it for ages, and finally found 2 kits in one weekend on a trip.

Matt, did I say mig-21? I think I had a big brainfart or something, I have a mig-23, not a mig- 21! I think the voodoo will be really cool! I built one in a previous life...

I've an Italeri M113A1 mouldering on the shelf here. A while ago I did one up (I think it was a Tamiya) as a Canadian Forces, Europe, but it died when my nephew got it. This one'll be a UN Peacekeeping APC; I figger also the paintjob'll be simple, at least. Lots of ejector marks tho'... bah. I will survive. Reply Swedish Mick Member since January 2005 From: Kopparberg, Sweden Posted by Swedish Mick on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 1:36 AM @ jboutin: You can add a another helo for me! It will be a 1/72 Italeri #185 kit as a Bell 206B CH-139 Jet Ranger in markings of ONUCA/Canada during UN service in Honduras.

BTW hows the move going? when do you head out to the interior of BC?

Okay, its not really as fun as I thought it would be but keeps it where people will see it. Dave Reply gdarwin Member since January 2004 From: bc,canada Posted by gdarwin on Thursday, April 14, 2005 4:15 PM yes ,if it gets beried to far in the pile we will never find the build. airborne death from above http://photobucket.com/albums/a350/roygd/ Reply 1234567»Last » JOIN OUR COMMUNITY!
