Heh Heh, already started...but when you have 40 plus 1:350 scale airplanes to build,
paint and decal (DEE-cal) you need all the help you can get. Big Smile [:D]

Ah, that's the easy part. You remember where you put your whatchamacallit... ehhhrr... oh yeah, kit. Build it, have fun, share experiences.

For this one you have to be 35 or older, of course. And we start at 1 Nov. Can't remember the deadline! (If there is one) Should be on page 1, though.

Bottom line: have fun and share!

Thank you René - I'm not the only auto guy! *phew*

Richard.. as a Dauntlessphile I think I have to get out to ebay and look for that kit... I'm on my 7th AccMin SBD starting soon and that 1/32 would be just the monster to set the ever growing collection off! I'll be watching the build to see how it goes!

I would like to join in. I decided to do it one better by building an original Aurora kit from 1964. The 1/25 Maserati 3500 GT, it will be like I am 8 all over again as I built this kit originally in 1971. Here is to having fun in Modeling! Hurray! Rene'

4Sure,

No, premature construction is a problem we just have to accept as we get older.

Well, seeing it is almost time to start this build I have finally chosen something to do. Being that it is an "OLD" Guns GB I will be building an "OLD" model. It is the Matchbox 1/32 scale SBD-5 Dauntless.

After becoming uset to kits like Trumpeter and Hasegawa and the like I am sure this Matchbox will be a challenge but that is what modeling is all about. See you in a couple ao weeks with the start.

I'm still here. Did I join this already?, I can't quite remember. I vaguely remember joining a group build once before but I'm not sure about it now.

Well done, Joe! I wanted to "up" it a bit too, but could not find the GB entry! Must be the eyes... Wink [;)]

TankerGeoff, I have not yet finalised my "entry" yet. I will be doing a S27 Renault R25 F1 for the F1 GB, but will also be starting a new bike shortly. It will most likely be a rather unorthodox "tribute to Rossi" Repsol Honda RC211V. So either that or a Subaru WRC (2004). I will be working on both soon, so if you want to choose for me, feel free. Otherwise the Subaru might also be "disqualified" anyways, since I actually started on it and put it away before completing step 1!

Anyways, I will be working on all three shortly, if there's a preference as to what you'd like to be included as part of this GB, I've got no probs...

What kind of airbrush do you use? And do you use Enamels or Acrylic?
I've got an Iwata HP-A and C. I get more use out of the C though. I have
a problem airbrushing the enamels because of the ventilation issues.
Gasp!!!

Still here, back from holiday!

My airbrush, though, has sadly now finally given up the ghost...

I'm still here as well. Based on this weekend's attempt to use my airbrush on a Sturer Emil,. it's probably a good thing that my eyesight is going. I'm still looking to do the Stuart for this build when it starts.

My doctor just called me this afternoon and told me my biannual stress test has been postponed for 3 weeks. Fed DOT won't renew my physical until I get that test done.
Da _ _ it is H _ _ _ to get old. Now where did I hide my lazy boy recliner, I need a nap.
I'll have to have the wife warm up the hot pad to put on my arthritic knee. Let me think for a minute, wern't we supposed to be talking about a group build or was that "well built" as in 36-26-38?

I'm still here (and apparently, I'm still old), so I guess I'm still in Big Smile [:D]

I am going to switch my choice of kit from the Churchill to my new AFV M3A3 Stuart, since the Churchill is going to be the subject of the Novice Builders GB starting shortly.

hmm I should have saved that P-26A from Hasegawa for this one.... got it off Ebay, it was a 1970's mold.. It was in the same condition, yellowed box, decals yellowed etc. Better yet would have been the late 60's mold of the OS2U I had... it had the "Yellow Submarine" decals and chrome exhausts that looked like they came off a Peterbilt in case I wanted to 'mod it" Definitely a flower power build.

I'm in just still deciding on what to do, it might be one of my simpler Academy 1/72 kits to save time. Around November is when a couple of GB's I am in will be starting up..

Here is my kit Tankergeoff. An old kit for the Old Guns GB. Hasegawa 1/72 Tiger 1E (early). It's not really that old but still the box is musty, decals and instructions are yellowed, and it's the old style box. Cool [8D]
