                        ::snort:: sorry I must have dozed off... put me in for this one... that is if I can build it in conjunction with another GB... that's the only way I think I can carry one through for this...

                        Will let you know later, something related to the Battle for Germany... maybe even the dreaded 1/72 S-100 Schnellboot calling my name to be done, but will surely take months to finish...

                        Well, people, I was going to build that Gans for this group build, but came to find out that the company that makes these "Nitto" will not be making anymore kits so I might just have to save this for a rainy day or if I get hard up I`ll sell it! I dunno, I`ll let you all know soon what Im gonna do for this build.

                        Ahhh vacation... I've heard of that... sometimes! Hope you enjoyed it! Going on one in Sept myself, will be shortened - have to keep some days in hand for next year when the stork will pass, if all goes well.

                        Still not sure what exactly will be on my bench by November, but will keep you posted... Something with 4 wheels that travels fast! Wink [;)]

                        I'm the same actual person who used to be registered as ag918w35, and I'm still the same age, so I'll still be doing the same Churchill, but under this new name. I'd appreciate it if you'd update the front page.

                        Last winter, I started a Hasegawa 1/700 Essex Carrier and recieved
                        an article on how to modify it for accuracy. I forget the sadistic bugger's
                        name who wrote the article, but WHOA! He's got me building single
                        mount 5" gun mounts that are barely 1/8" wide. Naturally I took it further
                        and I put in a hangar deck. Eeeeediot!!!

                        I'm having some diffuculty getting my Banana Hands around some of
                        the photo etched pieces, so I've purchase the Trumpeter 1/350 Essex.
                        I WILL finish the first one though!!!

                        Am I one of the token Shipbuilders?

                        Well, the good news is that I managed to snag a Churchill off of eBay. The bad news is that I actually snagged 2 of them (Crocodile and Mk VII) as well as an M3 Lee - apparently I have no self control!

                        Thinking seriously about going all out on this one, with Model Kasten tracks and some Eduard PE additions. All I have to do is win the lottery between now and Nov 1 Big Smile [:D]

                        Chris, I think you've done it. It will just take a look from Geoff to put you on the list.

                        Welcome.


                        I'm still looking and thinking. I've got SOOOO many to choose from, and getting more all the time, unfortunately. Just got my hands on the new Tristar Pz IVD today. What a kit!!!

                        What does it take to join your group? I'm 43 and I have a stack of started and unfinished

                        Count me in, but I'd better leave it until closer to the date before nominating what I'll build. If I name it now, I'll probably forget by then anyway.
                        Cheers

                        I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

                        Nice badge! Will add shortly.

                        However, I feel a bit sheepish in the context of the OF index... I think I'm by far the youngest fart around in this GB, then. Way too young to know about anything, but willing to learn.

                        Cheers

                        Forgot to ask when does this start??

                        put me down for Monograms B-24J in 1/48. I'll also have a couple of surprise kits for this one also.
