Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Good gravy you fellas have been BUSY!!!  I come home from work and there over 30 new posts! 

Darren- Those are some PHENOMONAL builds mate!  Especially that F-14- I love that one!  WHen I am done typing this, I am gonna go back and drool over it some more.  And, great job on the badge- you got my vote!

As for the rum, I'll take two!  A bit of a rough day.  Had to spend a good amount of time at the Urgent Care getting my thumb fixed.  I tell ya, work injuries are terrible!  Prolly gonna slow down my building for a few days, but I hope to be back building this weekend!

Nice job on the USNFAWGB post! (page 1)

Lieutenant......heck! I've been promoted......but I know how to drink....it's modeling I'm learning! 

Darren, how is the Wii?  My wife said that if I ever buy a game system it will be the Wii.

The badge looks very cool

Roy

Thanks a bunch for the birthday wishes guys It's much appreciated

Unfortunately for my modeling SWMBO and the kids also bought me Resident Evil 4 for the Wii which I have been playing non-stop every night this week and it's just awesome .  As you can tell from my sig I'm a little partial to zombie stuff and RE4 really fits the bill .

Darren I just checked page 1 and for some reason that I can't even remember now, I posted the first message on this thread so if you want the title changed to the USN Fleet Air Wing GB 08 - 09 then let me know and I'll edit the title on the existing thread.

Cheers all

To the Commander, Hip Hip haray

3,000 post on the GB, we the man!

Gentlemen,

those who have been crazy  brave enough to engage in the USNFAWGB have had their names added to our illustrious roll of honour on page one.

If anyone else would like to join us in April 2008 for the great builds, great pals and great laughs.........let us know. All you need is a kit, some glue, some paint and a sense of humour.

See you on the deck...................

Mike, If we ask REALLY nice, will you PLEASE build the F4-B with the VF-84 markings?  PRETTY PLEASE?

 Mike, you gotta build that F-4B!  A Navy Phantom in VF-84 markings?

Yeah baby!

I think I would like to joint in for the USN group build too. Put me down for a 1/48 scale F9F Panther. I know I know doesn't count but I also have a model of the light carrier USS Independence.

Darren, can you change me from undecided to 1/48 Sea Hawk on the first page please
