Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Do you have any sugestions on what kit, i`ve never built a wwI plane?

Alain

The more the merrier, Alain!

triumf, it looks like you have one GB badge under another one. Try eliminating the <enter> between the two links and replace it with a <space> instead. That should put one next to the other with a small gap in between.

If i`m not to busy with college in october, i would like to join a wwI biplane GB

Alain

Darren fixed mine and thanks.

Roy

Hi again mates...

one silly question from a dummie here: How the heck do I get the GBbadge down where all you have it...? I`ve tried and tried, but could`nt fix it...Boy, do I feel now

That is cool.

Dave, waikong came up with an idea of "Knights of the Sky" for the GB name. I think it's a cool idea, so if our leader OK's it, then it could be a go.

Congradulations Roy   too bad about the having to move part though.  Did that two years ago and vowed never to do it again (ya right)!!

After 16 years of being a professional musician my wife is finishing up her teaching degree so that she can teach music in the schools.  I think she is nuts, all you teachers have my highest regards for the difficult work that you do!!!   

(I know this becasue I was one of the difficult ones )

EDIT

OOPS:  FRANK  If you tell me what you want on the GB badge I'd be happy to whip something up for you.

Thanks everyone.

Roy

Way to go, Roy! Congrats on the new job, and I hope the move goes smoothly for you!

...and congrats to you too, buddy, on starting your GB! Should be a good one!

Congrats Roy!  Now I'll have a friend in Florida, so I have another reason to vacation there!

Thank you guys, I accept the nomination!  I will take charge of this WWI Gb, and post it over in aircraft and the GB forums.  I was thinking October 1st 2007 to October 1st 2008?  Does that sound Ok with everyone?  Hopefully, someone with some badge skills could help out with the badge, as I have no experience with it.  I'm so excited to start a GB!!!

Now hears this, I have just accepted a teaching job in Jacksonville Florida I will be teaching Middle School science.  So I am moving after all.

Roy

I second that

Roy

I did another search and it seems there was a GB, biplanes and triplanes any era.  So in a way we are a first in this group.

Roy

Looks like we're getting a lot of early support for this GB idea, so should we start a new thread about it here on the GB forum? If so, I'd nominate Frank to get it going, since he came up with the origional idea.

Excellent, Dave! Glad you want in!   & that dio sounds like an awesome idea!

Come to think of it, I remember seeing group badges for a GB along the same lines as this one also. But hey, that doesn't mean we can't start another one, right?

The WWI GB idea sounds great. I picked up 6 1/72 Revell Camels awhile back for a buck each on clearance.  The price was right and I was thinking they would look great in a dio (very ambitious I know).  They are pretty basic but I know with this group I'll pick up plenty of tips on how to dress them up a bit.  I have never done a bi-plane either!

Oh BTW, there was a bi-plane GB awhile (year and a half?) back but I don't think it was exclusively WWI.

I did a search of the group builds and it looks as if ours will be the first WW1 biplane GB.  That sounds like a great time.  Who will make the badge?  My vote would be Mike, any second on that? 

Roy

Sounds good to me to, guys!  Glad you're in, Darren & triumf ! 

Aaaaack! I just had a frain bart!

If we are all building biplanes for that GB, we could call it the "Putting wings on top of other wings" GB.....OK, I know that's a blatant rip-off of an old Monty Python sketch, but I just couldn't resist!

Sounds like a plan.

The more I read about this idea for a GB the better I like it! The timing sounds good too. This way everyone who's moving (you have my sympathies because I know how much work it involves ) will be settled into their new digs with their brand-spankin' new work areas just achin' for some action  ...& don't forget that we were are all newbies at one time or another. I'm going to try to dig up a pic of my first biplane, which was an Eduard Nieuport 17. The pic quality may not be that great, but that's OK...it'll hide all my screw-ups!

Hi ya`ll mates

First and foremost I`d like to thank ya`ll for the fine and kind comments on my builds.

Some rreal stunning pics on that Hanriot, looks awesome

And on the other side, I`d love to see a WWI GB for dummies appear during the autumn and winter(northen hemisphere of course) as I just recently bought me a duo combo kit of Eduards Pfalz I think it was to forget a thing like that. I have never done an effort in WWI planes so it would be a welcoming distraction for me. Have previously done a biplane, AMs F3-2 which was a nice kit,with some profound language from my part, have also started on Rodens Gladiator,which I have planned as a plane from the norwegian armys aviation corps(hærens flyvevesen) during the german assylt on Norway april 9. 1940, but thats on backburner waiting for me to come up with a clever idea on how to get some fonts for the special numbers we did use in those days., and of course the rigging which can become a pain in the ***

By the way, anyone who got any idea on Hobbyboss`Rafaele??? I`ve just ordered it with the plan for one in norwegian service,noe I`m bound to get kicked out of my home:), And of course if someone should happen to have a drawing og two of how the tsr2 would have looked in australian or canadian service I would have been much obliged as I plan to do one of my tsr2s in a canadian or australian service ca 1990-2000 ad.

So long mates
