Mike the most recent pics are on page 110.

PAGE 110?  My goodness, that was while back Richie. LOL

I'm looking forward to seeing more WIP pics of that one too!

Hey guys- we are starting up the Bomber Command Group Build at the other forum. How's about we all do this together, in both locations.

Frank- can we use the badge?

Bill

Bill,

I shall have to pass on the Bomber GB this time around, as I have already commited to a few other GB's.  Feel free to use the badge as you please!

NAMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Where are you mate????!!!!! We gots another GB theme going!!!! That and we bloody well miss you!!!!!!!

I'm in Capn Billy.  Can I use my unfinished Lanc from the Matchbox GB?

Cap'n Bondo I will post pics of my Revell Lancaster if I ever get started on it, builds keep getting shunted about at the mo .

Cheers...

Well Frank since we are keeping this going over here too & it looks like the site is working better, I would like to post my completed build.

Well I am calling this one done. I am happy with the results from my first completed build. I know I over did some of the weathering and learned many things about painting, decaling & finishing on this build.
I did add cut brass for the gun barrels.

But to much Rambling on...BRING ON THE PICS!!!! :D

D >:(ng It!! I just noticed in the pics that somewhere between glueing on the pitot tube & 8 hours at work then to the photo session ...it has gone MIA :-[.Hopefully I will find it.

Thanks for all the great comments and help on this build.

Cheers & Semper Fi-Jason

Jason, NICE to see your Hellcat again!!!! Honestly I don't think the weathering is overdone at all!!! Just hardworking before the paint had a chance to fade giving it the impression of being pressed into combat immediately and being a workhorse!!! Beautiful work!!!

Yes Jason good to see it again, you did a very fine job. Was this the Eduard or Hasegawa kit? I have these markings for the Eduard kit and plan to do it one day, I just hate spraying white stripes!!

Cheers...

Well done Jason, I like it a lot!  The extreme weathering is very good, as it should be on a Pacific bird IMHO.  Thanks for the pics!

Thanks Gents.

Ths was the Hasegawa 1/48 kit.

Frank- I just wanted to make sure I finished an aircraft for this group build, I have been apart of it since I joined FSM and had not finished anything for it. So now I have something finished and can get it updated on the main page...lol.

Cheers & Semper Fi-Jason

LOL, sorry Jason!

You'll need to hunt down Darren (Tango1) to update page one.  I think he pops in over at Swanny's, though I do not know for sure.

Yes darren does hang out there now , but haven't seen him for a few weeks now.

Wow, is this group build still going?

I don't know if you  guys remember me, but I was part of the very first FAA GB. How is everything going?

Well, sort of.  A lot of the crew left last December when FSM changed the forums.  There are still a few of us here, however.  Of course I remember you!  I also remember that I had your name for the first gift exchange, and the USS Indianapolis I gave you was the only one of the gifts finished!  I liked it very much.

Hallo Chaps!

Just a quick fly-by to see how things are going. My, my..........it is quiet around here.

Good morning CAG!  Glad to see you out and about.

YAYYYYYYYY CAG is back!!!!!! Contrary to popular belief this ship ain't sunk yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear from you Darren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see you CAG, come fly by more often .

Cheers...

Good to see you back Darren. 

Thanks Chaps!

I'm still not sure I like the new FSM decor, however our X/O suggested I have a quick look around. I don't have a lot of spare time these days, so builds are completed at a slow pace.

I'm currently working on a 1/35 diorama of British Paratropers in Arnhem, a 1/48 RAF Typhoon F/A.2 and some sci-fi projects that all began last year. Each one gets worked on as and when time allows. I do miss our merrymaking , I will try to pop in more often.

Hope all of you are happy and well. Good Health and Good Hunting!

CHEERS!

Right!  Good to see you out and about Sir.  It has been a bit quiet of late around here.  Still, there still are a few of us on board to keep the ship ready for duty should the need ever arise.  I hope you do not mind, but I changed the title in this post from "decommission" to "reserve".  If it is alright with you, I have an F/A-18 and an F-14 to build starting sometime this week and will post WIP pics here.

OOOOOO Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on those builds Frank!!!!

Mmmmmmm............................F-18 and F-14? C' mon Frank!!!! Lets see those bad boys!

FLY NAVY!

Yes sir!

Just bought these on Ebay, hope to have them in my hands later this week!

Frank what are you doing??????????? Is this how you are going to whiz through builds from now on????? Making them so tiny and no props to deal with????? Honestly looking forward to seeing your work on them after seeing your 262 twins!!!!

Thanks Richie!  Yep, got some of these little birds on the bench at the same time as their big brothers.  Helps keep me focused on the long term projects (read: every build I do!!!) to have smaller ones I can crank out fairly quickly.

Good idea!! Maybe have to do that........that's a BIG maybe!! No wait that's not big.......

Frank I cant wait to see you work your magic on that pair.

CAG you should post some WIP somewhere over here when you get the chance, I'd love to see them.

Cheers...
