The In My Stash GB : Redux

Hey, thanks guys! Who woulda thunk I'd be winning aircraft categories...does this mean I should delete all of the armor from my IMS3 list?

Hmmm... well, maybe not all of it....

I'm still trying to figure out the kits I want you to vote on.  The stash has grown a bit since IMS Redux  How about you guys???

 Lord Kenny the peasents are getting restless

Because I put myself on a buying hiatus and a building binge, my stash is actually smaller than last year.  Once I sorted out the ones I wasn't ready to build, I actually had a hard time coming up with 15.  But I did in the end!

My stash is always growing...actually, I think it has started to self-multiply, because I SWEAR I don't remember buying a couple of the kits in there.

The peasants, indeed, are getting restless!

I had a fun time rooting around looking for some good stuff for you fellas to vote on - tried to mix it up quite a bit...lots of different stuff, lots of different manufacturers. Can't wait! 

I believe we usually start posting our lists in mid-November if I remember correctly. 

my goal this year was to build more than I buy and I was doing really well up until the Vancouver IPMS show.  I got to the vendor tables and I just couldn't help myself .  

Coooooooool!!!

I need to go check my list!!

Hmmmm I wonder if i can put 15 tomcats as my stash???

Hey, if you do, you won't have to worry about waiting for the voting...you know you're building a Tomcat!

Consider me a Tomcat n00b, but aren't there only 4 Tomcat variants (A-D)? What exactly are you going to DO with all of those Tomcats? 

Did I read this correctly? Is the next IMS build on its way already? Don't know if I should say "WooHoo!" or "UhOh!" The B-25 for this build has been whoopin my ***, but if all goes well, I should have it done this week. Deciding to throw accuracy out the window for fun and suggestions from my son turned out to be the kick-start I needed.

I know, I missed the "official" deadline, but at least I'll be done before the end of the next one!

Can't wait for the threepeat to start. I have my 15 pretty much worked out already.

Because this GB ended months ago...?  I dunno, I'm just spitballing here.

The right question is where is Kenny and IMS 3?  He's late on posting it to the GB forum.

the new gb is up and running boys

alot of talk at home and i got invited over for turkey day dinner very surprised by that and she said she is taking one holiday at a time and we will discuss xmas so hope i get home for the holdiays :)

i hope you are all doing well

The completion rate was very high for this build, good going guy's. Looking forward to #3.

Great news Kenny and hope things continue in the positive way.

Wow, that is a pretty good completion rate. So how's this work...are you allowed into IMS3 if you haven't finished IMS2?

See you fellas over there! 

WooHoo! I finally finished the B-25!(well, more or less....needs some minoe touch-ups and weathering)

I'm just glad this one's in the books. I didn't do this one the justice I would have liked, but right now, I'm happy it's over.

I decided to build this one for my son, to replace the one that was destroyed when the roofer came through the ceiling. The seriel # is his b-day (16 November, 1997) and the letters are his initials. I used the chief decals that came with the kit, and hand painted "chief" on the nose because I've always called him chief and he always uses that as a name when he plays video games.

I know there are ALOT of mistakes and inaccuracies on this one, but I'm OK with that.

Here's some pics!

This was a fun GB, and I'm looking forward to the IMSGB3!

Comments and critiques welcome!

That's gorgeous, man!  She really cam together nicely.  Great work.  i'd be very proud of that one if it was mine.

Cool beans!   Nice backstory for the markings as well.  Better late than never!

I thought I was the only one who said that!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

MaxSheridan,

You're the third or fourth forum member I've seen putting their kid's/significant other's name on a WWII aircraft.  I think it's AWESOME.  I've got an 8 month old daughter, and VERY soon, there will be a "Miss Vivian" of some sort on my shelf.  Either a B-24, B-25, A-20G/J, or the like.  It's a VERY cool way to add a personal touch to a kit.  One day, years down the road, I want to be able to show her the kit (I'll put it inside an acrylic case) and say "I made this for you the year you were born."  Great looking B-25 by the way.

Mark, very nice B-25. It turned out great so I dont know where the flaws are. I especially like your personal touch on this one. I have done the same thing on quite a few of my builds. Nice job and well done

Steve
