                        Well considering the fact that many in this build are also in the D-Day build..and while speaking for no one other than myself- I have 2 planes to build for the D-Day build, we should at least wait until after August 6th for the 'official' start date...although if you've already started (or in some cases- finished!)- just don't show any pics yet.

                        I am unsure what's up with Awasoda and being as I am realy just the aircraft liason, am unsure I want to actually head this build. However-- to provide some sort of order to the disorder, the original intent was to start this one after D-Day (and possibly Normandy) Group Builds had ended- that should then be what happens. That would put us out to 9/11/04...quite a while away I guess.

                        Quick question-- what shall we call this build officially?? I know it's the plane build here, but there are a numer of us aircraft guys building tanks. I named it Backwards Build in the Aircraft section only because we are building opposite of the norm...but I was going to email Lawrence about making it a sticky if we could come up with a feasibe nae for it... the D-Day build has both armor and aircraft guys posting happily together-- maybe it's time we combined once again...

                        It could be called something like the "Flying Treds Group Build" since the flying guys are out building treds and the tred guys are out flying!! Okay, just an idea. Don't shoot me. I'm a little tired today!! lol

                        I think the "offocial date" should be in August. September seems too far away to me.

                        I went back to airplanes not to longago, and noticed what a pain they are, so many seams, no dry transfers, not to much battle damage, no exterior drybrushing, no almost real metal tank treads, the list goes on. I could never turn back. Tongue [:P]

                        I am battling along with my Academy Storch. Some things never change; I was bad at planes 10 years ago and I still am. Mind you, choosing a kit with a canopy like a Storch wasn't the intellectual highlight of my year.

                        It is a bit disappointing for me, at this stage. I was just starting to think of all my favourite planes I could have models of. Reality bites.

                        Great kit though, if you are good at aircraft. I pulled a half finished Lockheed Ventura out to practice my skills on. Perhaps I just need practice...

                        See, if you screw something up on a tanks, call it battle damage or put a tarp over it, not for airplanes. Also, not many diorama accesories are available.

                        That 109 could kill anything..... motivation, interest, will to live.
                        I'm waiting on the Midway SBD but I thought this wasn't a go for a while anyway. Wasn't someone going to rename it and start it up on a specific date?

                        I've started on my Accurate Miniatures SBD-5 with Eduard PE set. I've got the the left and right sidewalls in with most of the PE on them. Next will be getting up the nerve to grind off the beautiful detail on the Accurate Miniatures instrument panel, paint it, and put the Eduard parts on it. YaHa, here I go again!

                        I also picked up an Accurate Miniatures TBM-3D Avenger at Great Models the other day. It was about $18 off retail, and I couldn't pass it by. (Shhhh, don't tell the wife!) But I also picked up a Tamiya 1/35 Willes Jeep, so the light side hasn't sucked me up too badly!! lol

                        Awasoda...

                        I have been answering these types of questions in your stead, but it would really be nice if we could have a concrete start and end date, and a thread started in the Group Builds forum to follow instead of one here and one in aircraft. Especially for those of us who have 2 or more group builds going and no idea which one has the shorter build time. If you could work this out and let us know it would be a bonus. I will send you a list of names of the flyboys doing armor that I have now...

                        I still got my Tiger I, little worse for wear because I moved it to my father in-laws house and they arent used to models. I'll post it when we get the go ahead.


                        this is my Apache from my am group build. I was in 3 (or maybe still am I dont know) builds and got 2 done. Alotta work I wont do that again.

                        Quadmire made us a badge-- what do you guys think?

                        I think the badge is cool. Don't like the Backwards logo, though. Guess it works for the wingy thingy guys, but not how I care to think of this build.

                        Just my opinion. I'll cert6ainly go with the group.

                        Hey, how about the AC/DC build, since we're "swapping currents", so to speak.

                        No complaints from members of the band, now!! lol

                        OK...I have to say this is the most unorganized build I have seen yet. I know Awasoda is busy, but there have been plenty of posts both here and in the aircraft forums in regards to trying to come up with names and start/stop dates. I have tried to keep things going as I think the build itself is a cool concept and took Quagmire up on his offer to create a badge. No one else seems to be interested in getting things going, so I have decided to stop trying myself.

                        I have a Sherman on the docket to build and think I will just do so on my own. I am taking myself off the list on this one...could use the time for the other ones I am a part of anyways. Goodluck to those of you who want this to continue-- but it seems destined to die on the vine.

                        Are you really serious Jeeves... come on. Tell ya all what you take a breather Jeeves and awasoda til you arent so tired of it. I will take over for ya til you are ready. What I will do is i will start here and on the plane forum a seperate thread to get this all in perspective again. I will set the start and end dates (please use these as guides if the actual leaders of the build decide to change them) rules and anything else. I am doing this to support Jeeves and awasoda in this endeaver and to help us all get set up and going.
                        Jeeves where did you get that new sig and what does it mean??
