Ok, what do you want to build? Star Wars, Trek, Macross?

I vote for some sort of armored suit (of course Laugh [(-D] ).

What about a general Military Sci-Fi group build.  It could include armored suits, fighters, sci-fi tanks, warships, etc...

If that would work better for some and get them to join in on the fun I would not be against it. would be kinda cool to see an X-wing in WWII US Navy or US Army colors.

sounds good to mee its settled then one rule in the story of what ever you are building, the good side gets the allies colors, bad side gets axis colors. Does that sound fair to everyone

This sounds cool.  Unfortunately I have no idea what the color schemes were for WWII armies.  But theres a whole group of people a forum click away that can help with that.  What would be the start and end dates?  And can anyone make one of those cool icons for the signature line?

I said WWII because it had the most variety for camo and such.  Modern armor is just... tan... not to much fun.  But I like the X-wing idea, I always thought it would be cool, because, why do nations have to stop being nations once we get into space.  Why wouldnt the Us have space fighters?

I agree.  Shows like Star Wars and Star Trek assume that to get that level of technology the world would have to be working together for the resources, or else that we would have to reach that level before we wouldn't just kill ourselves with the technology.  But no one shaows what it would be like at first.  I mean we could have space fighters in 50 years or a little more.  But we certainly won't have put all our differences aside and made one big nation by then.  So space fighters in country colors would be awesome.

How much time do we all need to get our kits together? Me personaly, I can get whatever kit I choose rather quick considering how close all my hobby stores are to the base over here. as for those of us who dont know what WWII colors are, thats what this site and Google are for.Big Smile [:D]

OK, how does this sound,

 

Build starts off on 7\15\08 and runs until 7\15\09.

 

Rules are as follows, kit may not be started already when build begins- must be new or just one in your stash that you had been meaning to build but didnt have a plan for yet.

For what ever story your kit is from, good guys= Allies, Bad guys= Axis(not the gundam Axis. sorryWink [;)]).

 Post WIP and keep updated. once you decide on a kit let whoever ends up posting the GB know so they can put it on the front page of our GB thread.

May join at any time as long as you folow the rules and are finished by the end date.

 

GB logo may be posted in Signature box AFTER completion of kit. also more than one kit is aceptable as long as you can finish all on time.

 

Did I leave anything out that you all wanted to add? If so let me know.

 

Jason

I watched an army ad, and I got the distinct impression that they were talking about 'combat missions in space' So it doesnt seem that it is that far of a stretch that we would have space fighters.

 

Anyhow, why dont we start it sooner.  This kit I am working on could EASILY be made into a Axis kit (I'm doing a zimmerit thing with a gundam) and I wouldnt mind doing it.  I dont want to finish it before the start deadline though.

I'm cool with that.  I was hoping the deadline wouldn't be like sept 1st.  I cant wait to pick out something.  What about kits that aren't obviously good or bad?  Like Armored Core?  Can you just pick a side and declare which one you want?

I went to Parris Island of course! LoL! As for what my job or MOS as we call it, I am a 2147, for those who dont know what that is its an Light Armored Vehicle mechanic, or just simply an LAV mech.

 

I am going to take the time to figure out just what I want to do for this GB and what posible color sceams I can come up with. also I am going to slap the 1\100 Over Flag from Gundam 00 that I got a few months back. And yes I'm a bingin the camera so as I can document it all. Lets see how far I can get done on this kit in just 3-4 days.Big Smile [:D]

ok guys, heres the dirt.

First of those two kits, I dont know the second one, the raiden armor.  the first one is a Gundam Hard Graph kit.  There 1/35 and fall together like simlified WWII armor kits.  While they are snap together they are only guildes, so more gluing then normal bandai kits.  The figures are nicley molded.  The anti Ms team has some really nice poses in it.

 

As far as armored core goes.  The kits are extremly nice to look at, but to build, they are hell, tons of really tiny pieces all over the place.

 

as far as having fun for you on the 4th, Will do!  I'm a bell ringer for the 4th celebration in wilmington.

CJ that Raiden Armor looks cool.  I've never heard of it before, but if you get it you've got to let us know how it is cause I'd get it if it's good.  And it's not expensive either.
