POTKC Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have an absolute ton of Russian and Soviet airliners in the stash, so count me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Depending on commitments.... Hell No!... Sign me up. It will be 48th and vehicular but that is as far as I can decide at the moment. Matt Munro's theme song is one of the best Bond songs IMHO. He didn't do bad on the Italian Job either.

Basilisk Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 When seeing the voting list, I remembered this post Well, it is great to add another six names to the list, bringing the total to 37! Thank you all for showing interest. Now you all have to vote for it to give it a chance - difficult indeed with so many great suggestions in the mix. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 It looks like there is a good chance that this GB will make it into the mix for next year. So many thanks to all who have included it in their votes. With me and Pin being mainly aircraft modellers, it would be great to have an additional co-Host on board who builds earth-bound models - any takers?

Basilisk Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Great, I was hoping you volunteer. So yes, I am gladly have you as a co-host if this GB proposal is staying in the top nine. Thanks, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I thought I had already put myself down for this . For some reason I say to people "I don't really model Soviet stuff". Then I go and make something like a LaGG or Polikarpov. A few times. Then a T-26. Then an R-5. Then I say( "But I don't really model Soviet stuff". My stash is full of all sorts of things with red stars on. I must have been in some kind of denial . Please count me in, it will be something as strange and obscure as possible, by Amodel (I love Amodel); possibly an autogiro .

helios16v Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm in the same boat. I "don't build" Russian stuff.....which in one sense is true.....I haven't yet! But there is getting to be a pile in my stash, MiG-21s (x4), MiG-15s (x3), MiG-29 (x2), Su-24, and a ZSU-23. And I keep looking at others..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yea, there is definitely a certain "appeal" to Russian hardware. Tony, I thought you only build Soviet Stuff helios16v, keep looking, there is some amazing stuff out there and don't forget to vote. No need to add you to the list, BUT this GB is loosing momentum and is in danger of not making it, so don't forget to place your vote so you can build some of your Russian / Soviet stuff in your stash you normally don't build Otherwise you may have to build a Matchbox kit instead and their MiG-21 is - nicely put - not so nice. But hey, it safes you the painting. Thinking about it, that is the ticket for me to actually finish a GB. But on second thoughts, I most likely spend all the time eradicate the famous tram tracks (I think some call them panel lines).

I had another look at my Amusing Hobby kit during the last reorganisation and made distressed noises at the sheer number of bits in the box. I wish Matchbox had done one in 76th, I'd be able to finish that! I may go hog wild with a nice, simple airliner instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I found the picture. It contrasts a bit with Sarge's tank ! We could do a diorama entitled; "Galapogos turtle meets hover-fly" Best regards TonyT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 OKB Grigorov do Objekt 279 in 1/72: http://shop.okbgrigorov.com/product/25/soviet-heavy-tank-object-279.html I have the Takom & Panda 1/35 kits.....Hopefully between the bits in the boxes (& the inevitable aftermarket) I can build a reasonable representation. I reckon you wil need to stock up on brass & solder and have a good chat with our Nige if you are going to go for that autogyro Tony.....I'd trust AModel to mould all those struts nicely about as far as I could spit a rat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I've got the kit Sarge, had it some time, but I haven't even taken the bits out and fondled the plastic. I had best have a look. I bet you're right . Well now it looks like I will have an excuse to join Tony (TheBaron), John (Spadgent), Nigel and the ever growing throng in: 'The Tubebenders and Rodsmelters Social Club'! I can smell hot flux already..! Objekt 279 is pretty imposing to say the least. I love the name, it's almost Sci-Fi: "My home was blown to pieces by Objekt 279" ATB TonyT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yep Sarge, go for it - These tracks should keep you busy for some time 43 minutes ago, Rob G said: I may go hog wild with a nice, simple airliner instead. Rob, it would be great to see some airliners in this GB. 30 minutes ago, TonyTiger66 said: We could do a diorama entitled; "Galapogos turtle meets hover-fly" Tony, I had to LOL on this Maybe we should rename this GB to "Weird and Wonderful" I think Sarge is on the ball regarding brushing up on your soldering skills. But it is a great subject. Cheers, Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I hope it does make it, I've so much to build. If I haven't already started/finished by then I may build the new Neomega Mil-14 conversion, or a Be-10... who knows, so much choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
