AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Taking in Easter sounds good, how about a month long build (to allow as many members as possible to take part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I've got a house guest during the first week of April, but don't let that dissuade you Unless someone can supply me with the acrylic paints to do a 1:72 Hawk (I have the brush), I'll need to splash some cash on a new kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Black Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I saw this mentioned on the Airfix FB group... sounds like fun. Count me in - I'll grab something suitable from the LMS this weekend. Since I don't own an airbrush (no space, no know-how), hairy sticks hold no fear for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraxinus Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I saw this mentioned on the Airfix FB group... sounds like fun. Count me in - I'll grab something suitable from the LMS this weekend. Since I don't own an airbrush (no space, no know-how), hairy sticks hold no fear for me First post saw the Airfix Facebook comment as well, kit basher & modeller of 'little people' for 35 Years also prefer using 'hairy sticks' to airbrushing, just hate all the prep & cleaning....but I think will miss the undercoat of Halfords grey primer if keeping strictly to the rules....what to build ....easy AW Seahawk I think. I model to relax (though have tonnes of unbuilt kits rarely have the time to build) & will use my first ever group build to help get me back in the kit bashing mood as I have several projects to start this year.

Milo Black Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 All good - I've just checked back on Paul's rule set, and the only things I find mildly spine-chilling are having to use the brush from the kit and no Klear.... but that's not a complaint No plans to do the 1/24 Harrier set over here, that's for sure... likewise I think I'll pass on the Lifeboat/Chopper set (either of which would be eligible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hannants had the Titanic gift set in too.. I think I'll pass, lol I picked up a Triumph TR4A and a Westland Whirlwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickParker Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Just ordered a harrier GR3 from models for sale don't now much about the kit just brought it because i like the plane.Have i made a rod for my own back? As far as paints go can we use additional pots of the same colour ? those pots don't look very big. I don't want to end up with a half painted plane.

fraxinus Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 ah..local modeller ! nice blog(s) too....here's some more for your listing ! Have PM'd you re Headcorn Yup replied and links going on my sites to your superb blogs. For the group back to basics build I've gone fot the AW Seahawk as I mentioned earlier, bought two in fact so 1 for the group build as per the rules and a 2nd one which I will make 'normally' which although will be using a brush, it will have an undercoat of halfords primer first and using a proper chisel edged wide brush....its definitly the painting without primer and with that puny brush which I find 'scary' when do we start???

Bomber_Harris Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Like the sound of this one, I use the little Airfix kits as a distraction when building the bigger stuff. Now all i need is the kit! Are there any dates confirmed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2cko Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Count me in, although I'm off to France next friday for 3 weeks so I may need to smash it out sharpish when I get back D2 Edit to add, I have a 1/32 Aston Martin DB5 that has got this GB written all over it.
