Smiffy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Awww... go on then, you'd better stick my name down. I can't not join in on this one, seeing as the Lanc is of very special interest to me. I've got a lot to choose from, so I'll have a think about which kit/version I'm gonna do . At the moment, I'm leaning towards a Hase ASR Mk.III, but that may change.

Danny Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 May I join in please? As long as they don't have to be completed in the next few weeks I hope to complete a few I have two B.I's that have stalled (due to a posting and buying a house), another I'm very keen to start, one I may be building for a work project and I treated myself to a Lincoln conversion for Christmas if that's allowed?

Danny Hi Danny How far along are the started builds? No problems with the unstarted kits, but I'm trying to keep started ones below 30% completed to be eligible.

No problems with the unstarted kits, but I'm trying to keep started ones below 30% completed to be eligible. Antony Hi Antony, Both are well below the 30% mark. I've painted the floor and modifed the Wireless Operator/Nav's bench on one (which is the Hasegawa kit) while the second is the Revell kit and I've painted the seat so far. I'd started them six months ago but put them to one side as that's when I was posted and haven't done any more work to them since because house hunting, work and detachments have gotten in the way. I've overseas at the moment but I hope to get back to my modelling in Feb - to say I've got itchy fingers is an understatement!! Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony Robertson Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi all Does anyone know the best way to get hold of the BBMF or anybody on here who may be involved in it at all? Thanks Antony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowmk9 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I can't help on the BBMF front I'm afraid. I was wondering though, how long is the SIG going to run for (he says, eyeing a potential new project...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks Antony, I also just noticed the dates are on the GB thread title.

Thanks Antony If it's to look around the Lancaster then the best way would be either to visit the visitor centre or contact them at RAF Conningsby I'd have thought.

John Laidlaw Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi Antony, A bit slow noticing this (par for the course with me ), but was wondering if I could join in with a 1/72nd Hasegawa B. Mk.I/Mk.III? Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Laidlaw Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks Antony! I've just cleared the purchase of the Eduard Big Ed PE set with the lovely wife/CFO, and I'll start a build thread as soon as the work area's clear. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowmk9 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Hi Antony, I did decide to join in the fun! I've started a thread for a B.I from 106 Sqn. You can put my name in the list too if you like Also, has anyone done any GB banners? I can whip a few together but if anyone else has got some on the go? Possibly a little thread in the important topics section would be a neat idea. Edited January 16, 2011 by rowmk9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Bloody hell, didn't notice this until today. Would a Manchester conversion count in this ? I've ordered the HBM conversion set from Smudge and if I have time, would like to partcipate. If not I can always get my Dambuster done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
