The Velociweiler Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi all. My apologies for my late arrival here as co-host. The start of the GB coincided with a lot of other problems which had to be sorted, and trying to get a new Broadband line into my new home turned out to be remarkably difficult. I'll also be putting together some prizes for the GB in the coming weeks. Very many thanks to mrvr6 and Mark Marples for their work in keeping this GB going.

Neal Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just been looking down the group build treads, there's a great range of subjects there now. I think most of the seminal big films & TV series are covered and there's a broad range of approaches and techniques being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Velociweiler Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just saying... an open invite to join the GB if you still wish. There's still four weeks to go so if you want to join in, please feel free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Question, reading the rules I see rockets, probes and space shuttles are potentially allowed. How about a Mercury Redstone rocket? Reason I ask is I just picked up the new Dragon 1/72 kit and fancy doing it as Al Shephard's Freedom Seven. But, could I fit it in even if it is technically more science fact than SF? Some might think Al was a Super Hero. Or I suppose I could enter it on the basis that the movie "The Right Stuff" probably had just as much fiction in it as fact. Anyone?

If you want to do the build, please go ahead - I'd be interested to see details of the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Didn't know this was on, or I'd have joined it sooner. Do you guys mind if I throw in my Eta 2 interceptor? I've already put up a thread in Sci-Fi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry on this occasion but you can still get a new one started and finished tho'. Nearly two weeks to get one into the mix! You'd be perfectly welcome?

Gibbs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ah, ok no probs, might have time for Obi Wan's fighter, I'll let you guys know. Thanks for the reply though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just had a flick through the final gallery, there are some cracking models in there, I can't honestly decide which is my top one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb13 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yep, there really are some excellent builds, well done everyone! And for those who didn't quite manage to get theirs done, hoping to see them in the SciFi forum soon... J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Velociweiler Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi all - just a quickie. I'll get the poll for the winner up and running later either today or tomorrow - got a lot on my plate until this afternoon. Have a nice day all.

spitfire23bc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So many good models; how do I choose? Can't I vote for all of them!? My Viper will make it's may to the SciFi section at some point, never fear! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hmmm, I'm gonna have to ponder on this for a few days. Gonna be a tough decision choosing a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
