richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Ive noticed over the past few months there has been alot more Airliner modelers on here. Anyone else fancy a GB? Could do a theme (737, Airbus, British etc) Edited January 27, 2010 by richellis
AnonymousDFB1 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Funny enough I was having the same thought last night. Probably not one I would join in unless I could get hold of some wacky decals. As always 12 to 15 members declaring a build and a couple of hosts and we can sort something.
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Im happy to host. Dunno what that means or what I need to do tho!
Kev1n Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 so....how does this work? everybody in a group builds a bit of it?
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 you build your own along side other people. Usually there is a theme ie, all build a 737. You in?? if your unsure have a look at the other GBs that are running at the momant. If we get enough people well vote on the theme and then a date is set and off we go!
Kev1n Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 ok...so I build one and everybody else builds one?....yeah if I've got one, I'm in
The Velociweiler Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'm in. My personal suggestion would be 'Tri-Jets'.
Mike Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Ive noticed over the past few months there has been alot more Airliner modelers on here. I noticed that too... You should definitely brow-beat Stringbag to join in with the fun, as he's a keen airliner fan. He's actually been threatening to give me an airliner to build (I think?), so if he follows through on the threat, I might join in too. You need to speak to Mish about the green lighting and scheduling of the GB though, which I'd do asap if I were you, to book a slot
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Im seeing if its worth it, wasnt sure how meny people would join. Seams to be going OK tho!
Erwin Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) If you narrow it down to one particular type then there might not be that much responce. On the other hand. If you open it to "Airline,all eras" then you could get a lot more interest. Don't forget there was a lot of airline trafic with prop-planes in the 30's that could be build too. Edited November 16, 2009 by Erwin
Stebos Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 hmmm, I don't have any 'modern' airliners but I certainly have civil markings for stuff that blends the boundaries. A few 'what if's' as well. I was just thinking last night that a GB with a heavy 1/144 focus might be neat. Count me in if you go for a more open category of passenger aircraft/airliners of all eras, but I've nothing that can fit into a jetliner GB.
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Ive not got any ideas but am happy for an anything goes in Civvy/ airliner colours. I fancy a tristar in courtline pink! As Mish said need about 12 to get it going. Ive offered to host. If a few more come in Ill PM Mish to see if we can get it going.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 No need to PM Rich, I keep an eagle eye on all things GB So reading the mail so to speak. Years ago I did a pink Court Tristar all masked and hand painted with my dad's help. Halcyon Days
marty_hopkirk Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 If it becomes a deal breaker, I might consider throwing my hat in the ring. Marty...
woody37 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'm in. My personal suggestion would be 'Tri-Jets'. With 3 on the go at the moment, I'll go for that !!!!
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 So far then its Me Mitchem kev1n The Velociweiler Stebos marty hopkirk (we need you!) woody37 With a bit of bullying lets drag Mike in too. Come on Mish. Join us LOL!
mitchem Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 So far then itsMe Mitchem kev1n The Velociweiler Stebos marty hopkirk (we need you!) woody37 With a bit of bullying lets drag Mike in too. Come on Mish. Join us LOL! Hey..... ....if I promise to build two, will that count as an extra vote ? (What the hell am I doing ???) mike
richellis Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 will need to check with the boss, Well Mish???

But having said that, if it's a 70's era civil airliner then I'm in. I don't mind how many engines it has either. Chris.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 will need to check with the boss, Well Mish??? Well.... I rather like this one Linky
keefr22 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'll be in as long as its not too type specific (especially 737's - I've built one, don't like them enough to build another when there's so many more interesting airliners to build first!) Keef
