P-47M Thunderbolt – “Devastatin Deb” – RAF Boxted, May 1945.
Marklo replied to Geo1966's topic in P-47 Thunderbolt STGB
Very nice George. I’ve built the Jeep it’s a lovely little kit. -
CA mixed with MIG metal pigments actually works well for fine gaps. My favourite filkers ( well it was Squadron green stuff until they stopped making it) are Tamiya putty, milliput and perfect plastic putty I do also like liquid green stuff. I keep all my fillers in a very large plastic screw top jar to keep them from drying out.

Welcome again Enzo. As happens I’m focusing on finishing two academy kits (as well as my thunderbolts of course) they’re not the worst And also in a somewhat ironic twist SWMBO and junior are both at work and I’ve got some kind of bug so don’t feel at all like making models…

Welcome Stu

Yes er of course really easy ahem, oh look what’s that over there… oh and welcome to the GB.
-
I think that would be a great idea, or even specific battles or campaigns.
-
I’d agree we should definitely have a special GB but I think we should have some specific themes eg the fall of Berlin or Iwo Jima or even dioramas otherwise it may just devolve into just build stuff.

You can’t blame me for trying

If this one goes and I’m thinking it’ll be my excuse to scratch a 1/48 Saunders-Roe SR.A/1

Marklo replied to Enzo the Magnificent's topic in Blitzbuild 2023 - Part 2
And this is half of build number two. It’ll be about 12 inches tall but I won’t use it as a rule… -
How about a Gloster Whittle?

Academy vs Revell 1/72 belligerently battling bubble tops
Marklo replied to AdrianMF's topic in P-47 Thunderbolt STGB
Welcome to the GB Adrian. I’m building two of the revell kits but I’m well past the point where your method would be feasible and I’m not up for the only alternate to cut and shut the belly…hmmm -

You might be able to revive them with microscale liquid decals. Alternatively if you can scan them and then reprint them in decal paper. -

de Havilland Mosquito STGB - The Wooden Wonder
Marklo replied to Johnson's topic in Groupbuild Proposals 2025
We did do De Havilland this year and there were many mosquitoes (including my now KUTA entry ) but not mosquitoes on their own. So yes sign me up. -
My part built aquatic panzer 38(t) got me thinking. What about a GB for amphibious machines. The likes of the Sherman DD the DUKW, the Amphicar or any aeroplane that lands on water. My Sablatnig My almost completed amphibious panzer 38(t) So that’s the proposal build in any scale anything that can go on land and or water. I suppose that does include toads, frogs and newts too 1.

Simple proposal while printing my Imperial probe droid it occurred to me that it would be nice to do a purely Star Wars themed GB. My Revell ARC170 So the proposal is for any vehicle or figure from any of the films, the many TV series or the books and comics in any scale. 1. me 2. @Trevor L 3. @psdavidson 4. @Corsairfoxfouruncle 5. @R T Fishall 6. @Thom216 7. @FG2Si

Marklo replied to LorenSharp's topic in Here comes the Fleet Air Arm GB
Ah well another KUTA entry but I’m still chipping away on my Blackburn. Next year I will only enter one build per GB except for the tiger STGB. -
Panzer MKVI Tiger STGB - 30 Mar to 30 Jun 2024
Marklo replied to Marklo's topic in Future Group Builds
I’d class a paper project as ok and we can include those as long as there’s some evidence of design work. What we’re ruling out is the pure what ifs.
