desmojen Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Welcome to the Kick Up The Arris GB Anything goes in this one, no matter how dusty. Go and ferret out all those uncompleted builds, stalled builds whatever you want to call them. We don't have any rules on how finished or unfinished they have to be, basically, if you have a build that is started, but not finished - it's in! The fun starts on November 1st, giving you all time to collect those 'essential' accessories at Telford if required We're finishing up on Jan 1st 2009. Myself and Dswoofie are your hosts for this one and we look forward to lots of building and lots of banter. Register your interest here in this thread and go dig out those unfinished models to join in the fun on November the 1st! Jen.
Diesel Gypsy Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Hi Jen/Karl. Have you got room in the sand pit for me? I started this puppy yonks ago, so its about time I finished it. A good KUTA is what’s needed……..assuming the position & braced for impact,..... Edited October 29, 2008 by Diesel Donkey
rio Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Count me in, have a couple of Hurricanes that need to be finished.
cmatthewbacon Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Count me in! I have two 1/48 Hasegawa UK Phantoms with the CE intakes installed, stuck at the time to prime stage! bestest, M.
zero Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Me to, me too. PLEASE. Having decided I'm fed up with Piston Aircraft having done 4.5 of them over the last few months I've decided to finish a Jet in this build. Ie this Revell 1/32 scale F-16 XL Jen, may even remember this as it was started probably the better part of four, if not six years ago. Infact I started this on the Airfix board all those years ago. The paint scheme was due to be one of the NASA test Aircraft. Ie http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/images/f-16xl2.jpg or the one I prefer. (with out the lines on the wings (see second picture) http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/images/f-16xl1.jpg http://www.murdoconline.net/2007/f-16xl_e-thumb.jpg. depending on time, I may crack on with this, which stalled two months ago, and I just havn't been able to get going on again. Hasegawa 1/32 Hien (Tony) Should all the Gods Smile on me, and also having a small holiday just before Christmas, but sadly working over it. I'd also like to put this one to bed before starting anything else. But I will be glad to just get that F16 finished ready for Modelkraft 09. Dave Edited October 21, 2008 by zero
Notdoneyet Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm in!! This has been mocking me from the corner of my bench for 3 years now ........ Ha ha, vengence will be mine!! Prepare to meet the display cabinet Ian
Bobs_Buckles Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Roden 1/32 Pfalz DIII Most of you know the history. This might just make me finish it.
AnonymousA667 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Do I have to list all my stalled projects - it is sooo embarrassing... Actually I will probably kick off with a couple of 1/48 aircraft, an Airfix Spitfire IX and a Revell/Dragon Fw 190D. peebeep
AnonymousER99 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Time permitting I will do my best to get the Dynavector Javelin and / or the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire MK.Vb I have had staring at me for the last several months begging to meet the display case inhabitants.
Rallychef Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Count me in, I have a Subaru Rally Team truck & Trailer, bough for me as a Xmas present (2006) when I first returned to the hobby after a 30 year break. got a bit stuck and set it to one side.It is a Scania 113M tractor unit and workshop trailer, currently retired from the main world rally scene, but still pulling the test team around. As I used to freelance for the test team as thier caterer, I would like to get it finished, and I am lucky enough to have loads of reference photos. Hopefully, now I have been back on the model building for about 18 months, I will have the confidence to dig it out of the loft and get it finished, this is just the kick up the arris I needed to get going again. Cheers Ian D. Edited October 22, 2008 by Rallychef
Bandwagon 106 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Okay, I have the following kits to enter, pics to follow. 1/32-Tamiya F-15E Strike Eagle, 336th FS, 4th FW, "The Dragon & His Tail", Academy F-16CG Fighting Falcon 23rd FW 1/48-Revell F-15E Strike Eagle (not sure which unit, maybe something from Operation Anaconda), Hasegawa F-4J Phantom II VMFA-232 1976, Phantom FG.1 XV574 of No.111 sqn, and 3 x A-4E/F Skyhawks, one of which is from VA-192. I want at least one of these finished by January! 3 are so close, its criminal! Joel
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I'm going to have a go with this : An Fujmi 1:48 F-4E in USAF Thunderbird colours. An awful kit and ruined by me with a rubbish paint job. I've started rescuing it by stripping the paint and then put it to one side again. I am to get it fully striped, painted and then finished good enough to put on display.

Prepare to meet the display cabinet Ian How? It's almost finished, and a stunning job too. I hope I can make one of my four to do half as good as that? looking forward to seeing this finished, it deserves it. Dave

The Hooded Claw Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Hmmm after the big clear out of a couple of months ago most of what I have in the loft would qualify for this GB. I'm planning a major sort out up top this weekend into next week so I'll select something then. H
mikeew Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Err..i have a few Revell 1/48 Eurofighter Typhoon Revell 1/48 Phantom FGr.2 Heller 1/35 Flakpanzer Gepard Revell 1/32 Hunter FGA.9 ICM 1/72 MiG-29 Fulcrum "Swifts"
Paul Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) I'm in with this 1/72 Fulimi FG.1 I'm hoping to build a 111 sqn fg.1 in the 1986 special markings as here I've snapped off the two antenna on the tail, so I might need some advice about that! Edited October 25, 2008 by Paul
Bandwagon 106 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Talking of Phantoms, forgot to mention that I have two F-4Es that need to be finished as well! Joel
zero Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 yeh more loony tunes. I'm just disapointed I don't have a started one to finish :shithappens: Phantom GB anyone?
grufsnik Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Hi folks, i'me a newbe here but i still seem to have just as many part built projects as everone else(ah ime not alone ) so i'me thinking a games workshop lizardman saurud lord riding a carnosaur, various bits of kit bashing conversion for my space ork army plus currently various naked orks. There is also a 1.72 P.Z.L P-23 A thats been primed for at least 2 years! how hard can it be to get it finished , best get cracking i think. Grufsnik
dswoofie Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Naked orks and carnosaurs to you too!! I have no idea what they are, but if they are stalled projects, then I guess they are welcome Karl.
mikeew Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Up in the loft this afternoon, I discovered three more started kits, so stick them in. Revell 1/72 F-101 Voodoo Revell 1/48 F-8 Crusader Revell easykit 1/24 Chrysler PT Cruiser - this has been reworked to represent my actual car that I own.
dswoofie Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Blimey! Shaping up nicely with all these 'unfinished' builds... looks like there's going to be a good turn out! Only 3 days to go and we can all get cracking on them Karl.
gcn Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have one in progress model for both the Best of British and the BofB GB's that won't hit the deadline so this little EoT will come in handy. A GR3 Lancaster thats about to get its white coat and a Mk1 Hurricane thats just been Dark Earthed.
