Gajman Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wow, this is looking really good. Second day of the GB and we have 26 entries. Good luck to all of you that have already entered. There is still plenty of time and hopefully more of you will take up the opportunity of joining in. thanks colin,it did have me wonderingdave Sorry Dave, I didn't think to explain. Comrades is a 55 mile run held in South Africa. (www.comrades.com). If you run it 10 times you get what is called your green number, which basically means that the race number you have been running under for those 10 runs becomes yours forever. I know, you're asking why would you run 55 miles 10 times for that? There is no rational reason Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have a few kits which I would like to attempt for this GB. First will be a Belvedere (Anigrand 1:144) to be done in 66 Sqn RAF markings, Borneo 1965/66 I have a couple of Wessex HC.2's (Anigrand 1:144) which I plan to convert to Royal Navy versions. One to a Wessex 1 and the other to a Wessex 5. These will be my contribution to this groupbuild. cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gajman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi Mike, Welcome to the GB. Please start a build thread within the GB forum so that we can see these builds unfold. All I can say is your eyesight must be a lot better than mine. I'm starting to struggle with 1/72, and judging by the 1p for scale, those are tiny.

Gajman Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) There are a lot of interesting and good builds going on in this GB. Thanks to everyone who has joined in, hopefully more BMers will follow your example and join in. As a GB host one of my duties is to keep an eye on the builds and give words of advice and encouragement. I am trying to live up to that expectation and I would add more comments to the builds but I get frustrated by the 'you are posting too soon after your last post' type message that you get if you try post with some time limit, I'm not sure what it is, of your last post. I plan to sit down on a Sunday and spend time posting on each build and apart from that it will just be random postings. So if you have not had a post from me in a while please don't think that I'm neglecting you. I am keeping an eye on all of you Thanks again for taking part in the GB. Metallicus - if you're out there then come on in dude. Gary Edited June 13, 2013 by Gajman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gajman Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) When this GB was first proposed it was going to be hosted by Metalicus. He asked for a helper and I volunteered. I have been unable to get hold of Metalicus. Just to be clear I am not blaming Metalicus, I am giving you the background to this. Things happen in our lives that require us to change priorities and this is after all just a hobby. In his absence I have been running the GB on my own. I am pleased to announce that Steve aka Mad Steve has offered to co-host the GB with me. Steve has already been an active member on the GB. Please give him a warm welcome. And Steve, thank you very much for signing up Gary Edited June 13, 2013 by Gajman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palacefan Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I am going to have a go I think. I don't know what to make though. it will be 1:48 scale but I don't know which of my stash to do. I am trying to get my modelling mojo back. short list is. Merlin, Wessex, Wasp, Seaking and Whirlwind. I have to wait for my sciatica to get better first.

DannyB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 After being presented with the revell reboxing of the zvezda Mil Mi-24v Hind for my birthday this morning by my amazing other half it would be rude not to join in with this GB, that is of course if you'll have me! I'll start a thread in the next couple of days but probably won't start on the build for a week or so as the other part of my bday present is to convert our side shed into a modelling room, and would seem fitting for this to be the first build in my new man-cave.

D1fuN0 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Welcome Danny... I believe that Hind is an awesome kit, and we wait patiently for you to complete your man cave... Oh, and happy birthday... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Cheers Steve To be honest after reading Mike's review I'm really surprised no one else has joined in with one yet, can't wait to get my hands on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Well to be honest, the other day in the shop, I actually picked one up and looked at it, and put it back down again,( prob because I already had a arm full and I have two choppers and a future gb coming up.) But I think before we see September, we may see another one or two. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Argh now I have choices, my brother has just giving me the 1/32 revell lynx! So look out for 2 build threads, I normally struggle with 1 per group build but let's see if I can keep it up with 2 at the same time, lol.
