Rickpadwick1801 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not wanting to cause Rick any undue consternation, and messing up his list on page one, I have changed my mind. After a chat, and a stash raid, I have decided to build....... the Lady. This ones for you, Rick. I will update the list tonight and ensure that everyone's choices are duly logged. Matt, I am looking forward to this one. I know full well the missus won't let me buy an Air wolf kit for a long time yet. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I was looking at that picture, hearing the Airwolf theme in my head...and then I realised it was actually Roobard and Custard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built two RC Airwolf's and they always caught the attention of passers by when I was flying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defence they are quite similar! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIoSPevvsds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zedq1VhaS90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Blooming eck, haven't heard roobarb in donkeys years. Suppose I coukd always attempt a double build, and get out my blue thunder repop kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do an Airwolf vs Blue Thunder combat diorama with them both airborne and Airwolf in combat mode. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 ok I missed this thread going up...other thing on unfortunately! As mentioned in the pre-voting thread I will be building this beasty. It was meant to have a bigger role in Caprica but unfortunately it only appeared/mentioned in a flight simulator scene in one episode. It's a nice and simple resin model that almost falls together, gotta love good resin models! Al looking forward to building this as it will be the first SciFi model I've done for years. If time permitted there are a couple of other resin beastys I'd just love to build! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I had a thought recently [yes, I know, it hurts - I'll not be doing too many of those again] Would Leonardo da Vinci's inventions fit into this? They were, sort of, scientific fantasy or fiction - sci-fi.. None of his drawings were made and many would never have worked. I think I have a kit of his 'helicopter'.

S5 modeller Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 At the time he designed them, they would have been a work of pure science fiction, and to my knowledge a working prototype has never existed, so I would have thought they should count. Just my thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would think so especially as S5 modeller said, they would be a work of science fiction when he designed them. So yes, we can include that one.

Madhatter Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'll be changing my entry to The Domelaze from SBY 2199. So can't wait. Am I allowed to design the lighting system now? It won't constitute 1/4 (25%) of the build if that matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickpadwick1801 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, Just wondering if any of the participants would like to design a Sig image for the GB ? If anyone would like to or designs one, please send me a PM with the image in it. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Shumsky Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just wondering if any of the participants would like to design a Sig image for the GB ? What dimensions (in pixels) should it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 What dimensions (in pixels) should it be? Hi Ian, It should be 400 x 150 pixels in size to go in the signatures of the forum. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'd like to enter my 'Against a Dark Background' bits.....Although they are started, nothing like 25% has been achieved on any of them, glue has scarcely been used although the razor-saw has had a fairly decent workout. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
