Jaime,

 

Take a look at Jerzy's ( @JWM ) thread on building this kit in these colours.

 

As for participation in a Spanish Civil War GB, I'm still interested.

 IIRC it went to the vote one year but was unsuccessful?  If so, I'm not sure if it ever had its 'free' second go?

I guess it's a question for Enzo as to how we can go forward.  It would be nice to see this resurrected though :)

 

From what I can see it went into the 2016 poll but didn't make the cut.  It then got a "bye" into the 2017 poll and again didn't make the grade.

 

If you can get 30 people to reconfirm, it can go into the poll for 2019.

I think that currently in my stash seven SCW left: 

Nationalists: 

1. Savoia SM 55X

2. Dornier Wal

3. Heinkel He 59 

4. Heinkel He 70

5.  Bf 109 A

6. Romeo Ro 37 bis

Republicans

1. Koolhoven FK 51

Plus I want to do scratch comversion of RWD-9. 

I am planning to buy soon also Dewoitine D 27/53 by Kora.

I will do some of them likely before GB will be launched but I am still in!

My current shelvs with SCW

Thanks Enzo for clarifying the history of this Group Build's attempt to get through the vote.

To be honest, IMHO it looks to be a bit of a lost cause.

 

I know that in an ideal world it would be nice for us to have a dedicated SCW Group Build, but in the absence of this being a realistic proposition, how about we all get behind the Small Wars GB that Col is proposing?  This needs just a few more supporters to get into the forthcoming vote.

 

Cheers

Cliff

Hi Pat

I apologize for long delay with answer, I have not noticed this input... Thank you. I have just started next SCW subject - the RWD 9.

I have also PM you .

 

Nevertheless, I am still "in" if GB will be formed.

Best regards

Hi Jerzy

 

No need to apologise, but as I have a polish builder, I need the phone number of the person who made your display cabinet !

 

Does it come with the aircraft ?  :giggle:

 

Cheers Pat

Pat, exactly! It came with models in a way:  I designed majority of my display cabinets (four of six) and made them by myself :). It is not difficult at all for modeller!

However that particular one in which SCW is presented was bought in IKEA (series name Billy) and only glass doors and shelves I added.

Thank you for the welcome back folks ☺️. I hope that you're all doing well. 
Thanks for resurrecting this idea for a GB Pat. I hope all is well in that beautiful country of yours, I miss it. 

If nothing else (but surely there will be), this thread has led to us finally getting a look at JWM's full collection of SCW models 😍😍!

It also prompted me to gather together the component parts of my body, distributed in random fashion around the house over the last year or so. 

 

Once I had a working arm and jaws, I was able to twist the tops off of a two stage Araldite set and glue myself back together again, which I'm sure that many would agree, can only be seen as 'a good thing'. My left leg doesn't look quite right and I'm sure my right foot wasn't at that angle a year ago, but never mind, I don't use it that much anyway. Does anyone know which side the kidneys slot in 🧟‍♂️?

I need to look back through the thread, are there any AFV people here? SCW is great for eg PzKpfw Ausf. A and B, T-33, BT-5, CV-33/35, many more, including a seemingly endless array of improvised AFV's constructed during the course of the war. Blindado and so on.


Some beautiful subjects for figure modellers too. Although some of the more stunning photographs are said to be posed, it doesn't really matter, they're inspiring. I haven't been on the forum for a while, I'M not sure if these photo links will work, but I'll try. This one of a Republican soldier by Robert Capa:

Posed, but rather wonderfully so:

Marina Ginestà of the Juventudes Comunistas, overlooking Barcelona (aged 17):

A couple of months ago I purchased a Dekno, 1/72 DH-87A Hornet Moth, direct from the website in Catalonia. They often have special offers, I think this was a 20% off offer. It's a resin kit, small but well defined and perfectly formed 🤔. It would be my entry for the Group Build.

I no longer have a bench/mancave; therefore it would be another one of my so far not extremely successful attempts at a 'Stuck in bed with a tray' build. I have yet to agree with SWMBO on a method for using the spray booth, extractor fan, compressor and airbrush whilst in bed, but I'm sure we won't need to involve third party arbitration or escalate it to the UN 👍.

Thanks again Pat and all those that have joined in from our last attempt; it's good to see everyone again 😊.

Best regards

TonyT
