Hello Rob,

 

You can count me in with this one.

 

In addition to tons of injection-moulded ships (1/600, 1/700 and 1/350) I have 1/700 resin kits of:

• HMS Monmouth (WWI)
• HMS Good Hope (WWI)
• HMS Dreadnought (WWI)
• HMS Gloucester (WWI)
• HMS Ascot (WWI)
• SS Ohio (1942)

This would give me a great excuse to get through one or two...

 

All the best,

 

Ray

 

PS I would need to subscribe to Flickr (I am nearly up to my 'free' limit) or find another free image hosting site first though!

Fulmar & Skua in the stash..

Do we have an updated re-count of interested parties?

@rob85 reset the count in the first post earlier this year, so should be accurate with the exception of today's additions which he'll likely get added once he sees them.

Hi Rob,

 

You can still count on me. I have a lot o Navy aircraft. For those interested in building a Seafire in 1/72, there are a few versions available from Special Hobby. I have the Mk.45 in the stash:

 

I'll decide what to do when the time comes.

 

Cheers

Imgur is free an easy to use and no limit, the pictures are public though.

 

SS Ohio! Yes please, extra point for modelling it with its back nearly broken, a Stuka on the deck and being towed by two destroyers

Thanks for tagging me, I’ve been neglecting GB’s at the moment so missed these! And thanks for the bump!

Hello! I did wonder about adding SS Ohio, would she qualify for the GB? She was not in the RN or USN...

 

Dug the kit out yesterday, and it looks really involved, it is the Niko kit. I am not sure my skills would be good enough for your suggestion!

 

Cheers,

Fair point, who ran it? Was it merchant navy?

 

as for the suggestion it was tongue in cheek (but would be a great idea for anybody with time skill and money) so not to be taken seriously.

Shameless little bump for some of the best sunrises & sunsets I've ever seen.  And the stars.....

[rob85 7,571]

Cheers @helios16v gutting that this is 9 away from the bun fight after having so much interest in the original list, sad times 

 

Rob

[825 5,166]

An opportunity to reduce the Seafire stash. 

[helios16v 1,360]

Hey @rob85!  Another one.  Not completely out of it yet, though we'll need about 1 additional interest per day to squeak onto the poll.

Sounds great!

if time allows and doesn’t conflict with the other 8 million GB’s i’ve signed up for then yes please!

[zebra 5,892]

Let's get this into the poll - count me in.

[Paul821 1,523]

Missed this one,. Unlike other proposed GB's I have various items in the stash that would meet the criteria for this GB, so count me in.

[Jb65rams 2,199]

I’m in. Probably a V-22 Osprey.

 

Oops - wrong GB, already signed up for this, planning a floaty thing.
